SUPERMAN SCOOP: Filming Near Aurora, IL in Late July
This from CBM scooper Andy...
Hi, I just figured I would let you know that the new Superman movie is scheduled to begin filming in the small town of West Chicago, IL on July 26 and 27. This is not the west side of Chicago, but rather a small town near Aurora, IL. The West Chicago city council just had a board meeting where
they agreed to close streets in town for "Autumn Frost" on those days. Don't know what streets yet...but I'm sure there would be signs on the main streets for the trucks to go to. Just letting you know that this. I think the Plano scenes start filming around August 5th.
and...
I do have some more information. According to the city of West Chicago's website, during their board meeting they said that filming was scheduled to be at the business park next to the Dupage County Airport in West Chicago, IL on the 26th and 27th. This is a very tiny airport with small planes, but they could be using it for airplane scenes since they wouldn't have to worry about tying up traffic at O'Hare or something. Or they could be using the business park to film Daily Planet scenes, as it is a high-tech office complex that's fairly new. I live in the Chicago suburbs, so that's why I've researched these things.
