‘I’ve been working in gym for this part’ Popular Scottish actor Gerard Butler arrived yesterday morning in Belgrade, while today he will join the crew of Coriolanus, a film in which he stars opposite Ralph Fiennes. Butler’s arrival had been planned for an earlier time, but had been delayed a few times due to the air traffic chaos caused by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud After changing flights twice, Butler has managed to find his way through to Belgrade, where the filming of Fiennes’ directorial debut has been under way for a month. During his stay, Butler will reside in Belgrade’s Hyatt Hotel, in a luxurious, fully-equipped penthouse. The actor is scheduled to stay in Serbia until the end of the week, shooting his scenes from Coriolanus, and playing the role of Tullus Aufidius, the commander of the Volscian army and sworn enemy of main character Coriolanus, portrayed by director Ralph Fiennes himself. Butler began his acting career at an audition in a London theatre for the role of Coriolanus, in an adaptation of famous Shakespeare’s play. - “This is a brilliant adaptation and for me this is a great honour to play alongside Fiennes, Vanessa Redgrave and Brian Cox. Ralph is a wonderful man and a genius with a great passion for what he does and for this whole project. Given he plays Coriolanus, and I play his arch-rival Tullus Aufidius, Ralph has been calling me Tullus,” says Butler, who has recently revealed he has had to work out in the gym on a daily basis in order to prepare for the role. - “Tullus is fearless and I’m getting back in shape and working out really hard. Of course, warfare is no fun, but I’m looking forward to working with Ralph,” said Butler. Ralph Fiennes, the director of the film, says Butler instantly loved the idea of portraying his character. - “The male rivalry is of key significance for Coriolanus’ character, and Gerard is perfect for the immense threat that looms over the main character,” explained Fiennes. english.blic.rs/Culture-Showbiz/6323/Ive-been-working-in-gym-for-this-part

Gerard Butler to arrive in Belgrade
Gerard Butler, the popular Scottish actor who became famous after the role of King Leonidas in a film “300”, will have a role in the film “Coriolanus”. Shooting of the film starts in March next year in Belgrade.
The film will be directed by Ralph Fiennes who has the main role. Apart from Fiennes and Butler in “Coriolanus” which is a modern version of the well-know play by Shakespeare, William Hurt and Vanessa Redgrave will also be part of the cast. This will be Fiennes’s direction debut and the famous actor said that he chose Butler for this role because he has already had a role in the same theatre play. Last year Fiennes visited Serbia twice in order to see the potential shooting locations. Buildings which have left the strongest impressions on Fiennes are The Palace of Serbia and IMT factory. He has also visited Deliblatska pescara, Petrovardin and the PINK film studio in Simanovci. During his second visit in November last year, Fiennes met Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic, who promised the famous actor to have the police forces, gendarmerie and cavalry at his disposal for the shooting. “Coriolanus” is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, based on the life of the legendary Roman leader, Gaius Martius Coriolanus. This Roman general got the name Coriolanus after conquering the Volscian city of Corioles in 493 BC. Condemned as a traitor, he was banished.
ohhh finaly....i am so excited!!

Kostic - V. Lalic | Comments: 0 Gerard Butler, who arrived in Belgrade yesterday, but yesterday at half past seven in the morning began with a scene from "Coriolanus," directed by Ralph Fiennes, and the area around KPGT and old sugar throughout the day was a prohibited zone for all the curious . Anyway, during yesterday on the set he has been involved a number of extras, as well as soldiers and members of the SAJ's, and in addition to Butler, who plays Aufidija Tullius, Volšèanske army commander, in most scenes appeared and Slavko Stimac, who plays Deputy Tulijevog. Gerard Butler yesterday, surrounded by assistants on the set In the tradition of British actors that the recording comes fully prepared (if necessary from the plane to get on the set), and Butler was yesterday the first Petlovo rose at five o'clock in the morning, and about ten to six by the front of the Hyatt waiting for a car that he was transferred to the Workers' streets ... recording began as early as six thirty. Anyway, round about the club and the old sugar KPGT yesterday and police are guarding the security personnel and input has been banned for all but the film crew members. According to plan recording, made the mass scenes (which were used and tanks), the presence of members of the SAJ, the number of extra troops and, apart from Butler who plays the character Tullius Aufidija, Koriolanovog sworn enemy, yesterday was very busy and Slavko Stimac , which plays Tulijevog alternates. Tanks in a modern version of Shakespeare's At a press conference held before the start of filming Slavko Stimac was asked if playing the villain or the positives, he replied: - I would not say that my character is completely negative, and was a line that I would not be a good boy. I am glad to work with Ralph because really appreciate his work. Butler will probably stay in Belgrade until the end of the week, a popular Scottish actor is really busy - currently promoting the film "The Bounty Hunter" and "How To Train Your Dragon," and besides "Coriolanus," plays in the realization of "Untitled Comedy" , in which his partner, Naomi Watts, and soon began working on the project, "Burns", which played the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. Ralph Fiennes, who in preparation for recording rendered much praise at the expense of Serbia, explained why Belgrade is the ideal location for a modern version of Shakespeare's "Coriolanus." For the record engaged members of the military and SAJ-a - Serbia and Belgrade us a perfect fit in a creative and financial terms. Also, the cost of shooting in Serbia are relatively low, and we have a great deal of help and support from the Serbian authorities. But more important than this is a Serbian persistence and interesting sites. For example, in Belgrade, there is the contrast between the Austrian architecture, the old communist style and neoclassicism of the twentieth century - Ralph Fiennes says, adding: - All of these styles and layers created a world that is modern, but also full of history. I want people to ask, "Where is it?" I can think that the film is happening in Germany, Russia, Argentina ... Belgrade has the weight of the capital. It is a powerful city, but it also could be any other city. Immersed in a very unique history and culture, but also may represent the whole world. That is why Belgrade is the perfect location for a modern adaptation of the play.

