Greeted by a sunny morning, Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem continued to film Eat, Pray, Love on location in the mountain town of Ubud, Bali today (November 6).

The two Oscar-winning actors looked to be getting dirty as they were on some kind of hike before arriving on set to begin production of the highly-anticipated film adaptation of the 2006 memoir by American author and memoirist Elizabeth Gilbert.

Meanwhile, Julia’s production company Red Om Films has acquired screen rights to the nonfiction book In the Neighborhood by Peter Lovenheim.

In the book, set to be published early next year, the author makes an effort to get to know his neighbours better by asking if he can come to their homes for sleepovers. His hope is to find something more than the feeling of strangers living with strangers in modern suburbia.
