Glasgow to host new Hollywood film Cloud Atlas
BBC News
Glasgow is to host another major Hollywood production - weeks after the Brad Pitt zombie movie World War Z finished filming in the city.
Shooting for Cloud Atlas, which stars Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Susan Sarandon, will take place between 16 and 18 September and on 26 September.
The film is based on David Mitchell's award-winning 2004 novel.
Its six related stories span from the 19th Century to a near dystopian and eventual post apocalyptic future.
The decision to bring Cloud Atlas to the city was taken after its production team met with Glasgow City Council's Glasgow Film Office (GFO).
