Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman amongst film crew and extras take a strole along Berwicks walls while filming an adaptation of Eric Lomax's The Railway Man
HOLY Island Causeway is in the news again this week, but rather than stranded motorists, the focus was a pair of Hollywood superstars.
Oscar-winners Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth were in north Northumberland last week filming for The Railway Man.
The film is based on the book by 92-year-old Berwick resident Eric Lomax, who was captured during the Second World War at the fall of Singapore and was forced to work on the infamous Thai-Burma ‘death railway’ as a prisoner-of-war.
Firth has already visited Mr Lomax twice and took the opportunity to meet him again after filming wrapped on Friday.
The filming on Holy Island took place last Thursday, before the famous pair spent the night at Tillmouth Park Hotel, near Cornhill.
They were joined by Kidman’s two young daughters Sunday and Faith, along with their nanny.
