Lights Camera....Closed Road?



Well we are in the movies ... "The Crazies" (kind of ironic name...huh) is being filmed about 2 miles from our house! They have had hwy 34 closed for about a week off and on. The pictures are from wide angle lens as we can't get that close. They were filming an accident scene. I guess the "crazies" were chasing each other! The Crazies is a remake of a horror film that takes place in Kansas (guess Iowa was cheaper) where a virus or some kind of germ is released and everyone gets "crazy". They were filming mostly in Lenox, which is one of the schools I work at. They filmed at their baseball field and in the school. The school had to take off all of their billboards from the baseball field before they could film. They had three rooms in the school tied up for about two weeks...But in the long run, hopefully the school and communities made some money. They will also get to see themselves on the movie as alot of locals were extras on the movie. I just hope they reopen Hwy 34 soon or they may have another "Crazy" on their hands!
