New War Horse set spy photos

New pictures from the set of Steven Spielberg's new film War Horse have hit the web and reveal a picture postcard English village dressed to look like it would in World War One.

The photos don't show any cast or crew, but they do give a glimpse of the set-dressing in the village of Castle Combe.

According to a spy on Bleeding Cool "all the set dressing was done in ten hours, courtesy of a huge crew and over twenty night time security staff. And filming proper starts this Tuesday (September 21). The dressers have put out all fresh fruit and veg out, have changed door numbers, laid down the dirt road and stuck moss in all the right place. In fact five people were dedicated to moss dressing the sets. Reports are that they’re spending a lot of money making this look just right."

War Horse will be released on August 10, 2011.

Update: More War Horse set pictures hit the web!

Another batch of photographs of Steven Spielberg hard at work on the set of his new movie War Horse have gone online today.

They're similar to the last lot I linked to, but these give a much clearer view of the set and actors. Can anyone spot any familiar faces? I assume Janusz Kaminski is the DP, but couldn't see him in any of the photos taken of the camera rig...

First pictures of Spielberg on War Horse set!

As expected the first pictures of Steven Spielberg on the War Horse set in England emerged online today.

The photographs, published in The Herald newspaper in Plymouth, show Spielberg - in trademark leather jacket, cap and sunglasses - on the outskirts of a moorland village called Meavy.

A photo gallery on the newspaper's website shows a relaxed-looking Spielberg chatting with crew members, along with photographs of a brown horse (is this the War Horse of the title?)

The story doesn't make it clear whether filming has actually started yet (I don't know whether Spielberg would have been quite so relaxed with the cameras being there if it had) or whether he was just on set to oversee the final preparations.

Lynsey Glazier, who works at the Royal Oak pub in Meavy, told the newspaper: "A lot of the crew working on the set have been coming in for lunch. They have all been really nice people.

"There's a real buzz around here. I don't think we've seen any of the actors yet but it is early days. The set is just being put together. It's quite exciting."

Check out The Herald website for the full story and more pictures.

War Horse is due for release on August 10, 2011.
