Cate Blanchett looks almost unrecognizable in these world exclusive photos taken while filming in Dublin yesterday afternoon.
Two-time Oscar winner Kate, 54, wore a wig and glasses as her character spoke on a mobile phone in a 1997 metallic blue Toyota Corolla parked in Stoneybatter, north inner city. I was photographed where I was.
Kagemusha were stationed nearby, as were crew members and security guards flanking the scene.
This is believed to be the first time in 22 years that an Australian has filmed in Ireland, having previously filmed Veronica Guerin here.
The film, about the murdered Sunday Independent reporter, also starred Ciaran Hinds, Brenda Fricker and a young Colin Farrell.
When the acclaimed film about the crusading investigative reporter was released in 2003, Kate attended the gala premiere at Dublin Castle.

Her latest film, to be filmed in Ireland, is thought to be titled Father, Mother, Sister, Brother.
Directed by legendary American indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.
Scenes for the film have already been shot in New Jersey, with plans to move to Paris as soon as filming is finished here.
Blanchett won the 2013 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in 2012’s Blue Jasmine.
She last worked with Jarmusch in the 2003 anthology Coffee and Cigarettes, in which she played two roles (one of which was herself).
Little has been revealed about their latest collaboration, but Jarmusch, 70, described it as a “funny and sad movie.”
Kate, a mother of four, won her first Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2004 for her role as Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator.
She recently finished filming Rumors in Hungary, co-starring Charles Dance and Alicia Vikander.
It’s a story about the leaders of the seven countries that make up the G7, who gather for an annual summit, but get lost in the woods and still have to craft a statement addressing a global crisis.
