A popular Edinburgh Old Town pub has been transformed as filming gets underway in the city.
Temporary signage has been installed above the entrance to The Oz Bar on Candlemaker Row, with workers in high-vis vests also seen outside and at the front door.
It comes following a wave of activity in various locations within the city in recent days as camera crews descended on the capital as it looks, yet again, to play a big part in an upcoming movie.
Large gold signage in another language has appeared on the pub's frontage, with graffiti in what appears to be the same style also spray painted on the wall opposite and above doors on the narrow street.
It remains unclear what movie or TV show has prompted the transformation at The Oz Bar, though it comes after Warner Bros trucks and crews were spotted nearby.

On Monday, June 9, several vans and trucks were pictured on West and South College Street. Crews appeared to be setting up ahead of what could be days of filming in the area according to no parking sign.
Earlier on Monday, we told how a superfan camped out for 15 hours after getting word Hollywood A-lister Samuel L. Jackson was in town for a new JJ Abrams movie, which saw the same Warner Bros truck captured in the background.
Jackson is understood be in the capital filming a project named Ghost Writer. Cast and crew for the movie were on Candlemaker Row over the weekend.
The cast is said to include Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey and Samuel L. Jackson. Warner Bros have kept details for the movie under wraps, though it appears to be a sci-fi.

Dakota Johnson shocks fans by SWEARING on live TV when asked about her love life... after Chris Martin split
Dakota Johnson was quizzed about her dating life in a shock interview on Monday. The timing is interesting as the The Fifty Shades Darker actress, 35, very recently split from Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, 48. In an appearance on The Today Show Craig Melvin asked her and her Materialists co-star Chris Evans a sensitive question. 'If either of you were to engage with a real-life matchmaker, what would be one non-negotiable for you?' asked Craig. Evans said that his prospective partner 'must love dogs.' Johnson's answer was barbed. 'Like, not an a**hole,' she blurted out, which made both the audience and those on set with her laugh. 'That's concise,' Evans, 43, said. 'There it is! Nail on the head.' On Saturday, Dakota and Evans walked the red carpet at the New York City premiere of their film Materialists. While meandering down the step-and-repeat, she puckered her lips and kissed her hunky co-star. Dakota appeared to be in high spirits as she posed with Evans and held up a cardboard cutout of her on-screen love interest Pedro Pascal. At one point, Johnson and Evans had their arms wrapped around each other tightly, and she leaned over to kiss cardboard Pascal's lips. The display at her film premiere comes just shortly after Martin gave her a surprise shout-out while closing out the Coldplay show in Las Vegas on Friday night. The singer unexpectedly referenced Johnson's latest film while speaking to the crowd in between songs. Johnson and Martin were previously engaged and had been together for eight years on and off. 'Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other,' he admonished before adding, 'Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!' A source told 'Their relationship has been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official. 'Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much. 'Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore. 'Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.' The source added there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.' has reached out to representatives for Johnson and Martin for comment but did not immediately hear back. The pair had a brief rumored split in 2019 which was alleged to be over Martin pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together. Martin famously split from actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow, the mother of his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage. The then-Hollywood power couple described their separation at the time as a 'conscious uncoupling' and had their divorce finalized in July 2016. Martin was reported to be in an on-and-off relationship with actress Annabelle Wallis before they split in August 2017. He was first seen with Dakota at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles in October 2017 when they were reported to be 'cozy, laughing and affectionate'. Dakota, the daughter of Don Johnson, 75, and Melanie Griffith, 68, was spotted a month later at a Coldplay concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to fans posing social media pictures of her enjoying the show.

Justin Baldoni's $400m lawsuit against Blake Lively thrown out by judge
Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively has been thrown out by a judge Baldoni launched the lawsuit after Lively sued him for sexual harassment and retaliation in December. Baldoni and production company Wayfarer Studios counter-sued in January for $400 million, accusing Lively and her husband, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, of defamation and extortion. District Court Judge Lewis Liman has now ruled that Baldoni cannot sue Lively for defamation over claims she made in her lawsuit, because allegations made in a lawsuit are exempt from libel claims. Judge Liman also ruled that Baldoni's claims that Lively stole creative control of the film did not count as extortion under California law. While Lively was accused in the lawsuit of threatening to refuse to promote the film, Wayfarer does 'not allege facts showing that Lively had an obligation to promote the film or to approve marketing materials,' Judge Liman wrote. Baldoni's legal team can revise the lawsuit if they want to pursue different claims related to whether Lively breached a contract, the judge said. It Ends With Us, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling 2016 novel that begins as a romance but takes a dark turn into domestic violence, was released in August, exceeding box office expectations with a $50 million debut. But the movie's release was shrouded by speculation of bad blood between Lively and Baldoni. The judge also dismissed Baldoni's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, which reported on Lively's sexual harassment allegations. 'Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, (publicist) Leslie Sloane and The New York Times,' Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, said in a prepared statement. The lawyers said they 'look forward to the next round' of seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages. In her original lawsuit, Lively accused Baldoni of making inappropriate physical advances, such as improvising kissing scenes without her consent, and creating a hostile work environment by entering her trailer uninvited. Lively further claimed that after she reported the alleged incidents, Baldoni and his team orchestrated a smear campaign against her, involving a public relations strategy to damage her reputation. The Associated Press sent emails seeking comment to Baldoni's attorneys. Lively appeared in the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the TV series Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012 before starring in films including The Town and The Shallows. Baldoni starred in the TV comedy Jane the Virgin, directed the 2019 film Five Feet Apart and wrote Man Enough, a book challenging traditional notions of masculinity.
