Filipino actress Lovi Poe will act in her biggest English-language movie, ‘Chelsea Cowboy’ to play the role of British blues singer Dana Gillespie.
Dana was known for her close personal ties to leading singers and actors. A recent biography notes that her lovers included David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Michael Caine, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon and Sean Connery.
‘Chelsea Cowboy’ is the story of underworld hard-man turned actor John Bindon, who was unable to leave his criminal past behind despite his successful acting career.
The film script is by Leon Butler (100 Streets) and the shooting is set to commence in late September 2021 and executive producers include Idris Elba and Victor Glynn.
Producers are Life Begins and GCB Films, alongside Pettyfer (who plays Bindon) and James Ireland’s production company Dark Dreams Entertainment.
Actress, singer, and model Poe has released two studio albums to date and multiple singles and is known in the Philippines for playing the roles of Kristal Maisog in the 2006 series Bakekang and Shiela Real in the 2014 drama series Ang Dalawang Mrs Real. (AW)
