We already know the Batmobile is on its way… now makers of the new Batman movie have sent an SOS for a supporting cast of American-style supercars in the blockbuster.

Film crews are scheduled to shoot scenes for the latest Dark Knight adventure in Glasgow later this month.

Production executives have now appealed to car enthusiasts to get in touch.

Fans are eagerly awaiting filming to start in the hope it will be their first opportunity to catch a glimpse of the new Batmobile.

Following an appeal on social media, owners were quick to show off their cars.

Offers included a Ram 1500, Cadillac Escalade EXT, a Ford Mustang and an 80s-style Ford pick-up truck.

In a post on Facebook page American Muscle Scotland, Jim Glen, manager of NYPD Car Hire (Scotland), wrote: “Wanted: US cars for upcoming movie in Glasgow.

“Looking for US-spec cars for upcoming movie being filmed in Glasgow.”

Crews are looking for cars manufactured from the late 80s to modern day.

Shooting for the film has already begun in London.

Cars selected must be available for filming in Glasgow on February 22 and 23, as revealed in the Sunday Mail last month.

The Batman has been written and is being directed by Matt Reeves, best known for his work on the most recent Planet of the Apes sequels.

British star Robert Pattinson, 33, plays the lead role of billionaire Bruce Wayne and his alter ego.

He follows in the footsteps of Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney in taking on the role.

Irishman Colin Farrell has joined the cast as The Penguin, Zoe Kravitz is Catwoman, Paul Dano plays The Riddler and Andy Serkis is butler Alfred Pennyworth.

Scotland’s biggest city will play a starring role in the upcoming production and parts of the city will be transformed to look like Batman’s fictional home Gotham City.

A source said: “Anyone who has a big American car would love to see it in a Batman movie.

“It’s a small claim to fame that would be even better if it’s involved in a chase with the

Batmobile.”

The Warner Bros film is expected to arrive in cinemas in June 2021.

Screen Scotland said: “Screen Scotland provides a confidential locations service to film and TV productions looking to film in Scotland.

“This means we are unable to comment on discussions about specific productions.”

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council’s film office said: “We’re in constant contact with film and broadcast productions of all sizes to see how we can attract them to Glasgow and help them while they’re here.

“This seems to work well, so I am sure we will continue to see these productions coming to the city in the future.”

NYPD Car Hire (Scotland) did not respond to our request for a comment.
