Anthony Hopkins is taking a step down in the world as he abandons his usual role as king and president to become a butler in his latest film.
The veteran actor, who is currently appearing in Alexander, will star alongside Morgan Freeman in Harry and the Butler, a loose remake of the 1962 Danish film Harry og Kammertjeneren.
Freeman, who hits our screens next week in the critically acclaimed Million Dollar Baby, plays a down-on-his-luck musician who was very successful but has somehow thrown it all away.
He now lives on the streets in Los Angeles but when he inherits some money he hires a butler - Hopkins - who helps him sort his life out again.
The film is to be directed by Liz Hurley's ex, Steve Bing, who is currently working on Why Men Shouldn't Marry.
