The film isn't to be released until fall 2018. They have just started filming, and 15th/16th October 2017 they were filming in Tintagel outside The Old Post Office (re-branded as Malory's Gallery & Gift Shop), although the scene being shot was in 'Pendragon's Replica Weapons' in reality Celtic Legend.
[UPDATE - DVD release date in the UK due June 24, 2019.
Having now seen the film, I see I was standing in completely the wrong place to get the correct angles. And, having stood around watching the filming process for around 3 hours, the actual scene, about 1hr 16min in, lasts for less than 20 seconds!]
