Trailer drops for motion picture which filmed in Glasgow
During production, film crews took to the streets in Glasgow during July and August 2024 to
Glasgow City Council has permitted film crews to film in Renfield Lane, as we previously reported, for the movie.
The film takes you through the true story of John Davidson from Galashiels faced and overcame many hardships from adolescence and early adulthood as a result of what was a little-known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain.
He has since claimed an MBE for his campaigning on tourettes awareness and is now the centre of the new film set to appear on cinema screens on October 15, 2025.
Robert Aramayo, known for his roles as Eddard Stark in the sixth and seventh series of HBO series Game of Thrones, as well as featuring in Netflix's psychological thriller miniseries Behind Her Eyes, will take on the role of Davidson.
Other famous Scottish actors involved in the project include Peter Mullan and Shirley Henderson.
The motion picture was shot across various locations in the West of Scotland last year, including Clydebank.
The Town Hall was surrounded by a camera crew, equipment, and trucks as the filming for the British drama got underway.

Festival-goers faced temperatures of up to 30C at Glasgow Green, made all the hotter by dancing and jumping. But despite the high temperatures, which are set to continue into Sunday, Sigrid gave TRNSMT a thumbs up. "It was really fun. It was incredibly hot. "Honestly, I gotta admit, I'm not feeling very well. "I'm okay, but I'm not used to the heat. But it was great. The crowd, was really, really lovely. "I was very impressed by how they braved the heat. This is probably one of the hottest shows we've ever done." The Strangers singer added: "It was really tough. This is one of the few shows where I've not been moving that much. "It felt a bit like I should have given more but I just wasn't able to. But it was really really fun and it was really nice to see Glasgow again." The pop star spoke as The Kooks played their set on the main stage in the background. Music video for Sigrid's hit song Don't Kill My Vibe She said the band was fundamental to her learning music from a young age. "That was my whole childhood, or my whole youth" she said as the indie band played Sofa Song. "Seaside, I remember I covered that song. "And She Moves In Her Own Way is one of the first songs I learned on guitar." She added: "The Kooks were so integral to me learning instruments." She said TRNSMT was one of her favourite festivals, adding that it was "amazing" and getting "better and better" every year. She described Scottish crowds as "amazing, and very loud, rowdy". "I feel like in Scotland people are rooting for me," she said. "Today, I honestly was wondering am I gonna faint soon. "If it's not me surely someone in the audience must faint. Earlier today, I just felt they were rooting for everyone to do well." The Norwegian artist said she went to a farm near Glasgow before the festival to try some Scottish foods. The singer said she had tried haggis before in Scotland, which she described as "weird". She had also tried Buckfast which she said was "intense". She said: "I just got handed Buckfast once when we were playing Usher Hall. It was quite nice."

Rosie O'Donnell goes medieval on Trump over citizenship threat: ‘King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan'
Rosie O'Donnell fired right back at President Donald Trump after he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post on Truth Social on Saturday morning. The comedian and former talk show host, a longtime critic of the president, was — like Trump — born in New York to one American-born parent and one immigrant parent. In a blistering response to his threat, she called him 'King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,' a reference to a much-hated, sadistic, authoritarian character from Game of Thrones. Trump earlier wrote on Truth Social: 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.' He continued: 'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!' O'Donnell, who relocated to Ireland days before Trump began his second term, didn't take long to respond. She posted a photo of Trump with the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to Instagram, and wrote: 'Hey Donald –you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours.' O'Donnell wrote that while he had called her 'a threat to humanity,' she is 'everything you fear: a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth'. After contrasting their lives and outlooks, O'Donnell writes: 'You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead and try, King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.' She adds: 'I'm not yours to silence. I never was. 🇮🇪 Rosie.' O'Donnell and Trump have been feuding since 2006, when she criticized his moral character, calling him a 'snake-oil salesman' and 'not a self-made made,' while she was a host of The View on ABC. They have traded barbs ever since. There is no presidential power to strip anyone of citizenship, but since returning to the White House, Trump has sought to end birthright citizenship, guaranteed to Americans under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The 14th Amendment states: 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.' In another alarming move, a recently unveiled memo from the Department of Justice outlines the Trump administration's plans to 'maximally pursue' denaturalization of American citizens. Approximately 25 million people in the U.S. are naturalized citizens, or immigrants who completed the lengthy legal process to gain citizenship. According to the June 11 memo, the Justice Department's civil division will 'prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.' That evidence would need to be proof that an individual 'illegally procured' citizenship through fraud or other means. It is rare, but it does happen. Days before Trump's return to the White House, the 63-year-old comedian left the U.S. and moved to Ireland, which she says has helped improve her health and sleep. Nevertheless, she remains a fierce critic of Trump, and on Sunday, she blamed him for the impact of the deadly flash floods in Central Texas in a lengthy TikTok video. 'And, you know, when the president guts all of the early warning systems and the weather forecasting abilities of the government, these are the results…' O'Donnell said in part. As many as 129 people are known to have died in the disaster, with contributing factors being an insufficient early warning system and the timing of the storm, which hit as it did in the middle of the night. In March, O'Donnell questioned how Trump comfortably won every swing state in the 2024 election, claiming that one of his 'best friends owns and runs the internet,' likely referring to former 'first buddy' Elon Musk. Despite her long-running criticism of the president, there is no evidence that O'Donnell is a 'threat to humanity.'

Band get Glasgow TRNSMT crowd Scottish traditional dancing
Saturday's lineup was full to the brim of Celtic guitar-powered rock, and the crowd were eager to hear their favourite riffs. It's no wonder, then, that Falkirk's Brogeal drew an impressive crowd to the King Tut's Stage. Having recently announced their debut album, Tuesday Paper Club, set for release in October, they were in high spirits. They sauntered on stage with a swagger and a 'cheers troops' to the screams from the crowd.

It's pure Pogues-esque brilliance - accordions the lot. 'How you doing, TRNSMT, are you ready for a wee dance?' they ask before firing into a stramash of trad riffs. 'This is our second year here', they beam as they declare they've 'levelled up'. You'll Be Mine is given the foreword that the Scottish Dance, the Pogo, can be performed to it. The Saturday crowd didn't need another excuse as variations of Gay Gordons and other traditional dances erupted during the tune. I'd previously seen Brogeal at Glasgow's McChuills - a terrific, sweaty little venue - and was delighted to see them prove themselves instantly on a much bigger stage. New tunes from the upcoming album were played, one introduced as 'being about getting p**d', to cheers from the tipsy crowd.

Vicar Street Days, a new release, despite introducing a banjo, could fit into a Stone Roses album. Friday On My Mind is a pure summer anthem, after which the band announce 'Time for some good old f****n rock and roll!' Girl From New York City inspires a 'Brogeal are on fire' chant from the crowd, as the sun sizzles them in 31-degree heat. Finishing off their set with a whistle-led instrumental, Brogeal cement themselves as a band that has proven themselves on the pub stage, and now at Scotland's biggest festival. You just couldn't help but smile as people linked arms and enjoyed twirling around to Falkirk's fierce folk rockers.
