Untitled JJ Abrams blockbuster starring Samuel L Jackson and Glen Powell to begin filming in Glasgow

A number of roads in Glasgow have been closed for the filming of a new untitled blockbuster starring Glen Powell and Samuel L Jackson.

Filming is set to take place throughout the city, with a number of roads being shut between June 8 and June 23 as the shooting of JJ Abrams first project since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker begins.

The secretive untitled project, produced by Warner Bros, is believed to be an upcoming American fantasy film.

Powell, who was in Glasgow last year for the filming of the Running Man, is the reported lead with Samuel L Jackson also starring.

Sex Education’s Emma Mackey and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Jenna Ortega have also been cast in the project.

Principal photography began in London on April 26. The release date for the feature film has not been revealed.
