Notable actress Lily-Rose Depp has been spotted in Bourne Woods, near Farnham, where she is shooting scenes for the movie set in medieval Britain. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Robert Eggers, known for his work on Nosferatu, the film also features renowned actors Willem Dafoe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
