Glasgow To Be Turned Into War-Torn Wasteland.

[Henry]

Parts of Glasgow are being turned into war-torn ruins for the next two weeks 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.

 

An open casting was held last month to recruit local people to star as zombie extras.

 

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 impact of the production on the local economy is likely to be in excess of

Eh guess wi a cast and crew of 1200, they've no much money left for making an artificial wasteland....

Should be a fairly seamless transition, don't imagine much by way of props will be required, the bit behind Parkhead looks like pre-war Poland anyway, and the inhabitants look like they're full of ricketts, polio, TB and the plague, like the living f**king dead, making them perfect background actors for the ration-less zombies they will be required to portray.

 

Top up their broo money too.

Is there a punchline to this?

No. Just curious as to why you thought Pre War Poland was a good comparison when clearly post war Poland was a bigger sh*t tip and more comparable to Parkhead.

Well Parkhead hasna been razed to the ground but it certainly has that 1920's pre-fabricated chic to it.

Doomsday was a good film, alan partridge would've liked it, malcolm macdowell was in it.

 

it was set in glaesga for a while, a wee chase through queen street!

Should be a major improvement.

A minor improvement, I'd say.
