Prestwick Airport: Soviet-themed 'Tetris' film crew in Ayrshire

Film crews were spotted at the airport on Monday, February 8, to shoot scenes for the upcoming Falling Blocs: Tetris movie starring Egerton, who plays Dutch businessman Henk Rogers, a front-runner in the formation of The Tetris Company, and Nikita Efrenov, who takes on the role of Alexey Pajitnov - a Russian programmer behind the video game. 

Turned into 1980s Moscow, the airport grounds were filled with motors from the era which were adorned with Russian registration plates alongside numerous cameras and large filming equipment which hung overhead.

Coming across the action while out for some daily exercise, a Prestwick man said onlookers could not spot much and that people near the terminal area, presumably film crew, were simply standing around or seeking shelter from the cold wind.

Last month, filming for the Soviet-themed movie began in Glasgow, where masked film crew, trailers and actors in costume were spotted on Morrison Street in Tradeston and Battlefield Road, as well as outside Hampden Park.

Rocketman star Egerton sported a striking moustache which caught the eye of many Glaswegians. 

Filming is due to continue in Glasgow at least until February 26.

Expected to hit screens in 2022, the film is being directed by Jon S Baird and produced by Matthew Vaughn who is behind X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass.
