The makers of a Bollywood blockbuster are emulating a slice of iconic Kiwi film Goodbye Pork Pie by driving a Mini through unlikely spots in central Wellington.
Part of the waterfront between Frank Kitts Park and the Lagoon was cordoned off yesterday to allow filming of three Mini Coopers being chased by a horde of black-leather-wearing bikers.
The vehicles sped through a fake outdoor market where a couple of actors had to perfectly time their jump to safety from the on-rushing cars.
The scene is part of the Bollywood production Players – a remake of the classic car-chase movie The Italian Job – currently being shot in Wellington.

A car and jet chase along New Zealands Wellington Airport runway and spectacular explosions filmed by whirling helicopters are set to force significant road closures when a big-budget Bollywood movie rolls into town. Wellington City Council is considering applications to close parts of the city centre for two weeks from mid-January for filming of an Indian remake of the Michael Caine classic The Italian Job. A shooting schedule for the film, titled Players, reveals many parts of Wellington would feature in the movie.
