Filming for the 1996 gothic horror film, Mary Reilly, stars such as Julia Roberts and John Malkovich came to Scotland’s capital - the perfect setting for the 19th century blockbuster.
Transforming parts of Edinburgh for the period film, Mary Reilly was based on the 1990 novel of the same name, written by Valerie Martin - which was inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
The film looks at the classic story from the point of view of Dr Jekyll’s Irish maid (Julia Roberts), as she is drawn in by both Jekyll and Hyde (both played by John Malkovich). It also stars Michael Sheen, Glenn Close, Michael Gambon and several other well known actors.
