Amanda would not say the name of the film, but it is understood that the film is Pan - which is currently being filmed at nearby Leavesden Studios.
The boys were selected by the film’s casting agent while they were performing in a show at Berkhamsted Civic Centre in March.
The movie - which tells the tale of Peter Pan - is due out in the UK on July 17, 2015.
