The brother of the man who led the attack on the village – Thomas Kingsmill – is buried beneath a skull-and-crossbones tombstone in Goudhurst churchyard.
Mr Bone said: “Goudhurst today is just as cosy as it always was, which makes it a perfect place to film old scenes in because it's hardly changed.
“Although the film is about radicalism, it's also a comedy too and I hope it will be a great success. Hopefully it will also encourage more people to visit the village.”
The Class War anarchist group advocated violent revolution through its newspaper of the same name. It was active through most of the 1980s and 90s and organised a number of 'Bash the Rich' events.
Its paper regularly featured pictures of injured policemen, and a early cover ran the headline 'We have found new homes for the rich' over a cemetery.
Despite no longer being heavily involved with the Class War group, Mr Bone still finds time to ruffle some feathers.
Last month he joined anarchists outside the Greek embassy in London protesting about growing unrest back home, while he is also planning his own special greeting for Barack Obama when the US President-elect visits the UK for the first time in April.
Mr Bone said: “I've not mellowed and I haven't grown old gracefully. I'm still stuck in a 1960s time warp.”
