FIFE-based Scaramanga is back in the movie spotlight with its vintage lanterns featuring in Abba movie sequel ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’.

The latest film role for the Cupar company’s products came about when props buyers for the movie, which opens today, called Scaramanga owner Carl Morenikeji last September to order 13 blue-glass and metal lanterns.

Scaramanga said: “They loved them so much they later came back for extra lanterns and added an extra-large vintage brass padlock plus a large hasp and staple to the order.”

The sequel to 2008 movie hit ‘Mamma Mia!’ stars Meryl Streep, Cher, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried, Andy Garcia, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan. It sees Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) back on the Greek island of Kalokairi 10 years later, pregnant with her first child, running her mother’s villa.

The lanterns were hung in the branches of an olive tree in the villa’s courtyard in an evening party scene which features Cher arriving and singing ‘Fernando’, shot at Shepperton Studios in Surrey late last year.

Scaramanga noted that ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ was the eighth major movie to use its products in six years.

Past Hollywood and major movie screen roles for its vintage products include ‘Paddington 2’, ‘The Hobbit’, ‘Maleficent’, ‘Pan’, ‘The Legend of Tarzan’, ‘Dark Shadows’ and ‘Victoria & Abdul’.

Mr Morenikeji said: “When I founded Scaramanga 12 years ago and named it after a Bond movie, it would have seemed a dream to become the first-choice supplier for so many leading movie props buyers.”