This is what I think is happening, when Gerry was originally scheduled to show up he was going to come and then leave and come back but then they changed the schedule so he showed up after all his other obligations are over but the press has the old information.....
Gerry is not working on Burns as far as we know, it is clear that Machine Gun Preacher is the next movie that is a go on his agenda and that was never due to start until Mayish
Bet you love that crack of dawn remark

I say that Ralph doesn't let G get naked. His ego won't allow it. There may be some nice shots of him wearing a wife beater though... ARMS!!! Looks like he's already wearing one under his uniform in that shot of him walking to the set.
Oh my... when I wrote "under his uniform," I got all tingly.

A new article about the movie has appeared no new photos of Gerry but some of his costars. It seems the author was allowed to watch filming and as one would guess Gerard has ingratiated himself with everyone quickly, being Mr. Funny to Mr. Fienne's serious. He has apparently got memorized everyone's names, because he enjoys saying the Serbian names though with the Scottish accent the Serbs find it amusing. He charmed one of his costars by noting her performance in a movie she assumed no one in the US had ever seen. Here is the link, the translation is not perfect, waiting for a Serbian person at another site to polish up the translation though I can give it a shot in some other sections www.blic.rs/Zabava/Vesti/186358/Batler-zaduzen-za--salu-na-snimanjuThe famous actor is beautifully done in Belgrade Butler in charge of a joke on the set Milica Cule | 23rd 04th 2010th - 00:02 h | Photo: N.

Hello! first day of shooting in Belgrade shoot Hollywood star Butler could hardly stand in uniform! Thursday - 04/22/2010 Scottish actor Džerard Butler yesterday in the complex KPGT by Sugar, under the watchful eye of an enormous number of people from security, shot her first scene in "Coriolanus," the actor and director Ralph Fajnsa. The team has already arrived on the set at seven o'clock in the morning and set to work using the good weather. I have been waiting for extras "at the ready" to the collector schedules, and all were operating as a Swiss watch. At that convinced the team, "Hello!", Which is šunjajuæi in the style of secret agents, which are located walked defilovali men dressed in military uniforms, but also a large number of members of the security and police to take care of actors whose fees are counted millions. The muscular Butler, charmingly overgrown beard in a few days, barely slipped into the uniform, which confirmed his words to hard exercise every day to prepare for the role. In front of the favorite meeting tehnoomladine, two tanks were parked on the other hand a great trailer from which to serve food and refreshing drinks. In addition to the parking lot, located a newer model car "Mercedes", presumably, transportation famous butler. There is also a few open coffee-trailer, where actors can drink coffee. - A lot of these actors are fine, not izvoljevaju anything, just are modest, and all are well mannered, always arise with "helou" - tells us one of the girls from the bars. Otherwise, King Leonidas from the hit film "300" is now a harsh Tullius Aufidije, volšèanske commander of the army and sworn enemy of the Roman general Coriolanus, who plays Fajns. Potato for lunch Lunch Break just is not sheer luck and manage to umuvamo the team and enter the garden of the theater, then in one of the rooms where the canteen was opened with a rich selection of cooked dishes, including potato dishes prevail. Extras lunch sandwiches, making them the per diem of two thousand dinars seems pleased, even though the filming of the dawn, but also aware that they would have sent just before 8 May, when the last drop gangs. www.alo.rs/ljudi/26617/Batler_jedva_stao_u_uniformu

So far though he has only been there for 2 days, those girls on twitter did say security was very tight, they are getting security provided by the Serbian army you know wouldn't want to mess with them and the few photos we have seen clearly were photographers invited on set, not sure why they wouldn't be trying to market those photos wider unless Ralph wants things more secretive or give his buddies at 30 Ninja the exclusive - you can be sure this is not going to be the Bounty Hunter redux- I have never seen a movie set so papped and I love Gerry but for all his protestations to the contrary, it was clear the paps were allowed that kind of access from the get go you can get rid of the paps if you really want to

If you know G is filming in a certain city, just look up the hottest, trendiest club and he WILL BE THERE!!!! BTW, a report on E! said he was filming for 4 weeks in Belgrade and did studio work already in LA for this film. Interesting.

Probably have to use product to keep his hair straight, LOL. I wonder what kind of studio work since Ralph has been in Belgrade since March 15th, voice work? unless they are doing some CGI? expensive for an indy film? Three to four weeks sounds more plausible. One week certainly not. Two months sounded too long. The only studio work he was doing we thought was for HTTYD.

Well she left the club without him, hee hee but she is very pretty, a little different than his usual menu that is always refreshing Now apparently according to the Serbian poster over at JJ, the director that Gerry is hiring to do Hanging Tales or is in discussions with to direct Hanging Tales made the movie that Katarina stars in along with one of his costars in Coriolanus, Elizabeta Dorveska? A movie called "Tears for Sale" which came out in 2008. Remeber he impressed Ms. Dorveska by the very fact he had seen it. It is a small world after all.
