King posted a tweet on Tuesday saying he was “up in Canada for a few days.”

Up in Canada for a few days. Not many guns, but the health care is amazing. They take care of what’s wrong with you right away. And it’s really cheap. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 11, 2018

According to a Facebook post on the page of local business Joie De Vivre, King was “hiding” in their store Tuesday morning as filming was taking place at the site.

“James Mcavoy, he was here, he’s playing the older Bill. We saw the young Mike, I believe his name is Chosen Jacobs and he’s also in Castle Rock too, which is another Stephen King movie,” said Geldart.
