TOWN OF LOCKPORT — Filming for a feature-length film will take place today and tonight at the LaFarge quarry at Saunders Settlement Road and the William Gregory Bypass.
The film, "Where Heaven and Hell Collide," is based on a true story and slated for theater release on Memorial Day, 2016, according to the movie's website:
The story of how Jim Peters and his company — T-shirts 4 Troops — have helped 11,000 combat troops. Heroic men and women who have lost limbs, sight, hearing and are left emotionally scarred from the battlefield. In this feature-length film we find Jim; on his first day at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC, where he visits troopers that narrowly avoided death in combat. Jim nurtures and encourages them to live life when most have given up hope and only wish they’d died from their wounds. Jim does it armed with nothing but a Marvel Comic Super Hero t-shirt, love of his fellow man and courage!
The movie is directed by Greg Robbins, who also wrote the script, along with Peters. It stars Dean Cain of "Lois and Clark" fame, as well as Kristy Swanson from the Joss Whedon movie, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," although Tim Clark of the Buffalo-Niagara Film Commission said he doesn't believe either of the stars will be in Lockport today.
The filming at the quarry is to recreate a war scene in the Middle East, Clark said. It will involve military equipment, simulated gunfire and simulated explosions. A notice from the Niagara County Sheriff's Office on Monday was sent to alert area homeowners and passers by not to be alarmed. Filming is expected to begin around 2 p.m. and wrap up at the LaFarge site around 3 a.m.
The movie has a Facebook page showing photos from some filming done Tuesday in Buffalo.
