Now filming in West Virginia
Principal photography is well underway on J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 and a West Virginia local snagged some on-set footage in Weirton, where production is taking place. He writes:
I just recently found out that the movie Super 8 was being filmed in my hometown and we walked down to see the set last night (10/08/10) during filming. There were a lot of military vehicles, soldiers, and 70’s cars. (We even caught glimpse of one of the stunt cars) The whole place was lit up by huge stadium lights and it looked like they were shooting with a camera on a big crane arm. Hope you enjoy.
The film stars Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Gabriel Basso, Joel Courtney, Ryan Lee, Zach Mills and Riley Griffiths. For a teaser trailer follow this link.
