The crowd filmed the scene at a beach in Gorleston, England, for the yet untitled movie, which was written by “Love Actually” director Richard Curtis.

Boyle, who won an Oscar for “Slumdog Millionaire” and will direct the next James Bond film, applauded the crowd for their work during the shoot.

“That was incredible, wonderful wonderful energy,” he said.

Last month, producers took to Twitter to find “unpaid concert spectators” for the project. A day later, Curtis’ partner Emma Freud tweeted that some 7,400 people had registered to take part.

After Tuesday’s shoot, Freud wrote to her followers on the social media platform that 6,000 people had come for the shoot, adding that it was “technically the biggest film crowd ever shot on British soil”.

Little is known about the film, which is said to be inspired by The Beatles and stars “Downton Abbey” actress Lily James, according to the UK’s BBC.
