Paramount Pictures is filming a mystery project titled Little Falls in and around Camden, New Jersey, including on the Battleship New Jersey. Production is expected to run into early July.
The Wildwood Video Archive blog reported on Tuesday, June 9, that sightings of a large barge with camera equipment and a military-style helicopter have fueled speculation about the film’s scale and setting.
Details about the cast and storyline for Little Falls are largely under wraps, with no official announcements on starring roles or precise plot elements.
According to the Wildwood Video Archive, casting notices reveal production is taking place in and around Camden through early July. Dozens of paid background actors are being hired from New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Extras for the production include military personnel, refugees, civilians, and “post-apocalyptic” survivors.
Overall, the Camden area is solidifying its role as a growing hub for big-budget productions, drawing ongoing investment and interest from major studios. Expanded tax incentives, varied landscapes, and easy access to New York and Philadelphia have been viewed as advantages for the region.
Recent projects, like Steven Spielberg’s science-fiction film Disclosure Day, have already tapped several Jersey locations for filming, including Woodbine, Tuckahoe, Buena Vista, and Upper Township.
