Eight pictures show Scottish street turned back in time for Hollywood movie filming

A STREET in Glasgow's city centre has been turned back in time for the filming of a huge new Hollywood blockbuster.

Filming for Jack of Spades, a period film set in the late 1800s, has been taking place since September 21 and will run until September 30.

Pictures from the set show the streets next to Glasgow City Chambers being transformed for filming, as the road is turned back into a dirt track, and horse-drawn carriages can be seen on the street.

Cochrane Street was the main focus of today's set as there were crew out shovelling dirt the length of it and shopfronts being transformed.

An undertaker's storefront can be seen on the street under the name J. Roxburgh, which offers "cheapest and best funerals," according to their signage.

There are multiple horse carts on the street, including one with a sign for "Theatrical Removals" on it.

A poster advertising the old Glasgow Evening Times, now The Glasgow Times, along with The Glasgow Herald, now The Herald, can be seen on a building.

Starring The Crown's Josh O'Connor, the film will be directed by Joel Coen.

Joel, along with his brother Ethan, has been responsible for acclaimed films such as Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou, No Country For Old Men and True Grit.

Jack of Spades is the director's second solo film, following the release of The Tragedy of Macbeth in 2021.

Details about the historical production are being kept under wraps.
