Cape Town - Hollywood film bosses have hired ex-gangsters – to play themselves in a new multi-billion rand blockbuster.
The hardened ex-cons will be starring alongside Hollywood superstars Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker in the film Zulu.
The movie is currently being filmed at various locations around the CBD.
But the Daily Voice has learned that movie chiefs also built a massive purpose-built set on the mean streets of Parkwood.
The notorious suburb has been buzzing all week as Tinseltown descended on the Cape Flats.
Crews spent a week building a gigantic set that
mirrors a typical Flats neighbourhood – complete with fake DStv
satellite dishes, aerials and sink houses.
