A buddy of mine snagged some pictures from the area where Super 8 begins shooting this week...in the Marland Heights area of Weirton, WV.
Attached are photo's of: The "Lillian Heights Pharmancy" ; "Lillian Heights Post Office" ; Interior shots of the Lillian Heights 7-11 & Post Office (once a Marland Heights Market & Ice Cream Shop) ; Lillian Middle School (once an old Marland Heights Primary School) and some shots of the 70's era buses behind the building ; Arcade from downtown Lillian, OH (actually shot in the older section of Main Street, Weirton, WV); Used Car Sales lot in the same vicinity. The last photo is the older area of Weirton, where the Arcade, Used Car Lot and most of the city shots will be taking place downtown.
Filming begins this week in the Marland Heights and there will be night shots around the school area. The casting calls are being sent out between Sept 20th and the end of October so we're hoping that sometime in the next couple weeks we hear something and be a part of Hollywood! Enjoy the photo's, we'll see if we can get some shots of cast or crew in the coming weeks!

The Narrator: The Better Man
This is really starting to shape up. Definitely a homage to Spielberg's earlier films.

awwesome, but this is gonna lose a lot in the curiousity department. Cloverfield was such a success b/c of the absolute secrecy around the project - it showed up and no one even knew it had been on tap to be filmed, let alone actually completed. this one is gonna be like all the Iron-Man and other flicks - lots of pics from the sets and lots of updates, meaning less surprise. oh well. still excited about it!
