That's pretty cool. Maybe they needed a coastal city with lots of lighthouses nearby?

I didn't know Ironman 3 was going straight to DVD

my friend down in wilmington said that the studio is pushing a lot harder to get big movies here, I guess there is a new "promoter" type guy at Screen Gems who actually gives a shit. Plus there are supposedly good tax incentives associated with filming here.

Iron Man 3 bought up all of the lots at the studio and it will take almost a year to get all the sets designed. After Iron Man 3 wraps up supposedly they are going to film The Avengers 2 down in wilmington as well

this is all hearsay, but he told me about the Iron Man 3 thing a couple months ago

By stock in Sherwin-Williams because they're probably going to have to coat the entire town in green paint.

Also, it's pretty bad when a Governor holds a press conference to announce that part of a movie will be filmed in their state.

I like how they try to make this comparison:

"The Wilmington area is no stranger to the big screen. For years, it's served as the filming spot for movies and TV series, including "Sleeping With the Enemy," "Weekend at Bernie's," "Dawson's Creek" and "One Tree Hill.""

Ahh Screen Gems, the most unintentionally ironic studio name.
