Gerard Butler arrived in Belgrade yesterday morning and today he will join the crew of Coriolanus, a film in which he stars opposite Ralph Fiennes.
Gerry's arrival had been planned for an earlier time, but had been delayed a few times due to the air traffic chaos caused by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. After changing flights twice, Butler has managed to find his way through to Belgrade.
During his stay, Gerry will reside in Belgrade’s Hyatt Hotel, in a luxurious, fully-equipped penthouse. The actor is scheduled to stay in Serbia until the end of the week, shooting his scenes from Coriolanus, and playing the role of Tullus Aufidius, the commander of the Volscian army and sworn enemy of main character Coriolanus, portrayed by director Ralph Fiennes himself.
