Ewan McGregor in St Albans
7:30am Saturday 5th May 2007
CROWDS of people gathered in St Albans city centre on Tuesday to try and catch a glimpse of the shooting of Hollywood star Ewan McGregor's new film.
St Peter's Street, Market Place and St Albans Abbey will all be used this week as backgrounds to Incendiary, a romantic drama due out in 2008.
The film tells the story of an adulterous woman whose life is torn apart when her husband and infant son are killed in a suicide bombing at a football match.
It is based on the bestselling novel by British author Chris Cleave.
Extras, who auditioned in St Albans last weekend, were on stand-by while leading lady Michelle Williams, best known for her Dawsons Creek role, was filmed in a scene getting off a bus outside Monsoon on Tuesday.
On Wednesday Robert Dyas, in St Peter's Street, became a discount sports store for the day, Specsavers in Market Place was turned into a florist and on Thursday a funeral scene is due to be shot at the abbey.

There are rumours that Heath has recently been caught with a girl in LA and he recently made an unanounced visit to the Incendiary set in Pinewood Studios and since then Michelle has been seen crying and crying when not actually filming and apparently Ewan has been consoling her. Apparently this hapened last week.
