Samuel L Jackson spotted in West Lothian filming new 'Marvel production'

A West Lothian town has turned into a film set as Hollywood legends were spotted over the weekend.

As well as a line of trailers, Livingston locals spotted none other than Samuel L Jackson, with many guessing he's filming a new Marvel production. Although, anyone who is familiar with Marvel, know they keep everything tightly underwraps.

The overflow car park Almond Valley Heritage Centre became home to the stars as the area was transformed into a production village. Trailers were parked across the field with some locals posting online that they saw Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As the Record reports, resident Sue Smillie confirmed: “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!”

Heritage Centre staff took to Facebook to say: “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 showbiz) 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.”

Facebook users gave their opinion on what they thought was being filmed.

Louise O’Brien said: “I think it’s for Marvel Secret Invasion or The Marvels and it is very cool that filming has taken place in West Lothian.”
