Oscar-winning actor Olivia Colman has been spotted filming in Kent as crews set up on Romney Marsh.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old has been seen in Dungeness over the last two days – alongside Irish actor Andrew Scott – as cameras rolled for the new Elsinore film.<\/p>\n
Crews filming Elsinore used The Pilot Inn car park in Dungeness as a base<\/p>\n
The pair were seen at Prospect Cottage – the former home of artist Derek Jarman – during the first day of shooting in the county yesterday.<\/p>\n
Filming continued in the area today, but the team is expected to leave the area this afternoon.<\/p>\n
The main production vehicles were stationed at The Pilot Inn, and Colman popped into the pub for about an hour yesterday during a break in filming.<\/p>\n
But crews were seen packing up their equipment today when KentOnline arrived at the pub at 12pm.<\/p>\n
Directed by Bafta-nominated Simon Stone, Elsinore is set to follow the life of actor Ian Charleson.<\/p>\n

Film crews have been spotted coming in and out of Prospect Cottage over the last two days<\/p>\n
The film centres on the period during which Charleson was preparing to play Hamlet at the National Theatre in London in 1989.<\/p>\n
The Scottish star, who was seriously ill with Aids, was brought into the production after Daniel Day-Lewis abandoned the role.<\/p>\n
Charleson\u2019s performance went on to receive rave reviews and he died just two months later.<\/p>\n
He was also known for his starring role as Olympic athlete and missionary Eric Liddell in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time part of Kent\u2019s coast has been transformed into a film set in recent months.<\/p>\n
