Movie set in town!

There is a new movie being filmed in town..Moby Dick. William Hurt and Ethan Hawke are in it. I haven't seen them or anything, but it is exciting just the same.
This is a picture of a false building that was built in the middle of the street.
This is the back of the false building, see it is only the front. In the center of the building you can see another building with red trim, this is our Dory Shop Museum, that several years ago was refinished to film The Scarlet Letter, with Demi Moore, also on the right is an old warehouse that was also refinished for the Scarlet Letter. We enjoyed the movie but I guess it wasn't the hit elsewhere that they thought it would be.

A small two sided structure to cover our lost fishermen monument.


A really cute fully finished church, that was built for the new movie. Cute picket fence also new!




Front of the false building it says Nantucket Warf. The yellow building is our local tavern, and the movie people want to paint it, but that is another story.....They even covered our brick sidewalk with wood, they will also cover the road with dirt.
This is our 3rd big movie, seeing how they do things is kind of cool, makes you wonder when you watch tv what is real and what is put up and tore right down again.
They did a casting call but they were very specific, you had to have natural color long hair, a size 6 dress size. Yea right!!! Supposed to start filming this week, too bad I have to work. Maybe I'll get more pictures this week...stay tuned...

  1. How exciting!! You might catch a glimpse of William Hurt or Ethan Hawke. I'm not surprised that your town is a popular setting for movies. It is one of THE most beautiful places in the world, I truly believe. I'm trying to remember if we saw that version of Scarlet Letter? I'm going to watch it, and the other one you mention over to the right >> "Virginia's Run". And also Moby Dick when it comes out. That way I can pretend I'm visiting - ha! :) Please keep us posted on the excitement in your town. We don't have that kind of excitement around here! -Tammy
