Dame Judi Dench is to play Sir Kenneth Branagh's grandmother in a new movie.
The actor will helm the semi-autobiographical film, which is said to be inspired by his childhood, growing up in a big family in Northern Ireland.
Whilst Judi will play his grandmother, Ciaran Hinds is set to play his grandfather. Caitriona Balfe ('Outlander') and Jamie Dornan ('The Fall', 'Fifty Shades of Grey') are set to star as Branagh's parents in the new film.
Jude Hill will be cast as a young boy - inspired by but not named after Branagh - as the movie documents his childhood in Belfast in the late 1960s.
The Daily Mail newspaper's Baz Bamigboye column reports that filming has already started in parts of England with plans to film some in Belfast, too.
Branagh and Dench have worked together a number of times in the past and he previously dubbed her his "favourite leading actress", after managing to score her for his movie 'All Is True', which centres on the life of playwright William Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway, played by Dench.
Branagh - who also starred in the movie as Shakespeare himself - said: "Judi has always been my favourite leading actress."
