A-List Director Filming New Movie in Hudson Valley Region

Hudson Valley Film Commission shared the casting call earlier this week for a movie called Non-View.  The project is being directed by the one and only Steven Spielberg and according to sources it will take on a Sci-Fi theme.

According to information added to Wikipedia, Non-View is "a UFO film" based on an original idea from Spielberg. So far, it looks as though Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo have joined the cast.

There have been a handful of sightings of the project filming in New Jersey, New York City and Atlanta since the new year. Now it looks like they can add the Hudson Valley to the list of filming locations.

Maybe when Mr. Spielberg comes back to the Hudson Valley for filming this spring, he'll make a stop in Poughkeepsie.

Back in 2022, Spielberg was spotted with the staff from Rosticceria Rossi & Sons. We're not sure where the picture was taken, if it was at one of Rossi's 2 Poughkeepsie locations or elsewhere, but what we do know is that Spielberg enjoyed something off the Rossi's menu.

On Instagram Rossi's wrote "We’ve made lunch for A Lot of people but this is way up there."
