Cast and characters

The casting of Hugh Bonneville, Tim McInnerny, Gina McKee, Emma Chambers and Rhys Ifans as Will's group of friends was "rather like assembling a family". Michell explained that "When you are casting a cabal of friends, you have to cast a balance of qualities, of types and of sensibilities. They were the jigsaw that had to be put together all in one go, and I think we've got a very good variety of people who can realistically still live in the same world. "[1]

Alec Baldwin makes an uncredited appearance as Anna's American boyfriend. Alexander Rae "Alec" Baldwin III (born April 3 1958 is an Academy Award -nominated and Emmy - and Golden Globe Award -winning American [3] Sanjeev Bhaskar has a cameo role as one of the loud and offensive men in the restaurant Anna and Will attend.

— Richard Curtis[6]

Richard Curtis developed the idea for the film from thoughts he had, whilst lying awake at night. He described the starting point for the plot as "the idea of a very normal person going out with an unbelievably famous person and how that impinges on their lives". [6] Four Weddings and a Funeral director Mike Newell was approached for the film, but rejected it to work on Pushing Tin instead. Michael Cormac Newell (born 28 March 1942 is an English director and producer of motion pictures for the screen and for Television. Pushing Tin is a 1999 comedy Drama film directed by Mike Newell. He did later admit that in commercial terms he had made the wrong decision, but did not regret it. [7] The film's producer Duncan Kenworthy then turned to Roger Michell, stating that "Finding someone as good as Roger, was just like finding the right actor to play each role. Roger shone out. "[1]

Much of the filming took place on Portobello Road.
Much of the filming took place on Portobello Road. Portobello Road is a road in the Notting Hill district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in west London, England.

Curtis chose the setting of Notting Hill for the film as he lived there and knew the area well, stating "Notting Hill is a melting pot and the perfect place to set a film". [8] This left the producers with a challenge of having to film in a heavily populated area. Kenworthy noted "Early on, we toyed with the idea of building a huge exterior set. That way we would have more control, because we were worried about having Roberts and Grant on public streets where we could get thousands of onlookers. " In the end they decided to take the risk anyway and film in the actual streets. [8] Michell was worried "that Hugh and Julia were going to turn up on the first day of shooting on Portobello Road, and there would be gridlock and we would be surrounded by thousands of people and paparazzi photographers who would prevent us from shooting". The location team, and security forces prevented this, as well as preventing problems the presence of a film crew may have caused the residents of Notting Hill, who Michell believes were "genuinely excited" about the film. [8] The film's location manager Sue Quinn described her job of finding suitable locations and getting permission to film there as "a mammoth task". [8] Quinn and the rest of her location team had to send letters to thousands of people in the area, promising that they would donate to each person's favourite charity, resulting in over two hundred different charities receiving money from the film project. [8]

"The major problem we encountered was the size of our film unit. We couldn't just go in and shoot and come out. We were everywhere. Filming on the London streets has to be done in such a way that it comes up to health and safety standards. There is no such thing as a road closure. We were very lucky in the fact that we had 100% cooperation from the police and the Council. They looked favorably on what we were trying to do and how it would promote the area. "
