Filming on Chris Hemsworth's new movie was abandoned yesterday due to devastating flash floods. The actor and crew were forced to evacuate the set of 'In the Heart of the Sea' in the Canary Islands due to mudslides and bad weather conditions - which killed five people in the region - on the advice of local authorities. The director revealed they initially tried to get around the bad weather by moving filming indoors. He tweeted: "Rare heavy rain in La Gomera forced us to our small converted cover stage... "torrential outside, the crew dried work shoes as we shot a scene inside. Sound was ruined by rain on roof tho (sic)" However, he then revealed local authorities advised that production be stopped for the day - and they left the set at the right time. He said: "Then our access road began to flood. "Soon we were advised to wrap and evacuate. Pronto. ASAP "Good luck that no cars or people were swept away or hit by tumbling rocks. All's well that ends well (sic)" It is unlikely that shooting in La Gomera will resume today.
