Quentin Tarantino's surprise turn as an actor opposite Kylie Minogue, filmed in Wales, has drawn attention as an unexpected twist in the director's career and a high-profile boost for the location.

Shooting in Wales also shines a light on the country's growing reputation as a destination for major productions.
What happens next
Further details of the project and Tarantino's role are likely to fuel speculation, with the Welsh setting set to feature prominently in coverage.
