Eugene Strange, location manager for the film, previously described how Glasgow was the 'best place' to shoot the Hollywood blockbuster due to the variety of architecture. He said: 'We looked at many cities across the UK to double for American cities, but Glasgow is by far and away the best place to double. STV News Glasgow has been made to appear as 'New York, Boston and Detroit'. STV News Glen Powell is the star of the 1987 remake. 'It has a variety of architecture, modern, classical and brutalist.
