A NEW Netflix movie with High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is to film in Glasgow this week.
Glasgow Cathedral will play host to production for The Princess Switch: Switched Again - a sequel to the Christmas film released in November 2018.
In the first film, Hudgens plays a talented baker who swaps lives with a prince's fiancee that looks just like her and is also played by the 31-year-old.
The cathedral dates back to the 12th century, one of the city's oldest buildings, and was previously used as a filming location for hit TV series Outlander and another Netflix production, Outlaw King.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) posted on Twitter saying services in the church would continue as normal despite the closure.
A spokeswoman added: "Glasgow Cathedral will be temporarily closed to visitors from January 3 to 10 2020 inclusive.
"This is to accommodate third-party filming within the site. Scheduled church services will operate as normal during this period.
"The cathedral will reopen to visitors, under normal opening hours, on Saturday January 11."
A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council and a spokesman for the Glasgow Film Office told the PA news agency a Netflix production would be filming in the city having also been in Edinburgh recently.
The Edinburgh Evening News reported that popular bakery Mimi's Bakehouse was being transformed into the shop owned by Hudgens' character Stacy.
Hudgens - whose other acting credits include Sucker Punch, Spring Breakers and the upcoming Bad Boys For Life - was also pictured on social media filming in and around Edinburgh last month.
It comes after the streaming service brought production for another film to the same area in September.
Eurovision stars Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as two Icelandic singers given the chance to appear in the famous song contest, with other cast members said to include Pierce Brosnan, Dan Stevens and Demi Levato.
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!
