Movie starring Timothee Chalamet filming scenes in Middletown

The production contacted the city of Middletown on Monday requesting permission to film there. Officials with the movie are paying for private security during their time in the city.

There has been traffic control set up on South Broad Street between First Avenue and Reynolds Avenue for scenes to be shot in the area.

The movie, an adaptation of a book by the same name, is set in the Midwest in the 1980s and follows a woman, played by Taylor Russell, on a journey of self-discovery who meets a drifter and falls in love. It is being directed by Luca Guadignino.
