An undisclosed location in Swindon is set to be turned into a movie set for two days in September, with Hollywood movie star Mark Lester confirmed to be attending the shoot.
The movie, Fighting Talk, with a multi-million pound budget, will also star Transporter 3 actor Silvio Simac, who will be on set for a pinnacle fight with martial artist co-star Matt Fiddes.

The cinematic release of Fighting Talk next year will see Mark Lester, 57, return to the screens in his first blockbuster movie role since Crossed Swords in 1977.

Westcountry man Matt Fiddes to star in Hollywood movie
Westcountry martial arts guru Matt Fiddes has convinced Hollywood movie star Mark Lester to return to the big screens after 35 years.
Matt will appear in the film Fighting Talk alongside Mark, who is best known for playing the title role in the 1968 musical film Oliver! and 1971 film Black Beauty.
He hung up his coat in the movie world after 25 years in the business and trained as an Osteopath.
Matt, who was a bodyguard for Michael Jackson, met Mark around 15 years ago through the singer and have been friends ever since.
The opportunity came about after Matt was spotted by movie director, Robby Haynes, in Italy earlier this year.
After a short audition, he was offered the role of Carson Baker, the forth lead role in the movie and it wasn’t long before the muscleman convinced child star Mark Lester to be in the film too.
The real life action man founded his first martial arts school in Barnstaple in 1998 when he was just 17 year old, with just £100 to his name.
Today, the entrepreneur has more than 700 worldwide, valued at a staggering £30 million.
The Matt Fiddes Martial Arts’ headquarters is based at Pottington Industrial Estate. He also owns many properties in North Devon, housing 75 people.
Publicist Daniel J Webb, at Brancaster PR, said: “I can confirm that actor Mark Lester will be returning to the big screens next year after being cast in the movie Fighting Talk.
“Matt Fiddes was asked to offer the role of Dominic Driscoll to Mark Lester by the movie director Robby Haynes earlier in the year.
“Matt and Mark have had a near 15 year friendship – and as a favour to Matt, Mark has agreed to take a small role in the film. This will be his first big screen role since 1977.”
The movie, Fighting Talk, with a multi-million pound budget, will also star Transporter 3 actor Silvio Simac, who will be on set in Swindon for a pinnacle fight with martial artist co-star Matt Fiddes in September, after requesting the chance to fight with him.
Silvio Simac has featured in some of the biggest action movies of all time, and has been on-screen with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, Jason Statham and Keanu Reeves.
