Oscar winning film stars Samuel L Jackson and Olivia Coleman have been spotted filming in a St Helens industrial estate this afternoon.
The sighting follows on from Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke posting an Instagram snap from Crosby Beach yesterday.
Clarke was pictured embracing one of Antony Gormley's 'Another Place' sculptures and writing that Liverpool had "done stole my heart".

The ECHO understands filming is underway on the site of the former Pilkington's Glass factory in Alexandra Park, Prescot Road, although official details of the shoot are wrapped in secrecy.
Due to the set up of the location, it has proven difficult to catch a glimpse of the cast or crew from outside the site.
The visits of Jackson, Coleman and Clarke are not unrelated, with all three A-listers involved in upcoming Marvel mini-series Secret Invasion , which involves the infiltration of Earth by shapeshifting aliens the Skrulls
Jackson reprises his role as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D Nick Fury, while Clarke and Coleman's roles have not been disclosed.
British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir, who appeared in Netflix drama The OA and ITV detective series Vera , is set to play the "main villain" while Australian The Dark Knight Rises star Ben Mendohlson resumes the role he played in Captain Marvel - Talos.
Liverpool Film Office, which facilitates TV and film production in the Liverpool City Region, said it could not comment on the project.
The cast and crew were also spotted filming in Halifax's Piece Hall last month for the same project.
The Hollywood legend is no stranger to Merseyside and seems to hold a particular affection for the city since starring alongside Robert Carlyle in 2001's Liverpool-set comedy thriller The 51st State.
In a radio interview in 2016, the Pulp Fiction, Coach Carter and Django Unchained star said he "absolutely loves" Liverpool, and declared himself a Liverpool FC fan.
He told Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw: "I love Liverpool, the city.
“It’s actually great, we had a great time. In fact, we actually drove down from Blackpool last year while we were shooting this film to have lunch."
“God, it’s changed. The whole river front has changed and there’s loads of nice tapas restaurants.
“I was kind of like ‘tapas in Liverpool?’ When I was originally there shooting...not so much.
“We found this amazing Chinese restaurant, too, which was right by where I was living, which was great.”
He was also spotted enjoying the golf at the 2014 Open Championship in Hoylake, Wirral, and in 2015 surprised staff and customers at south Liverpool's Neon Jamon when he stopped by for a meal.
