It’s not every day that acting royalty visits Portland, but yesterday was certainly one of those days! This is because Hollywood A-Lister Brian Cox was in town to film for his upcoming movie, Little Wing. Over the years, the veteran actor has starred in movies such as Braveheart, Manhunter, and the Jason Bourne films.

As snapped by a savvy Portlander, various roads were closed in the NoPo area of the city. The sign above reads “Road Closed – To Thru Traffic. Local Access Only.” It also looks like this flick is set in the suburbs which makes sense, considering the movie’s plot.

According to IMDB, the movie is a coming-of-age flick that “Follows a 13-year-old girl who is dragged into the world of pigeon racing as she deals with her parent’s divorce and the impending loss of her home.” Overall, this plot seems a bit niche to say the least, and it’s true that there aren’t many pigeon racing films. However, this is Portland after all, so it’s only right that something a bit quirky would happen to be filmed here.

So, if you find yourself wondering around some of the North Portland neighborhoods of the city then you may just bump into Brian Cox and some of his co-stars!
