Work on John Cusack's new film War Inc already began in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv.

War Inc is the newest production of Nu Image, the company that received ownership over Bulgaria's Boyana Film Studios.

The set is positioned at Trimontium Hotel, Focus news agency reported.

Cusack directs the movie and also stars in it alongside Hilary Duff.

Trimontium Hotel changed its name to Freedom Grand Hotel for the movie. Work on the movie in Plovdiv would continue for four days, after which the set would be moved to Boyana Film Studios in Sofia.

Previously Nu Image director David Varod said that four high-budget films would be shot in Bulgaria in 2007.

Among the actors expected to visit the country to take part in such productions were Morgan Freeman and Scarlet Johanson, Varod said.
