James Mangold was pictured in Glasgow as the city streets were transformed into the US for what is thought to be Harrison Ford’s fifth outing as Indy.
The director of the latest Indiana Jones instalment has been pictured visiting Glasgow ahead of filming in the city centre.
Parts of the Scottish city have been transformed into the United States for what is thought to be the fifth movie in the franchise starring Harrison Ford.
Flags with the stars and stripes adorned some streets along with signs saying “Welcome to New York Astronauts!” and other references to Apollo 11 – suggesting part of the film could be set in 1969.
At a Govan car park near Ibrox Stadium, rehearsals were taking place with a parade of vehicles – again featuring Apollo 11 references.
Vintage American cars could be seen alongside floats, with a moon-like object on one and a beauty pageant on another.
James Mangold – director of Logan, The Greatest Showman and the currently untitled fifth Indiana Jones film – was pictured in Glasgow on Tuesday alongside other crew members.
While some set features started appearing a week ago, filming could take place for another few weeks with a range of road closures listed on Glasgow City Council’s website.
Vehicles will not be able to wait, load or unload – or even move – on other dates along St Vincent Street, Hope Street, West Nile Street and Wellington Street among others.
Filming will move along to the Trongate, Montrose Street, Bothwell Street and Blythswood Street as the month goes on.
A full list of streets and timings can be found on the Glasgow City Council website: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/19741/Event-Road-Restrictions.
Other productions to have filmed in Glasgow in recent years include Fast And Furious: Hobbs And Shaw, The Batman, Tetris and 1917.
