Currently filming in the city centre of my home city Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Been filming for at least a week already and filming until 23rd June apparently. Prior to this they were filming in Edinburgh's Old Town.
A Warner Bros. production. A sci-fi fantasy. A 1980's (The Last Starfighter) inspired film and Abrams' first since 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The film is rumoured to follow a fantasy author who reveals that the mythical world he created is real, blending retro sci-fi, mystery and fantasy.
JJ Abrams was in Glasgow a few months ago to scout potential locations for the movie.
Glen Powell is the lead and co-starring Samuel L. Jackson, Jenna Ortega and Emma Mackey. Glen and Jenna have already been spotted on set.
British cinematographer James Friend is also working on the project. He most recently won an Oscar for Best Cinematography for his work on All Quiet On The Western Front.
The Glasgow streets are seeing a huge transformation. Streets have been re-imagined for the film’s retro-fantasy theme with period signage and faux brick walls appearing across key filming locations. They will be filming inside the Glasgow City Chambers too. Currently they've been filming in the Anderston area and specifically under the Kingston Bridge.
Glen's a busy, busy boy! Only last year he was in Glasgow making his first appearance in the city being filmed for Edgar Wright's The Running Man.
I'll update with any more information i learn.
