Minister Owen Bonnici Visits ‘Has Fallen’ Action Series Filming In Malta

Minister for Culture, the Arts and Local Government, Owen Bonnici, together with Film Commissioner Johann Grech, visited the cast, crew, and artistic team during the production of this series in Malta.

The country is playing a significant role, hosting a substantial portion of the entire production (47%), with several iconic locations featured in the series, including the National Stadium at Ta’ Qali, the AFM training grounds in Pembroke, and Kordin Prison.

Minister Bonnici explained that this international production continues to put Malta on the global map while also creating new employment opportunities for the local creative community.

“The Government is committed to attracting more projects of this calibre, which represent direct investment in our economy and in the skills of our country. For this production alone, 166 Maltese and Gozitan crew members will be part of this experience,” Minister Bonnici stated.

Film Commissioner Johann Grech added, “Productions like these are important not only for our economy and the country’s image, but also because they provide opportunities to further upskill Maltese and Gozitan crews.”

Written by Howard Overman and directed by David Caffrey in collaboration with Alice Troughton, the series features, among others, actress Ritu Arya, best known for Umbrella Academy, and actor Tewfik Jallab, known from the series Dark Hearts. The story follows MI6 officers actively investigating a criminal terrorist organisation in a European city.
