Lassie is a film star considered so American that her portrait hangs in the MGM studio's hall of fame and her paw prints are cast indelibly in the pavement of Sunset Boulevard.

But her new and latest film is being made in Ireland and the Isle of Man, with a little bit of the highlands of Scotland in for good measure.

The film is a joint Anglo-Irish pruduction featuring Peter O'Toole, Gregor Fisher and Samantha Morton. It is hoped that the film will be released by Christmas.
