The legendary Joan Collins is currently in the Czech Republic shooting her latest movie, the Agatha Christie-like mystery Murder Between Friends. The 90-year-old star also shared some behind-the-scenes looks at the new project, along with her travels in the Czech capital, to her official Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Prague production on Murder Between Friends began on April 1 and is slated to run through next week, but judging by Collins’ latest Instagram post the star may have wrapped her scenes as of today.
“Thank you to the cast and crew of Murder Between Friends for a great shoot in Prague,” Collins writes alongside a group photo posted on Friday morning.
Murder Between Friends stars Collins as Francesca Carlyle, star of a hit true crime TV series who becomes embroiled in a real-life murder mystery at her country estate. The Czech location utilized as that estate has not been revealed, but eagle-eyed locals may be able to recognize it from the star’s posts.
Alongside Collins, Murder Between Friends also stars Jacob Young, best known for long-running roles on The Bold and the Beautiful and All My Children, who also co-directs with Trent Garrett from a screenplay by Mark Rozzano. Nadia Bjorlin, Toby Alexander Smith, Jim Borstelmann, Instagram influencer Espen Hatleskog, and Czech actress Hana Vagnerová also feature in the cast.
Star Collins has been updating fans on the production of Murder Between Friends through social media, and also charting her journey in Prague. Earlier this week, she shared a video from a restaurant on the banks of the Vltava River (likely Kampa Park) and drew attention to the local fauna.
“Here we are in this beautiful restaurant in Prague and it’s a gorgeous early spring day,” Collins says in the video. “And there is a beaver in the water! You don’t see that very often.”
Local fans were quick to point out that the animal in question wasn’t a beaver, but the similarly-looking nutria, an invasive species in Prague’s waterways.
Collins, who will turn 91 years old next month, is regularly active on social media, and her accounts are well worth following. Before heading to Prague, she stopped in London to have dinner with Michael Caine and family.
