Villagers Angered By Lengthy Spielberg Filming Schedule!


CHIPPENHAM, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 22: Steven Spielberg (R) stands on the set of his new film 'War Horse. which is currently being filmed in Castle Combe on September 22, 2010 near Chippenham, England. The picturesque Wiltshire village now closed for filming until the end of September, is doubling for a Devon village during the First World War. Spielberg is adaptating Michael Morpurgo's novel 'War Horse' which is the story of a young farmhand who braves the World War I trenches in an effort to bring his cherised horse home after it is sold to the military and sent to France.

Steven Spielberg is facing the wrath of residents in a small English village who accuse the producer of disrupting their quiet lives while he shoots new epic 'WAR HORSE'.


The 'Jurassic Park' helmer is busy filming the movie - adapted from the play about a young man who joins the cavalry in a bid to save his beloved horse - in picturesque Castle Combe, Wiltshire.

Spielberg is reimbursing residents whose homes are being used in the movie, but neighbours are fed up with the project's lengthy schedule and the strict security measures which have been put in place.

One local tells the Daily Express rag:

"It makes me so angry that I can't even take my car out of my drive. The level of security is ridiculous. I'm ready for them to leave now."


The village has become quite popular with movie-makers, as 'Doctor Dolittle' and 'Stardust' were both shot there.
