Oscar-winning film director Steven Spielberg has masterminded a transformation of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter into a US city.

With shooting on the sci-fi thriller Ready Player One set to be concentrated into four days from Tuesday, September 6 until Saturday, September 10, technicians have been rapidly dressing the outdoor set.

While Deep Blue Productions has been asking people not to share pictures of filming on social media (that's going well) “until July 2018”, the film is still listed for UK release on Good Friday, March 30, 2018.
