:
Sir
Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott), though aristocratic by
birth, commanded the
Parliamentary
armies during
the English Civil Wars. In the aftermath of years of bloodshed
and chaos, Fairfax found himself increasingly stranded between
his loyalty to the revolutionary cause of his comrade Oliver
Cromwell (Tim Roth) and the loyalty he owed to his wife Lady
Anne (Olivia Williams) and their shared class. Cromwell’s
determination to change the face of English society led directly
to the Execution of King Charles I – an act of treachery
that Fairfax was unable to condone. (More

I've been receiving a lot of pics of
Dougray Scott and information on his role in Cromwell and
Fairfax, but not a lot to do with Tim Roth who plays Oliver
Cromwell in the film. Tim-Roth.com
have been sent a few pics of Roth on set, probably by the
same scooper who provided us with the first look at Scott
as Fairfaz, and you can check them out by clicking

'Mr Gray' sent us in this exclusive
set pic from Cromwell and Fairfax, now shooting. The film,
starring Tim Roth opposite Dougray Scott has recently
been filming in the Fellow's Garden of Exeter college
in Oxford, England. Mr Gray informs us that the production
is almost complete and the VFX people have begun to shoot
extra
footage
for thier purposes. '[the] Hampton Court Palace is very pissed
because we pulled up all the grass in the court yard! Backing
looks to be in place once more and all looks OK'.
Thanks
to Mr Gray, and click on the image to enlarge.

It seems that Jeremy Thomas, the producer
of such movies as Sexy Beast, Brother and the upcoming Young
Adam has rescued Cromwell and Fairfax by putting together
a distribution deal to allow the film to continue shooting.
The movie, starring Dougray Scott opposite Tim Roth resumed
filming last week.
(thanks to Josie for the information).
