Glen Powell films stunt in Glasgow as shooting for Hollywood blockbuster continues

Hollywood star Glen Powell has been spotted filming a bus stunt scene in Glasgow as shooting for JJ Abrams’ latest blockbuster continues across the city.

The Twisters star was seen jumping and landing on the ground as he chased a girl in orange while filming for the epic American fantasy titled Ghostwriter.

Filming started in Glasgow on Saturday after principal photography began in London on April 26. The crew previously filmed scenes in Edinburgh.

Glasgow is said to be doubling as a futuristic New York for the movie, which also stars Samuel L Jackson, Emma Mackey, and Jenna Ortega.

Produced by Warner Bros, the film marks Abrams’ first project since Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker in 2019.

The release date for the feature film has not been revealed.

Filming is taking place throughout the city in June with a number of roads closed between June 8 and 23.
