it's from an adaptation of Joan Collins book..... a Tesco movie, film-making with a straight-to-DVD movie...Charles is Aleksandr Borinski, a Russian oligarch....
........
journalist Madison Castelli (Nicole Steinwedell) — is about to learn this lesson and many more.When a stunning young model featured in her last expose is brutally murdered at the beginning of Paris fashion week, Madison senses that this may be more than a ‘crime of passion’. She follows her story to Paris, where she crosses paths with the sexily brooding photographer Jake Sica (Anthony Delon).Immersed in the luxurious world of TV mega star and aspiring fashion designer Coco de Ville (Hudson Leick) and her adoring Russian oligarch Aleksandr Borinski (British icon Charles Dance), Madison must negotiate a series of suspicious characters to get her exclusive.But when the bodies start piling up, Madison must do everything she can…

but Styler is, as one senior member of the crew tells me, "incredibly shy of the press. They beat her up for some reason." Dance, who arches his eyebrows and grimaces affectionately at his co-stars between takes, is loyal. "She's terrific, is Trudie. She's a force to be reckoned with. She's no slouch as an actress and she involves herself in so many things."
....
Is there suspicion, I ask Dance, because people assume the actors will be slipping in lines like "Every little helps" or quaffing Tesco champagne on camera? "I don't know that there is suspicion, but there is a gnashing of teeth and thinking, 'God, why didn't I think of that?' going on around the business," he says. "Jackie Collins has been hugely prolific, I mean, God almighty, and she has an enormous readership. If this scheme," he says, sounding as though he is picking up the word with tweezers, "allows films to be made from her books and to be available on the supermarket shelf, it is all to the good. We provide entertainment, and they are entertaining, if nothing else."
....
When not playing Russian fashion moguls, does he shop in Tesco? "Sometimes," says Dance unconvincingly. Will he be buying this DVD? "Well, I hope I have a year's free groceries." He laughs. Have you got a contract with special Tesco deals? "No, that's a joke. Worth a try, though, isn't it ? A delivery of organic vegetables would be great, I'd love that."
.....
Dance admires the "simple and brilliant" straight-to-the-supermarket idea, cutting out film distributors, sales agents and cinemas. He is currently struggling to find funds for his own second film. "Now is not the time to go around asking people to lend you a couple of million quid with no guarantee of getting a penny of it back, but that's the way films are made." Is he tempted to knock on the door of Mr Asda or MrMorrisons? "No, but I think I shall knock on the door of Mr Tesco and ask if he's interested in something else, oh yes, absolutely. It wouldn't surprise me if Waitrose or Asda or Sainsbury's started thinking about Waitrose Pictures or something."
