Keeping Mum

[deckard]

Word has come through on our local "who's filming what and where" grapevine that filming is taking place at the moment at St.Just-in-Roseland(about 10mins from where I live). The film is reportedly called "Keeping Mum" and has acting on location at this time, Patrick Swayze?,Rownan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas(back to her roots as she was born in Redruth, Cornwall.)Anyone know anything more about it? Regards, Decks.

Forget Hollywood,forget Pinewood,forget Bollywood - Falmouth is the new film capital of the world. Steven Spielberg is remaking Treasure Island in Falmouth,with Jethro playing Long John Silver;Baz Luhrmann is filming Pirates of Penzance;Wes Craven is remaking The Birds (forget Hitchcock's relocated version);now who can make Jamaica Inn? Rebecca? Whycliffe the Movie!

Great news that the land of my matriarchal fathers is getting some recognition,and I hope the film shares the beauty of Cornwall with the rest of the film world.

Did you Marge Simpson's Christmas broadcast to the nation and Lisa Simpson coming out with a placard saying FREE CORNWALL NOW!

According to a Sunday mag,Keeping Mum also stars Rowan Atkinson as a vicar who is more concerned about his parish than his marriage,thus driving his wife (Kirten Scott Thomas) into the arms of an American golf instructor (Patrick Swayze). Maggie Smith plays a local busybody who notices the affair and decides to try and sort things out.
