GUELPH — There will be plenty of opportunities to do some star-gazing in Guelph next month.

A mini-series starring Oscar-nominated actor James Franco and the popular CBC detective series "Murdoch Mysteries" will both be in Guelph filming scenes in June.

"Murdoch Mysteries" will film for one day in Goldie Mill Park on Monday, while the mini-series "11/22/63," will film for five days at a movie set currently under construction at the corner of Oliver and Huron streets, from June 15 to June 17 and on June 22 and 23.

Christine Chapman, marketing coordinator with the City of Guelph's Department of Economic Development, said it has been told "there is the possibility" of Franco being in the Royal City for filming.

Other scenes for "11/22/63" are being shot in Hespeler and Ayr.

Set in 1902, "Murdoch Mysteries" follows the career of fictional detective William Murdoch, played by Yannic Bisson, as he solves crimes using inventive forensic techniques on the streets of Toronto and occasionally in other parts of Canada.

"Murdoch Mysteries" is filming its ninth season and this isn't its first trip to Guelph, having previously shot scenes on Douglas Street in November 2013.

"They film in small towns all over Ontario so they're used to people coming out and are pretty good about spectators. Sometimes they'll have a spectators' area set up," Chapman said.

Filming is set to take place between 6:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. There will be parking restrictions on Cardigan Street and 40 spots in the Baker Street parking lot will be used by production staff, Chapman said.

The mini-series "11/22/63" is based on the 2011 book of the same name written by master of horror and suspense Stephen King.
