The Weinstein Company

Director Jonno shares (safe for work!) pictures of his adult film shot on The King's Speech set, as was the Amy Winehouse video "Rehab."

Is that a microphone, or are Jonno's porn stars just glad to anticipate Colin Firth's bout with Geoffrey Rush in these scenes from his film Snookered, shot 15 months before the Oscar-dominating movie? Those scuzzy walls also served Amy Winehouse in her video for "Rehab," in which her resistance to therapy is more obdurate than King Bertie's. Has alleged King's Speech fan Queen Elizabeth seen this? Perhaps this calls for a highly specialized film festival of gripping dramas shot at London's 33 Portland Place.
