FILM crews have been dispatched to the Somerset Levels to shoot The Hatching, a British comedy crocodile-horror movie, this week.

Primeval’s Andrew Lee-Potts is starring alongside Laura Aikman (Casualty, Not Going Out) as the leads, while Bristolian Justin Lee-Collins is taking a supporting role.

What’s more, they’re inviting film lovers to volunteer as extras for the film – from zookeepers and villagers to pub-drinkers – for token expenses.

Between 60 and 70 background extras are needed for stints of filming from now until Saturday, December 7.
