An Edinburgh local has shared the moment they 'stumbled' across a Hollywood film set in the capital.

Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, Twisters actor Glen Powell, Sex Education's Emma Mackey and Pulp Fiction actor Samuel L. Jackson are just some of the cast set to appear in sci-fi movie, Ghostwriter.

Tourist Pam, who was lucky enough to spot the star while she was in Edinburgh for a trip, said: "When we travelled to Edinburgh we didn't expect to see a part of Hollywood. We were excited to see the beautiful cobblestone streets in the city and just stumbled across the set.

"We returned the next day to enjoy walking the same street, and we look forward to seeing it someday on film and knowing we were there."

While the plot is a tightly kept secret, The Hot Mic has suggested the film is an '80s throwback film and follows the author of a series of novels who reveals that the mythical world he's known for creating is in fact real.
