Glasgow has been used more often for Hollywood movies due to its architecture and the way it can be made to look like New York City. There are also tax breaks for productions that film makers can make the most of in the UK, which adds to Glasgow's appeal. Glasgow City Council can sometimes also offer funding to productions which adds to the attractiveness of the city. In 2025 some big productions took place in the city, from action films like Spiderman, to Thrillers such as Ghost writer and Fear. With that there were a lot of celebrity sightings and people coming into town to watch the movies getting made.
