World War Z filmed in Glasgow

Parts of Glasgow are turned into war-torn ruins as filming for a new Hollywood blockbuster gets under way.

 

World War Z is a post-apocalyptic zombie movie starring Brad Pitt.

 

A cast and crew of about 1,200 people will be involved in shooting scenes in George Square and other city centre locations.

 

Although shot in Glasgow, the film is set in Philadelphia, so false shop fronts will be brought in and American cars will take to the city's streets.

 

Glasgow City Council said the positive impact of the production on the local economy is likely to be in excess of £2m.
