Film stars set up camp near Eaton Bray

Posted on July 10, 2007

Land around Edlesborough Church has been turned into a Scottish movie set that will feature in a new Hollywood romantic comedy that's currently in production.

Grey's Anatomy McDreamy star Patrick Dempsey heads the cast of Made of Honour, which is due for release next year.

More than 400 cast and crew are involved in the production which has taken them to New York, California, Scotland and Hungary.

Recently they turned up for a day's filming at Ashridge before setting up camp in Edlesborough.

Little is known about the plot other than it involves a man falling in love with an engaged woman after she ask him to be her maid of honour.

The movie also stars Kevin McKidd (Rome's Lucius Vorenus), Sydney Pollack, Hill Street Blues' James Sikking and Britain's own Hannah Gordon.

Made of Honour is being directed by Brit Paul Weiland, whose career has swung from ignominiously being nominated as worst director in the 1988 Razzie Awards for Leonard Part 6, to being BAFTA nominated for Blackdder Back and Forth.
