GLASGWEGIANS are becoming used to major film productions heading to their city – but the magic won't have worn off yet.
A new spin-off of the Fast and the Furious, starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jason Statham, will be filming there this month.
You'll be able to find the stars on city centre streets including George Square, Ingram Street and St Vincent Street.
And with a secondary film unit of 200 crew, it'll bring a big boost to the local economy.
Residents and businesses are being given information on the production, with some road closures set to be in place.
So, where and when will filming be taking place?
- Wednesday 24th October – John Street, George Street, Cochrane Street, Ingram Street
- Thursday 25th October – John Street, George Street, Cochrane Street, Ingram Street
- Friday 26th October – Junction of South Frederick Street, George Square and Cochrane Street
- Saturday 27th October – Under M8 and footbridge
- Sunday 28th October – From Montrose Street to West Campbell Street
Councillor David McDonald, depute Leader of Glasgow City Council, said: “We will soon welcome this film shoot to the city centre, testament to the continued pulling power of Glasgow in attracting major productions. Council officers are working closely with the production to make sure that filming goes as smoothly as possible while minimising any impact on the daily life of residents and businesses.
"This will be a spectacular production that showcases Glasgow as a fantastic filming location.”
The Glasgow Film Office, which works to attract productions to the city, has generated around £300 million for the city's economy since it was established in 1997.
Films which have been shot in Glasgow include World War Z, Fast & Furious 6, Outlaw King and The Wife, and television productions to do so include Outlander, Shetland and The Cry.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
