2014 More Rumors from the Lot, Day 1 for Vacationland and more.

Reggie’s 42nd St Tavern has had quite a transformation – From the lovable hole in the wall bar into the “Banana Creamery.” Jason Jones and Natalie Zea join the crew for Day 1 of production for Vacationland! Have an awesome shoot cast and crew!

RUMORS FROM THE LOT – Remember when Banshee made the announcement they would not be returning to North Carolina for Season 4, at the time signs pointed them to Louisiana, but yesterday I got word that they are heading to Pittsburgh. I cannot confirm that yet.

Also, yesterday I reported that if there is a Season 3 for Sleepy Hollow (which is not confirmed, but looks like it is a go), I told you the new location frontrunner was Atlanta. After I posted the blog, I was told by multiple sources, I hit the nail on the head. We shall find out in the next 6 weeks for sure.

More additions to the Sleepy Hollow family. Johnathon Schaech (Ray Donavan, Star-Crossed) has come and gone. He is guest starring as a former Puritan minister, and powerful warlock, Solomon Kent, in the upcoming episode 2.15, “Spellcatcher.” READ MORE

All you Sleepyheads fear not, Sleepy Hollow returns on Monday, January 5th.

ICYMI: Under the Dome: Season 2 is officially out on DVD and Blu-Ray today! READ MORE NOW

THE WILMYWOOD DAILY – 11/06/2014 TBS Pilot for NC, HBO in Concord, and crew jobs in other states.

Boy oh Boy, Hollywood is trying to get in as many projects as they can before our film incentives expire before the end of the year! Thank God! I am happy that so many crew members will be able to pay their mortgages and have a great holiday!

The Untitled Jones-Bee Vacation Project for TBS will be under way next month and they are definitely set for North Carolina. Rumor has it, Wilmywood has got the project!

TBS gave the pilot the green light last month. This scripted comedy pilot from The Daily Show‘s Jason Jones & Samantha Bee is a family road trip comedy about the journey to Key West.

I will keep you posted as soon as I know more.

Where are our Wilmywood folks today?

Secrets and Lies heads to the Chamber of Commerce

Sleepy Hollow is back at Cape Fear Club

The Choice is back on private property today, but they will finally venture to a new location tomorrow!

Now looking into the NC filmmaker’s future. Let’s take a look at 2015. Where do we stand? How many positions can be filled?

– Sleepy Hollow will be wrapping by the end of January.

– Under the Dome will begin prepping for season 3 in late Jan/Early Feb.

–Bolden will shoot into the new year with them possibly going as late as March/April 2015.

That’s all we got right now. Less than 1000 jobs for 4200+ film workers. So until we get North Carolina back in business )and we will), let’s expand into other states and see what is close by and worth looking into.
