Driving Hollywood-style: Extras flee as a dustcart ploughs through the streets of Glasgow for zombie thriller World War Z



Glasgow has unkindly been described as looking like a war zone in the past, but today it became a reality thanks to the filming of Brad Pitt's new film.



Transformed to look like the streets of Philadelphia for zombie thriller World War Z, the crew staged an incredible crash sequence featuring a dustcart and dozens of stationary cabs resulting in a policeman going flying through the air.



The scene helps tell the story of a post-apocalyptic world where humans are forced to fight zombies in a desperate battle for survival.

you better run! Crew beat a hasty retreat during filming in Glasgow





Glasgow is the latest city to undergo an amazing transformation thanks to the new zombie thriller.



Workers have so far managed to transform Valletta, in Malta, and Falmouth, in Cornwall, into a world dealing with the aftermath of a global zombie war for the same film.

A threat?: How will Angelina Jolie react to Brad's close working relationship with the pretty lady?





In other pictures taken on the set of the movie, Brad, 47, is seen taking a break from filming accompanied by the pretty brunette who is likely to be a set manager.



Of course, his partner Angelina Jolie will have little to worry about - the dynamic between the actor and his on-set companion is nothing more than a professional working relationship.



However her beauty could well cause a slight bit of jealousy on Angelina's part, which is only natural for any man or woman whose partner works closely with an attractive member of the opposite sex.

Glasgow is the latest city to undergo an amazing transformation thanks to the new zombie thriller.



Film staff have so far managed to transform Valletta and Falmouth into a world dealing with the aftermath of a global zombie war.



And this week the post-apocalyptic scenes witnessed in by locals in Malta and Cornwall have come to Glasgow, as Brad Pitt and his crew bring the living dead to the Scottish city.



The city centre has been transformed into Philadelphia for scenes for the actor's upcoming movie World War Z.

Welcome to Scotland! Brad gives a cheery wave as he wraps up filming for the day







Apple of his eye: Brad carried his laptop as he left work - perhaps with some more lines to learn when he got back to Angelina and the children





And Brad, 47, was right in the thick of it all as he chatted to his crew and watched as the streets were turned into the US city.



Cochrane Street has been renamed John F Kennedy Boulevard and American road signs and street names were put up while yellow taxi cabs and white police cars lined the streets as Philadelphia came to life.





Keep up the good work: Brad looked happy with the set as he chatted to crew members





Working hard: Crew members line the street and get the lighting and the cameras ready





Glasgow was chosen to double as the Pennsylvanian city because of the huge similarities between them including the architecture, wide roads and grid layout of the cities.



Local people have been recruited as zombie extras and Glasgow City Council said the production will involve almost 1,200 people and the impact on local economy is expected to be more than £2 million.

On film: The star is seen stuck in a traffic jam and a police motorbike knocks his wing mirror off - so he gets out to get the smashed mirror back





The film Brad's latest film is a post-apocalyptic horror film based on the novel of the same name by Max Brooks.



Brad plays Brooks who scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived ten years after the human victory over the world wide zombie epidemic.

Marc Forster, who directed Bond classic Quantum Of Solace, is the man behind the lens, while Mireille Enos, who plays leading lady Sarah Linden in The Killing, will play Brad's wife.



Brad arrived in the city yesterday with partner Angelina Jolie and their six children - Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Siloh, five and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox - having chartered a Virgin train from London.

The A-list couple and their six children were snapped arriving at Euston station this morning in a large black people carrier and surrounded by bodyguards and members of their entourage.



When they arrived in Glasgow at 2.30pm, silver vehicles with tinted glass were allowed onto platform 11 to whisk them away from a waiting crowd.







And action! Actors and extras take their positions





In character: Actors dressed as a policeman and a homeless man get ready for their scenes





Who ordered the meat? Locals stand around and watch the action as a delivery truck arrives on set





Speaking to the Scottish Sun, a fan who had been waiting for them to arrive said: 'There were dozens of screaming fans waiting patiently for a glimpse. After all, it's not every day you can say you've seen a Hollywood movie star in Glasgow Central Station.



'But a glimpse was about all people were going to get because no sooner were they off the train than they were straight into some fancy people carriers and off.





You'll need another coat: Rain washes away newly painted crossing lines





Landmark: Workers put up signs for Philadelphia's famous suspension bridge





'Cops and security were trying their best to keep the crowds at bay and it would have been nice if the couple had just waved or something. But even the kids had their heads down.'



The couple are believed to be staying the Carnell Estate Mansion near Kilmarnock and will make the 16th century home theirs for their next few weeks.

First look: Daniel Radcliffe goes to the dark side in brooding horror film Woman In Black

By HOLLY THOMAS



Impressive: Daniel Radcliffe cuts a dashing figure as lawyer Arthur Kipps, sent to a remote island to wrap up the affairs of a deceased client



The teaser trailer for Daniel Radcliffe's first 'grown up' film since Harry Potter has been released...and it's safe to say he's graduated Hogwarts in spooky style.



This two minute taste of The Woman In Black promises a chilling tale, beautifully shot and laden with ghostly ambiance.



It looks set to prove as haunting and atmospheric as the phenomenally successful stage version.





Spooky stuff: Radcliffe has promised that the atmospheric ghost story is 'going to be terrifying.'





The adaption of the classic book and play is directed by Eden Lake's James Watkins, while the script comes from Jane Goldman, the co-screenwriter of Kick Ass and X-Men: First Class.



The story follows a young lawyer Arthur Kipps, who travels to a remote house on an island somewhere in Britain to put the last affairs of a deceased client in order.



He is disturbed by the sight of a ghost at the client's funeral, who children can see but refuse to speak of.





Silent observers: The children see The Woman In Black, but are reluctant to talk to anyone





As the ghost becomes increasingly malevolent, the town is thrown into a frenzy of terror, with the 'house on the marsh', becoming the focal point of the haunting.



The trailer opens with chime toy box music, with disturbing images of old children's toys.



A spooky child's voice declares 'During afternoon tea, there's a shift in the air, a bone-trembling hill that tells you she's there.'





Mystery: Could a family secret be at the heart of the trouble?





The voice continues: 'There are those who believe the whole town is cursed, but the house in the marsh was by far the worst.'



'What she wants is unknown, but she always comes back, the spectre of darkness, the woman in black,' the scary rhyme concludes.



The scenes are shot beautifully, with Radcliffe's pale lawyer reminiscent of Johnny Depp's detective character in Sleepy Hollow.





'There are those who believe the whole town is cursed': A chilling voiceover describes the ghastly effect of the haunting





The barest glimpses of the ghost are frightening enough in themselves.



And Radcliffe has promised that the film won't disappoint for scares.



'It's going to be terrifying, and at the test screening they had, apparently people were leaping out of their seats terrified, so I think it's just going to be a really, really good movie,' the 22-year-old told MTV News.



The Woman In Black is due for release February 12, 2012.





New direction: This film should see a transition for Radcliffe into more adult roles





'During afternoon tea, there's a shift in the air, a bone-trembling hill that tells you she's there..'





Restless: The ghost's unfinished business tears the town apart
