Dan Monk, the director of astrophotography at Kielder Observatory, produced an image for the film, which was released on Friday and had its gala premiere at the Tyneside Cinema on Thursday.

Filmed at locations across the region, North Easterners can pick out familiar filming spots such as Holy Island, Rothbury and even the Angel of the North. For an action scene on the Holy Island Causeway at night, the team searched for authentic Northumberland dark sky images.
