A new Netflix movie has been filming right under our noses this week.
Images have surfaced online of the filming of new Netflix movie ‘Bank of Dave’ in Leeds city centre this week.
British actors Rory Kinnear, known best for his role as M in James Bond and Game of Throne’s Joel Fry were both spotting filming the new movie inside Central Square of Wellington Street this Saturday.
Mirroring Canary Wharf, the office building was transformed into the Financial Regulatory Board to film scenes for Netflix movie Bank of Dave.

The up-and-coming blockbuster is capturing the life events of Dave Fishwick, a self-made millionaire that shot to fame in the Channel 4 series Bank of Dave.
Central Square commented: “Another exciting day today at Central Square with Netflix filming scenes from the upcoming movie Bank of Dave, starring Rory Kinnear (Skyfall, Penny Dreadful) and Joel Fry (Game of Thrones, Cruella).
“We were picked as they wanted a building Leeds that looked like it was in Canary Wharf and we fitted the billSo for one day only we are the offices of the Financial Regulation Board.“
Back in 2011, Dave set up his own bank in his home town of Burnley, Lancashire to help inject much-needed life into local businesses and to prove that banks can be socially responsible by donating any profits to charity. The story is now going to be warming the hearts of Netflix viewers when it is released as a full-length movie.
Rory Kinnear has been settling into the role of Dave Fishwick, whilst other members of cast have had their roles in the storyline kept under wraps. The cast includes Game of Throne’s Joel Fry and Paul Kaye, Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor; TV’s Jo Hartley and Peaky Blinders’ Jean-Pascal Heyneman to name a few.

More information is expected to be released closer to the post-production phase of the movie and whilst it’s unclear whether further filming will commence in Leeds, we’re sure that our city would be delighted to see the return of British actors aplenty.
