Former Bond girl Rosamund Pike has been dumped by her director fiance Joe Wright.

The pair met on the set of period drama Pride and Prejudice in 2005 and Wright proposed to the actress at Lake Como in Italy last September.

But Atonement filmmaker Wright, 36, allegedly called off the nuptials after Pike, 29, sent out hundreds of wedding invitations - featuring a steamy shot of the couple in a bathtub - without his knowledge, according to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

A source says, "The invitations featured a picture of them together in a hot tub.

"Joe dumped her for sending them without consulting him and she had to tell all the guests the wedding was off."

In the opening scenes of Jeremy Podeswa's adaptation of Anne Michaels' novel Fugitive Pieces, a young boy hides in his house in Poland in 1942, and through the cracks in the baseboard, he watches Nazis kill his parents and abduct his sister. Throughout the film, Podeswa cuts back and forth between the story of how that little boy survived the war and how as an adult (played by Stephen Dillane) he tries to make a new life for himself in Canada as an author and professor. Yet even as Dillane is living in a well-appointed home with lovely young social butterfly Rosamund Pike, he still takes a worm's-eye view of life, always peering through the cracks. By and large, Fugitive Pieces is a familiar Holocaust survivor's tale, in that it's about a group of people—Dillane and the remaining people he knows from back home—who are so scarred by their.

British actress Rosamund Pike was left depressed after shooting emotional scenes in new holocaust movie Fugitive Pieces.

The former Bond girl plays a Polish orphan who escaped the Nazis. And she admits the traumatic storyline affected her profoundly.

She says, "I woke up the next morning with my senses all jangled. If you had been through upsetting things and you act them, then your body feels them. Your chemicals get out of balance. Like they would if you had a real fight or break up with a lover."

British actor Orlando Bloom has upset movie bosses on his latest film An Education - after he pulled out of the project just days before it began shooting.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star was signed to star in the film - which was penned by oft-adapted British novelist Nick Hornby - but had to cancel because of last minute schedule clashes.

The 30-year-old hunk has been replaced by Dominic Cooper - a relative unknown British actor who starred in the 2006 big screen adaptation of Alan Bennett's play The History Boys.

Producers had to act quickly to find a replacement for Bloom after shooting began last week on the movie (begs10Mar08).

Cooper will play a thirtysomething playboy in the coming-of-age drama who turns the life of a 17-year-old girl upside down in early-1960s London.

He joins a cast boasting a host of beloved British actors, including Emma Thompson, Peter Sarsgaard, Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina and Rosamund Pike.
