Title: Cafe Dismantled To Recapture Swinging Sixties

An interesting little article from The Daily Express...

QUOTE

THE historic Café de Paris is to be completely dismantled and rebuilt for a big-budget British movie, An Education – and the whole process will be captured on film by actor Orlando Bloom.

Club regular Orlando stars in the flick, the story of a 17-year-old suburbanite caught up in the glamorous world of Sixties London, which also features Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson and Olivia Williams.

“It will cost a five-figure sum to take down all the venue décor and furnishings and turn the Café into the swinging Sixties,” reports our girl at the bar.

“The Café was also transformed for the Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller film, The Edge Of Love, but this will be far more dramatic – Orlando will be recording the whole transformation on his own camcorder.

“The film’s producers have quite a task on their hands – the Café’s owners want it all back to normal for their usual footballers and young pop stars by the weekend so everything will have to be put back in a frenzy.”


Not sure how much truth is in this article. On one hand they say 'THE historic Café de Paris is to be completely dismantled and rebuilt' implying that its a future project, yet on the other they say 'the Café’s owners want it all back to normal for their usual footballers and young pop stars by the weekend' implying that it has already been transformed and has to be back to normal for the weekend. :huh:

I'll keep my eye open for other alerts that may make it a little clearer as to whether shooting has begun or not! :rolleyes:

Thanks Jesse for the info. It's been quiet on the Orlando front lately. It is curious as to timeframe. I wonder if anyone will capture him capturing it.
