According to WPG Talk Radio https://wpgtalkradio.com/ a new movie is filming in Cape May County this spring. Here are the details from WPG Talk Radio
Cape May has suddenly become a movie-making hot spot.
Famed E.T. director Stephen Spielberg and Universal Pictures are producing a new UFO-centered flick and they’ve reserved a week of filming in Cape May County in March.
The movie has a star-studded cast including Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Colin Firth (The King’s Speech), Josh O’Connor (Challengers), Eve Hewson (Flora and Son), and Philadelphia native Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), so we should soon be having some local star-sightings.
Is Cape May New Jersey’s Hollywood?
It was just last May when scenes for the recently released the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet were shot in South Jersey, with Cape May being used as a stand-in for Newport, Rhode Island in scenes depicting the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
Now, Academy Award winning director Steven Spielberg, who grew up in New Jersey and based his recent movie The Fabelmans here, is bringing his new project, rumored to be called “The Dish“ into town.
