Bond star shooting film in Dublin

'Casino Royale' star Eva Green begins work on her new film 'Cracks' in Dublin today.
Along with Green, the film will also star 'Atonement's Juno Temple and '28 Weeks Later' actress Imogen Poots.
Set in a boarding school in 1930s England, the film tells the story of a girl's unhealthy bond with her teacher which is threatened by the arrival of a new student.
The film is an Irish-UK co-production, with the Irish company Element Pictures among the companies involved.
Speaking about the film Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures said: "We are particularly pleased that Jordan [Scott, director] has cast two 13-year-old Dublin girls, with no previous drama experience, Adele McCann and Zoe Carroll, for two key roles."
Scott is the daughter of legendary director Ridley Scott and is making her feature directing debut with 'Cracks'.
Her father's company, Scott Free, is also among the producers of the film.
'Cracks' will be shot in Ireland over the next seven weeks.
