"A last word, for every fan. For everything we lived. Four amazing years, to support William. I wish him the best for the future, and for his career. I hope Ironclad will be a huge success because he really deserves it. This is not a real "goodbye" because I will always be there. Hong is running the website very good, without me. Remember one thing, keep supporting William Moseley."Even though Audrey and I never met I still consider her as a friend. We've know each other since 2005 and stayed in contact since then. I ask you guys to leave a comment for her, to thank her for helping with this site for the past few years! She deserves them! :)
A BIG-BUDGET blockbuster is due to be filmed in Swansea.
Mediaeval action thriller Ironclad, due for release next year, will see a host of Hollywood stars visit the city for filming.
Screen legend Bob Hoskins is set to direct the £20 million flick alongside Jurassic Park actor Richard Attenborough.
And Paul Giamatti, who had an Oscar nomination for his role in Cinderella Man, has been lined-up for a leading role.
Filming is set to start on October 14, with Oystermouth Castle in Mumbles chosen as one of the prime locations by bosses.
The popular tourist hotspot will be used to shoot a number of battle scenes before filming ends in December.
Sites across South Wales are also set to feature, including Caerphilly Castle. And the Dragon Studios in Bridgend are being used to film indoor scenes for what will be the venue's first-ever film shoot.
An inside source said: "To have a full-on mediaeval blockbuster shooting in Swansea is amazing news for the city.
"Lots of local actors are hoping to land fairly big parts in this, so it's likely to be a massive boost for the city and very exciting for movie fans.
"Everyone involved is really excited that Bob Hoskins and Richard Attenborough are directing."
William Mosely, who played Peter in the recent Narnia films, is on the cast list alongside Rome actor James Purefoy.
Purefoy is playing a member of the Knights Templar in the flick, which is set in the 13th Century.
His character defends Rochester Castle in the story against an army led by the ruthless King John, played by Giamatti.
Auditions for secondary roles were held in Cardiff last weekend and around 25 actors have this week been waiting for call backs.

Star of the West End hit Spring Awakening Aneurin Barnard will begin filming next month on the movie Ironclad.EDIT (September 19th): Found another new article about Ironclad but it's still not sure if William will play in the movie or not. Click here to read it.
Barnard has previously appeared on television in episodes of BBC programmes Doctors and Casualty before making his West End debut earlier this year in the rock musical Spring Awakening; based on the 1891 German play of the same title by Frank Wedekind, book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik.
A purpose built castle is being constructed for the movie when shooting begins in South Wales by director Jonathan English, with a US release due in 2010.
The storyline is based on the rebel barons of England in 1215 as they force King John to lay his royal seal to the Magna Carta, only later to renege on his word and form an army on the south coast of England. Barnard has been cast to play a young knight and begins filming in October. Other members of the cast are Paul Giamatti (The Last Station) and James Purefoy (George and the Dragon).
During 2010 Barnard will also be seen on-screen in the movie Powder playing the character Miguel. Based on the novel by Kevin Sampson and directed by Mark Elliot the film is a dark comedy about an emerging band’s experiences in the UK music scene.

CHRONICLES of Narnia star William Moseley backed a series of pioneering children's workshops.
William, from Sheepscombe, who plays Peter Pevensie, sent a personal message to inspire and support six Tewkesbury School pupils on a Performing For Success pilot project.
The Gloucestershire County Council-backed scheme aims to motivate and help primary and secondary children by using drama, animation, team games and other activities to build their confidence, self-esteem, teamwork, speaking and listening skills and problem-solving.
The six-week, after-school course, run once a week at Tewkesbury Library, was supported by The Roses theatre, who ran two sessions based on anti-bullying and raising self-esteem, and animators Cordial AV, who helped youngsters create a selection of animations.
Organiser Emma Taylor said: "William was very enthusiastic because he struggled academically and was inspired by drama.
"He couldn't be at our presentation evening but left a video message of inspiration and support.
"He named all the children, making their faces light up, and left signed pictures.
"The children all identified their own targets at the start and I built the sessions around their needs.
"They've made fantastic progress and all gained their certificates."
Emma previously worked with St Mary's Primary School and more schemes are in the pipeline.
