I live in Weirton and my wife told me that the owner of the tanning salon that she goes to has been contracted by Paramount to film the outside of her home. She said they told her the movie is tentatively titled Darlings and it is a sci-fi movie. She was told the reason for Paramount wanting to use the exterior of her home for the film was because her home looks like a 70's home which is the time period for the movie. They are paying her a good bit of $ to film the exterior of her home so I'm assuming that it is not just for general B-Roll.


Should have known they wouldn't tell her the truth. But she sure is lucky to get that money even though she's probably like "WTF!? What is this?"

If they are shooting in September then I'll try to get as close as I can and post some production pics. That is if Darlings ends up being Super 8. By the way train tracks go through the entire downtown and through the steel mill...

 		The Alcelor Mittal factory (former Weirton Steel Corporation) is spooky enough as it is.

 		There's a super-tiny old airport in Weirton, And a cafe with a DC-whatever in front of it.

Also this old bridge (Fort Steuben Bridge) is closed to traffic and could be demolished soon. Maybe it's a old school buy & boom.
