Sussex-based comic Steve Coogan is packing his case for his biggest role yet - as globetrotting adventurer Phileas Fogg.
The comedian, who has lived in Hove for the past five years, will spend five months shooting the Hollywood production of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days.
Steve said he was looking forward to filming and added: "I play Phileas Fogg and I have Jackie Chan as my assistant.
"It has a $100 million budget but I won't actually be going right around the world.
"It will be filmed in Thailand and Berlin. All the hot places like India will be shot in Thailand with Berlin substituting for all the cold places like London and Paris.
"Parts of Berlin look a lot like old London and they will add landmarks like Big Ben with computers."
