KUALA LUMPUR (AP): A new film starring Sean Connery will be
shot atop a building in Malaysia that is being billed as the
world's tallest.

The filming of Entrapment, a thriller directed by Jon Amiel
will start in the capital of Kuala Lumpur in September, Twentieth
Century Fox, the film's producers, said yesterday.

The final 30 minutes of the action takes place in Kuala
Lumpur, including atop the 452-meter Petronas Twin Towers, an
outstanding landmark of Malaysia.

At a time when Malaysia is heading toward recession, the
project, which also includes Anthony Hopkins, is likely to create
500 jobs for extras and technicians.
