Elizabeth Hurley has continued her foray into thrillers as she celebrated the premiere of Strictly Confidential this week. The English actor and model gathered with friends, family, and the media for a special screening of the racy tropical thriller. After 2023’s The Piper, the 58-year-old was ready to star in another scary flick — this time with the help of her son, 22-year-old Damian Hurley.

The mother and son’s first joint film project screened in London on May 8, 2024. Elizabeth was happy to support Damian’s first go at directing in the form of a starring role. Despite backlash over her steamy lesbian sex scenes, the Bedazzled actor seemed unbothered in Chelsea at The Everyman Cinema.

Actress Georgia Lock reflected on her time on the set of the film Strictly Confidential in her new uInterview.

Directed by Damian Hurley, Strictly Confidential follows a young woman who can’t accept that her best friend killed herself as she journies back to a Caribbean island to investigate her death.

“Honestly, it was an honor,” she told uInterview founder Erik Meers of working with Hurley. “This film is special to me for a lot of reasons, but I met Damian through this project, and he’s become a very close friend of mine. I’m extremely fond of him.”

“What I love about how he directs is that you can see he is thinking about how beautiful the shot is going to look,” she continued. “He’s considered that. I feel like you could pause this movie anywhere, and it would be a beautiful scene that you could paint.

Actress Elizabeth Hurley has working in the industry since the late 1980s. Initially gaining notoriety as High Grant’s girlfriend, Hurley soon found herself in the spotlight with movies like Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) and Bedazzled (2000). She was also seen in TV shows like Gossip Girl and The Royals.

Hurley is mother to model and actor Damian Hurley, whom she had after a brief affair with American businessman Steve Bing.

Her son, 22, is now dipping his toes in the directing pool with his debut movie, Strictly Confidential, starring his mother in the lead. The movie was released earlier this month, but it was years before now, that the Hollywood virus entered Damian.

“Some secrets are meant to stay buried” says the ad line for “Strictly Confidential.” But you’d need a sizable underground bunker to contain all the effortfully shocking revelations sprung in this very silly sudser, which starts out looking like an erotic thriller-mystery, then descends into a series of flashback-laden explication monologues more apt for “Dynasty” than Agatha Christie.

Damian Hurley’s directorial feature, with famous mum Elizabeth top-billed and producing, provides several hardbodied younger performers opportunity to model clothes and approximate recognizable human emotions on the coastline of tax haven island nation Saint Kitts and Nevis. But what was likely an enjoyable working Caribbean vacation for cast and crew proves somewhat labored for viewers. Nonetheless, watched in the right spirit, with appropriate libations, it could prove quite entertaining … if not in the way presumably intended. Lionsgate is releasing to U.S. theaters, digital and on-demand platforms on April 5.

New rule: you are not allowed to define yourself as a female-led film if you are using the females in your film to make young women feel shite about themselves. If the females leading your film are Trojan horses for an army of innuendo, slut-shaming and fat jokes they can do one.

The average UK dress size is 16, meaning that a number of the intended audience for British rom-com Me, Myself and Di will be curvy like its protagonist Janet. Janet loves ‘80s music, her Bhangra class and Heat magazine, she’s a happy soul who is content with her lot despite daydreams of finding her soulmate. It seems odd then that Me, Myself and Di devotes so much runtime to tearing Janet down.

The kids’ broadcasters will roll out Sadie Sparks in 2019.

Georgia Lock will return in the lead role of the feisty 13 year old making her way in a male-dominated world.

There are some new characters coming in to the show and casting director Kerrie Mailey is currently looking for suggestions for the following:

Taylor, male, aged 14

(Especially looking for ethnic suggestions for this role)

Meet Taylor Bell - a drop dead gorgeous surfer dude. Taylor’s got the looks of

Justin Bieber and the clumsiness of a young Frank Spencer.

Ashlii, female, aged 14

(Again especially looking for ethnic suggestions)

Essex born Ashlii is part fairy princess, part pit-bull. When Ashlii grows up she’s going to be Amy Childs (from The Only Way is Essex). Stylish, switched on, gorgeous and a supreme social networker (her smart phone is Never off).
