A movie fan has snapped a picture of one of the huge drones that are being used to film Fast and Furious 9 in Edinburgh, and people are amazed.

Reddit user ReplicantPersephones took a photo of the drone next to a crew member on 16 September, and shared it to the r/Moviesinthemaking subreddit, which is dedicated to behind the scenes photos and footage of films.

They said:

"One of the (huge) drones they were using to film fast and furious 9 scenes in Edinburgh."

Dozens of people from all around the world commented on the photo - taken on Cockburn Street- with one person saying:

"They're using one on the show I'm working right now, sounds like a cloud of angry hornets."

Someone else was clearly worrying about a future robot uprising, and said:

"Next thing you know they'll be carrying 50 calibers and be called Hunter Killer."

The photographer later shared another, close up picture of the drone to quash comments that it "wasn't that big":

Looks pretty huge to us! Apparently some models have an auto-deploy parachute on the top to stop it being damaged if any of the rotors fail. You certainly wouldn't want that giant camera falling on your head while you were trying to buy boho dresses and used posters in the city centre.
