Trainspotting star Ewen Bremner spotted filming in Glasgow as he plays Alan McGee in Creative Stories

TRAINSPOTTING star Ewen Bremner has been spotted in Glasgow as he films new film Creation Stories.

The Scots actor, 47, plays legendary music exec Alan McGee, who co-founded the Creation Records label and managed huge acts such as Oasis, The Libertines and Primal Scream.

The film was adapted by Irvine Welsh, who also wrote Trainspotting, from McGee's memoirs.

It is being directed by Nick Moran and executive produced by Danny Boyle.

IMDB describes Creation Stories as "tells the unforgettable tale of infamous Creation Records label head Alan McGee; and of how one written-off young Glaswegian upstart rose to irrevocably change the face of British culture."

It was revealed last year the Ewen Bremner helped coach Tom Hardy in his first movie role.

Sir Ridley Scott told how he paired the Scot with the now-Hollywood A-lister to “look after him” during the shooting of 2001 war flick Black Hawk Down.

And the actor revealed he kept Spud’s trademark glasses safe for 20 years – never expecting he would need to wear them again for a sequel.

He was allowed to keep the bizarre yellow-tinted specs after making the original movie in 1996.

He was even going to auction them off, fearing he would never be reunited with Ewan McGregor’s character Renton, Robert Carlyle’s Begbie and Jonny Lee Miller’s Sick Boy.

Then, Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle finally came calling.
