Charlie's Scars is being partially filmed now in Waxhaw, NC. The story is about a high-level banking exec, who quits his job to breed, train, and donate dogs to families with special needs children.
Some of the Showtime series Homeland was filmed in Concord,NC in the Philip Morris plant. Also the upcoming Hunger Games movies was filmed in Concord at the same plant.
I don't know if the stat still stands, with the relative lack of movies filmed in the last few years, but NC was the third largest film site (wilmington area mostly) behind only California and New York.
We see filming crews in Union County quite a bit. We don't even pay attention to it anymore unless it causes us problems. We had to take a different route to breakfast last Tuesday because there were signs up warning that traffic could be delayed going through Waxhaw. We drove into Charlotte using another road and then forgot to miss the area going home after our trip to Sam's in Pineville. Luckily we just saw the groups gathering near the fire department and the road was not blocked but the law enforcement was there ready to stop traffic if needed.
The Stephen King thriller, "Under the Dome," a tv mini-series, premiered last night, is filming in/around Wilmington.
I have some friends that have hooked up with one of the casting agencies down there, and they've worked quite a bit in some TV shows & movies. They've been in "Revolution," "Safe Haven," "Iron Man," and a few more.
I got a message on FB today about casting for extras for Under the Dome
