Baron Cohen's wife Isla Fisher joined up earlier this month, adding to stars including Ian McShane, David Harewood, Annabelle Wallis, Johnny Vegas and Oscar-nominated Gabourey Sidibe. Shooting recently began, although location details have yet to be announced. However, it is thought part of the film could be shot in the local area. Although Paramount Pictures has helped develop Grimsby, earlier this year it was moved to Sony, which will have the worldwide rights to the movie.
