Filming on the latest Hollywood movie to be shot in Glasgow will start today.
Fast 6, part of the Fast And Furious action franchise, will feature scenes filmed in Cadogan Street and the Broomielaw, in the city centre.
It comes around a year after the city hosted filming for World War Z starring Brad Pitt and Cloud Atlas starring Halle Berry.
The Fast And Furious films have featured Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Paul Walker but none of the lead actors for Fast 6 will be in Glasgow for the shoot by the production's secondary film unit which starts at night.
Roads have been closed around Broomielaw, Cadogan Street, Wellington Street and some other nearby streets since Saturday as the preparations began.
Around 250 local and out-of-town crew members will be involved in the shoot which is due to continue until early next month.
Bailie Liz Cameron, at Glasgow City Council, said: "It's great that yet another major film is being made in Glasgow, further proof of our status as the UK's most film-friendly city.
"I'm sure people in Glasgow will be looking forward to seeing how our streets look in this movie."
The production will have a significant economic impact on the city, the council said.
Hollywood films and other broadcasting projects generated £20million for Glasgow's economy last year, according to figures from Glasgow Film Office.
