A-list Hollywood stars 'film new Marvel movie' at West Lothian football stadium

A football stadium in West Lothian appears to be the latest venue chosen as a film location for a new Marvel movie.

Locals spotted Hollywood A-list actor Samuel L Jackson earlier this week, with film trailers photographed at Almond Valley Heritage Centre in Livingston.

On Tuesday, trailers, production crew and a food truck were seen outside the Tony Macaroni Arena in Livingston, believed to be a set for new film The Marvels, also staring Brie Larson, Gemma Chan and Tessa Thompson.

Almond Valley Heritage Centre posted on FB: "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 film crew were spotted in West Lothian recently. (Submitted.)

"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.”

"Saturday and Sunday were supposed to be quiet days for the film production, with the big trailers shunted into a corner of the field so as not to get in the way of our visitors. But plans changed, (that’s show biz) and the full crew decided to move out today, just as happy visitors were arriving for a mother’s day visit to Almond Valley. Our apologies if anyone was inconvenienced by all these goings-on – these marvels don’t happen every day."
