Chloe Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale tried to keep warm on the chilly Dublin set of their new feature film Love and Friendship.

Chloe Sevigny, Kate Beckinsale Filming

In between takes, Sevigny and Beckinsale bundled up against the cold, wearing coats over their period costume dresses. Beckinsale, with her coat wrapped around her shoulders, was also holding a hot water bottle to her torso. Beckinsale’s costume included a black, wide-brimmed hat, while Sevigny donned a more jaunty, burgundy piece of headwear.

Love and Friendship is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1871 short novel titled Lady Susan that was originally published in 1871. Set in the 1790s, it tells the story of a widow plagued by rumors who seeks refuge at a family estate.

Beckinsale is playing the titular Lady Susan Vernon, while Sevigny is playing her trusted confident and friend Alicia.

Also in the cast are Stephen Fry, Xavier Samuel and Morfydd Clark.

Filmmaker Whit Stillman (Last Days Of Disco, Damsel In Distress) adapted the screenplay and is directing the picture.
