The hunky Luther actor has started filming alongside Gemma Arterton for a new drama called A Hundred Streets, which is about four people with interlocking stories that are all lived out within a square mile in London.

They play an estranged married couple with Elba taking the role of Max, a former rugby superstar whose life is unravelling on the celebrity circuit.

Meanwhile, Arterton, plays Emma, who has a chance of sorting out Max’s life if she can get her own back on track in the film.

Described as a “layered and gripping drama”, the movie is said to have a nod towards Oscar-winning film Crash, which was released in 2006.

The pair were seen on set spending time with their on-screen daughter and son in a park in the capital, earlier on today.

Idris, who became a father for a second time to his son Winston in April, was dressed casually in a long sleeved dark green T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

Meanwhile, his 28-year-old co-star looked sophisticated in a beige blazer which she teamed with a blue T-shirt.

The former Bond girl completed her look with jeans and opted for comfort in black quilted ballet pumps.

Other characters in the anticipated project include Adam Bakri, who has joined the cast as a rich playboy who gets more than he bargained for when a beautiful ex-girlfriend re-enters his life.

Edge Of Tomorrow star Franz Drameh plays a small time drug dealer who strikes up an unlikely friendship with an ageing actor.

A Hundred Streets is being directed by Jim O’Hanlon who has worked on House Of Saddam for the BBC, as well as Sky’s detective spoof A Touch Of Cloth.
