During the last week, he was trying to capture a complicated scene showing two teams racing up the river with camera boats behind, and a celebrating crowd in period costume on a barge. More than once, his shot was ruined by a leisure boat pottering into view. A source on set said: 'We have a flowing river, with the very large film set blocking one entire half of it, then two way traffic on the other half of it, going up and down at intervals – like a traffic light system.' Beaming: George flashed his Hollywood smile in between takes on the day They continued: 'The weather was really hot on Tuesday meaning there were an awful lot of tourists and locals taking their boats out. 'And of course, once word of filming got out, everyone on the water went to see what was going on. 'Throughout the day it was 45 minutes of filming, then 45 minutes off. The 45 minutes off was to clear the river traffic building up. 'There were a couple of slip-ups and boats just didn't stop when they were supposed to.' The film is based on a book by Daniel James Brown and stars British actor Callum Turner.
