Hi Everyone,
Yes its me-again,I went into Glasgow today to watch the last of the filming of Brad Pitts movie World War Z.Due to Tax breaks,Glasgow was used as a substitute for Philadelphia.
Sorry I didnt capture the Star or any of the action scenes,it was raining and I did wait around for sometime for filming to begin,but patience is not one of my virtues,so I went home.

Batman is also being filmed in my hometown, Pittsburgh. My family has commented about seeing the batmobile around the city. I know they filmed in our football stadium for like 8 hours, in blistering heat, and the extras has to wear clothing like it was winter. That's some batman dedication.

I have spent a lot of time in Philly. So now, can I also say I've spent a lot of time in Glasgow? Hmmmm, something tells me I'd still rather actually see Glasgow in person.

My sister Kelly was diagnosed with 3b NSCLC in May of 2007. A nodule on her adrenal gland has at times been thought to also be involved, but I, her surgeon, her radiation oncologist, and many oncologists I work with don't think it is. So we're going with that. She completed 5 rounds of carbo/taxol on a weekly schedule with concurrent radiation for 37 days. CT and PET showed nodes were clean but still residual activity in the tumor, which was reduced in size from 8x5 cm to 3x2cm. She attempted a lobectomy on 22 January 08 but the tumor resides a bit in the lower lobe in addition to the upper lobe, and the surgeon would not remove the entire left lung. She started Tarceva on 27 February 08. Her first scan showed decreased activity in the tumor and yet again, nothing new outside of that tumor. Her Dr. and I were actually kind of shocked! June '08 she had a total of 48 Gy of radiation via cyberknife. Her PET from 10 Sept '08 showed nothing new, the tumor size not really changed, but the SUV went down again, from 3.9 in May to 3.1, down from about 19 when this all started. She took a bit of a Tarceva holiday as we had some electrolyte issues due to not eating anything. She is currently back on it and taking 50 mg with tolerable toxicity. December '08 scan showed stable disease and yet again, less activity than before. April '09 scan actually said "area of hypermetabolic activity previously noted is not visualized today"! I could hardly believe my eyes and read it over and over. August and December '09 scans nearly identical! Now the June 2010 scan is just like the last ones - no uptake in the tumor, no new sites! Scan in January 2011 showed something on a rib on the contralateral side. Everyone in agreement that she broke a rib when she took a really bad fall a couple months ago. No one seems to think it is cancer, since the PET showed nothing in the lung or lymph nodes! Not moving to yearly scans yet though, so back in July! Our family really needed that good news as a month before we buried our 26 yr old nephew and are all still reeling from the shock and pain. July 2011 scan showed nothing new and she and the dr agreed to give her a drug break, so she went off Tarceva and so he wants to scan again in 3 months. There was a 3 mm nodule in the other lung and he didn't want to wait too long to scan given that and the no drug status. Scan in October of 2011 again showed nothing new, no growth, all is stable. The nodule in the other lung still listed as 2-3 mm. February 2012 scan was same as it ever was. :) Next scan is in August and she'll have gone one year without any treatment at that point. On May 19th it was 5 yrs from the day we heard she had lung cancer and we marked the occasion with a big party full of family and friends! She had a scan on Aug 24th and the results were more of the same, and marching orders from her oncologist that he doesn't need to see her for another year!

Hi Cat127,
Batmans gone to Pittsburg?,I had read a report in our local press some weeks ago,the producers were scouring locations for their new Batman film,the story went, Glasgow was they place they decided would make the perfect Gotham City,and would begin filming here in the near future?.
Possibly a change of heart? I dont know,I have not read anything to the contrary,until you mentioned Pittsburg,unless they still intend to shoot some scenes here also?.

I think he started out with us maybe? I checked http://www.imdb.com (my resource for all things movie) and there is a good long list of locations. I think they are gone from Pittsburgh by now. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345836/locations

Yep, searched a bit more and he's left the city. Here are some shots from my hometown though. He must be on his way over the Atlantic now.

Hi Cat127,
At the risk of becoming a bit of a bore of the subject of filming in Glasgow,tonights Evening Times reports that Glasgow will now double for San Francisco,in a movie called Cloud Atlas,based on the best selling book of the same name by British writer David Mitchell,filming begins at the end of the month in Glasgow's Merchant City,it stars include Halle Berry,Tom Hanks,Natalie Portman,Scot James McAvoy and Susan Saradon.

Oh I like the sound of that cast!! I'll have to keep track of its progress on imdb.com

I love when movies film in my hometown. I follow all the gossip on line. Emma Watson finished filming a movie in Pittsburgh this summer and they filmed a scene for it at the movie theatre at the end of my street. They said she was so very nice and friendly and hung around talking to the locals. On TV recently she was raving about how much she loved the city and how nice people were. Jake Gyllenhall filmed a movie there a year ago and he too raved about how much he loved the city. A lot of people don't know what a great town it is, so it is nice when Hollywood folks say kind things.

Maggie Gyllenhall has been filming a movie in Pittsburgh too and my brother-in-law spent two days filming as an extra. Can't wait to see if he ends up on the cutting room floor.

Yeah - the name of that website cracks me up. When I first found it I was all ready to be offended, thinking it was someone making fun of my hometown. Now I love checking it out periodically.
