Tom Hiddleston spotted on the set of ‘High Rise’ in Northern Ireland

Director Ben Wheatley has started filming his upcoming movie High Rise, based on J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel, in Northern Ireland.

The film revolves around a luxury apartment building and its tenants who are cut off from the outside world. Tom Hiddleston, Luke Evans, Jeremy Irons, Elisabeth Moss, Sienna Miller, Reece Shearsmith, and Stacy Martin star.

Filming began last week in the seaside resort town of Bangor where Twitter user @AdamWalker101 was lucky enough to meet Hiddleston.

Hiddleston is the lead actor in the film, playing Robert Laing, a young doctor in the apartment building. Wheatley told Variety Hiddleston was “the perfect Laing to me. He brings an intelligence, vulnerability and humor to his roles, be they art-house or blockbuster, that will make Laing come alive”.
