HOLLYWOOD megastar Samuel L Jackson was reportedly spotted in a Scots town this week for filming on a “top-secret” project.
The Almond Valley Heritage Centre, in Livingston, said part of its site had been “transformed into the production village of a major film production” over the weekend.
They further suggested that Jackson had been present, and hinted that it could be an installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) which is being filmed.
The centre wrote on Facebook: “A little bit of Hollywood came to Almond Valley this week as our overflow car park was transformed into the production village of a major film production.
“A string of big fancy trailers parked up in our field, providing base camp for cast and crew as they filmed at various local locations. It was (and is) all very top-secret and even if we knew more, we wouldn’t clype.
“Suffice to say, we’re preparing a commemorative plaque, proudly stating ‘somewhere near this bush, make-up was applied to Samuel L Jackson’.”
They added: “Our apologies if anyone was inconvenienced by all these goings-on – these marvels don’t happen every day.”
The final hint has been taken by some to mean that the upcoming movie The Marvels is what was being filmed.
Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the MCU, could also be set to appear in upcoming Avengers movies.
Livingston local Sue Smillie told The Daily Record: “They filmed in the church – Samuel L Jackson walks up the path to the church and peers in a window then goes in for a while before walking back down the path and gets into a car.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
