Harrison Ford spotted at Bamburgh Castle during new Indiana Jones film trailer

Eagle-eyed North East film buffs will have been left delighted after one of the region's best-known beauty spots appeared in the trailer for an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster.

With the fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones franchise set to hit cinemas on June 30 next year, a teaser trailer has been released to the public and features shots of Northumberland's iconic Bamburgh Castle.

In true Hollywood style, the castle can be seen engulfed in flames in the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny- which we are happy to confirm was simply the work of CGI and special effects.

This comes after movie legend Harrison Ford caused a stir when he was spotted in various locations in the North East earlier this year when filming was taking place in the region.

The Air Force One actor was pictured walking further along the Quayside in Newcastle, with the Tyne Bridge and Sage Gateshead in the background, and was spotted cycling on the banks of the River Tyne.

He also took in the best of the city's restaurant scene, with Harrison turning the heads of diners when he walked through the doors of popular Asian restaurant and glam nightspot Aveika on the Quayside.

A spokesperson for Aveika previously told Chronicle Live that, after attracting his fair share of attention, Harrison, who has also starred in the likes of The Fugitive and as Han Salo in the Star Wars films, didn't stay at the restaurant for too long.

One eagle eyed city centre driver clocked him and later tweeted: "Driving down the quayside and Harrison Ford casually strolls past the car and into Aveika, hahahaha"

And a diner at the nearby Hard Rock Café also got a shock when they spotted him nearby after leaving the restaurant.

They tweeted: "Brilliant trip to the @HardRock in Newcastle. And spotted #HarrisonFord on the quayside. Which was nice..."

There was also great excitement in North Shields when the 78-year-old surprised customers at The Ship's Cat by calling into the popular haunt by the coast.

A picture of Harrison at the restaurant in his cycling gear quickly spread like wildfire on social media, with The Ship's Cat sharing it on their Instagram and writing: "Imagine sitting here enjoying your coffee then you look over and it's.... Indiana Jones!

"What an honour to have Harrison Ford join us today on the decking here at the Ship's Cat! You are welcome back anytime. What a legend!"
