She slung a black canvas bag full of her essentials over her shoulder while walking along and chatting to her co-star Josh Hutcherson.

Matila appeared almost ready to take on her character – Italian contessa Renata – judging by her brunette locks which were pin curled and her glam make-up.

Meanwhile, Liev cut a dapper figure in a khaki military uniform as he waved joyfully on the back of the wooden river taxi.

He covered his character’s uniform with a hooded coat to stay warm in the chilly climes between takes.

The breathtaking buildings and bridges of the city provided a dramatic backdrop as the stars got into character for the cameras.

In the film, Matilda plays an 18-year-old Italian contessa called Renata. Liev’s character Colonel Richard Cantwell falls in love with her.

Set in post WW2 Venice, US Army Col. Cantwell, haunted by the war, is a hero who faces news of his illness with stoic disregard. 

Determined to spend a weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver to facilitate a visit to some of his old haunts in Venice.

As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman begins to rekindle in him the hope of renewal.

Based on the last full-length novel by Hemingway, the movie captures a fleeting moment of immortality where time stands still. 

Four years ago The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Pierce Brosnan would play the lead role with his GoldenEye director Martin Campbell at the helm.

However the current director is Spanish filmmaker Paula Ortiz and this September it emerged in Deadline that Liev is playing the colonel.
