Ditto.....it was in the Media..i think it was the Daily Record. They wanted people with armed/emergency services experience which i have so i was going to a soldier. I think it was £120.00 a day i cant remember and i cry when i think about it....like you i would do it for free. maybe i might stagger onto the set after a night on the town....no Zombie make up would be required. I could drool on cue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfbabe Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 it would be pretty cool if Brad pitt Popped In to collectormania, I heard he was thinking about it but decided not to 'cos none of his friends wanted to go and he didn't want to go on his own. Apparently he's quite shy around people he doesn't know and he was worried he might get a bit starstruck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 hes gona be in glasgow next week for two weeks filming his new zombie movie. Some pictures (of Glasgow being transformed, not of Depp) here Given the report that "Parts of Glasgow are being turned into war-torn ruins", I had expected some wisecracks about that not being hard (or waiting for the next Old Firm game) - but apparently the real reason is "because of its architecture, wide roads and grid layout".

Guest anniekins Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 From what I have heard you should be able to see him around Glasgow from next week....Don't know when but I will be looking around then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxy-Song Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I heard they are filming in Govan this week. I don't know if Pitt will be there but I would take a stoat down just to see some being filmed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraserscotland Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 My partner is a supporting artist in the film (political correctness term ) and she's being paid £130 a day, minus 15% from the casting agency and then TAX on top of that. They have set up George Square to look like Philadelphia and Brad Pitt is in Glasgow now with his entire family. I'll post pics later as I'm going to the set today.

Goodie586 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Popped along to the World War Z set today. The road is full of yellow taxi cabs, US Police cars and fire trucks however the masses were kept well away from the action and all the filming is behind black canvas to prevent us great unwashed from seeing. It has taken over alot of the streets thou and its weird to see American flags flying etc.....good to see such a big production here lets hope it attracts more. The last time i saw a movie being filmed in George Square it was Charlie Sheen running about for the film Postmortem now that was cool as you could see it all. The film is a bit poo thou but you gotta love Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cultman1 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 is this going to cause massive traffic chaos for those driving up from the south to stay in Glasgow city Centre? We are staying in the City Centre at a hotel near the Botanical Gardens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrelli. Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Apparently they're filming at an old supermarket just up the street from me. I used to shop there all the time until it closed. Is kinda weird that Brad Pitt will be in there kickin' zombie ass. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Botanical Gardens are no where near George Square and it is only effecting traffic in the immediate area. All will be well for your trip. I think the shoot in George Square will be complete by the con anyway. Hope you have a safe journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraserscotland Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The filming is going until August 28th :) Apparently The Dark Knight Rises is coming here too later on in the year. It's all go for us! Here are some photos from George Square today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodie586 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Good pics mate. Filming is going onto 28th but they are moving to Grangemouth and the like before that i think it will be all over in Glasgow in the next few days. The evacuation scenes are being filmed on a main road in grangemouth and also scenes in the old kwik save on Paisley Road West.... Dark Knight rises has already filmed on the A9 a second unit stunt scene although i did hear that they were also going to shoot in Glasgow but Cleavland USA managed to meet all their needs...booo On the plus side Tim Burtons Dark Shadows with Johhny Depp is fiming in Scotland at the moment.... Its a really cool time for us geeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraserscotland Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 All cool photos :) I spoke to a local crew member yesterday and he said the Dark Knight is filming at the Barras later on the year, so we'll just have to wait and see. I wish I could get a job on these shoots - I am local and made my very own feature film! Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anniekins Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Very good! Looks exciting! More pictrures! More pictures! Anyone seen Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmcell Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) How cool does this sound. The morning's shooting was low-key, with Pitt spending much of it being filmed sitting in a silver Volvo car on Cochrane Street - which has been transformed to look like downtown Philadelphia and packed with American cars and vans - before retreating to his white trailer on John Street for much of the afternoon. This caused a crowd to gather at the top of street, as onlookers armed with cameras hoped to catch him as he emerged for another scene. Instead they had to settle for the actor's body double walking back and forth from the set. By early afternoon, the production stepped up a gear and the spectators were given a real taste of Hollywood action excitement. A shout of "action" prompted two US motorcycle police officers to come tearing up the busy street, sirens screaming, towards George Square, forcing the on-set traffic to swerve out of the way. From behind them a loud explosion detonated out of sight, causing the dozens of extras walking along the street to turn and stampede from the blast. The explosion scene was the repeatedly played out, sometimes without the police officers, sometimes with only a small section of the crowd, but the spectators lapped up the action, with one woman enthusiastically commenting to her friends: "This is mental!" The film is based on Max Brooks' 2006 novel World War Z: An Oral History Of The Zombie War, part of which is set in Philadelphia in the aftermath of a zombie holocaust. It is due to be released next year. Even when shooting stopped, people remained in the square, wandering around and examining its new appearance - hot dog and pretzel stalls, the rebranding of the City Chambers as the five star "Liberty Grand Luxury Hotel" and the clusters of road signs, fire hydrants and newspaper vending machines waiting to be put in place. I was down the set today and took some more photos. Edited August 19, 2011 by filmcell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
