Glasgow features in new trailer for Tetris movie filmed in city

The first ever trailer for Tetris, the movie that was filmed in Glasgow, has been released.

Anticipation for the film is high as shooting of the movie was completed more than two years ago between December 2020 to February 2021 during lockdown.

Tetris tells the true story of how Henk Rogers, played by Hollywood star Taron Egertson, navigates the legal battle and how he attempts to purchase the rights to the iconic video game from a man who lives in the Soviet Union during the cold war.

During the film crews time in Glasgow, over two-years ago, Morrison Street was transformed into a 1980's era Soviet before the iron curtain was drawn back adding to the time frame of the movie.

Scenes were filmed against the backdrop of the old Co-op building as well as at a nearby empty office building.

Alongside this, vintage Skoda and Trabant cars and a host of Soviet military vehicles were spotted on the road, which had been decked out with Communist Party signage on the side of buildings and a newspaper stand and posters.

Cast members were also spotted dressed as civilians and members of the military wearing authentic Russian hats and clothing.

The movie is due to show iconic locations of Glasgow including Prestwick Airport on the Ayrshire Coast and many other places.

Glasgow wasn't the only Scottish city to host the film crew for Tetris. The Granite City of Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland was also used for some scenes.

Apple TV+ will be releasing the movie to stream on March 31, this year.
