A "Philadelphia" cop car on Scotland set of Brad Pitt zombie flick

At a great loss of revenue for our city, and more devastatingly, good copy for us, Brad Pitt's zombie thriller "World War Z" is not shooting in Philadelphia but in Glasgow, Scotland, which is doubling for Philadelphia. Here's a PPD car from the set.

That's a shame this movie isn't getting filmed in Philly especially because they would have saved a ton of money by not needing to cast extras as zombies. There are so many decrepit people wandering aimlessly about on the streets here that sometimes it makes me wonder if the zombie apocalypse would go unnoticed until it is too late. ~ shudder ~
