JJ Abrams and company took over a small town in West Virgina and turned it into 1979 Lillian, Ohio, and there are even reports of there being an Area 51-like set near the town. Filming for Super 8 has begun in the small town of Wierton and already set photos have been pouring in from the internet. This week it was revealed that the film would star Kyle Chandler (King Kong) and Dakota Fanning’s little sister Elle Fanning.

They will be joined by Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Joel Courtney, Ryan Lee, Zach Mills, Gabriel Basso and Riley Griffiths.

There has been a big rumor going around town that Brad Pitt has been seen around in Wierton, but it could just be nothing more than a rumor.

Super 8 is scheduled to hit theaters next summer.
