Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has attracted the fury of residents of a British village, who are accusing him of disrupting their lives while shooting for his new film War Horse.

The Jurassic Park director is busy filming the movie - adapted from a play about a young man who joins the cavalry in a bid to save his beloved horse - in picturesque Castle Combe, Wiltshire.

While Spielberg has reimbursed residents whose homes are being used in the movie, the people are fed up with the project's lengthy schedule and the tight security, reports torontosun.com.

"It makes me so angry that I can't even take my car out of my drive. The level of security is ridiculous. I'm ready for them to leave now," said a villager.
