STORY: Hollywood stars Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman appeared in Edinburgh on Friday (April 27) as they prepared to start filming their new movie "The Railway Man" in the city. Kidman said she was hugely drawn to the real-life drama in the script and is looking forward to the shoot. Firth plays Scotsman Eric Lomax, one of thousands of Allied prisoners of war forced to work on the construction of the Thai/Burma railway during the World War II. Years later, still haunted by memories of the torture and brutality he endured, he meets the beautiful Patti, played by Kidman, who tries to help him.
