KL building to star in new film

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.
