Watch: New clip from Cincinnati-shot 'Carol'

It's been more than a year since the production wrapped on Todd Haynes' "Carol" in Cincinnati. But when the cameras stopped rolling in 2014, the buzz on the Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara project started building.

The adaptation of "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith premiered to glowing reviews at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival – and has since collected acclaim and awards at festivals and screenings across the world.Excitement surrounding the film will reach a feverish pitch on Nov. 20. That's when the romantic drama will be released to a limited number of theaters in United States.

The story centers on the relationship between a young store clerk (Mara) and a married woman (Blanchett).

Cincinnati was cast as 1950s New York. And the city's transformation has been widely celebrated. Most recently, Bob Strauss of Los Angeles Daily News noted that "production designer Judy Becker ("American Hustle," "Brokeback Mountain") does an astonishingly convincing job of transforming Cincinnati and its environs into 1950s New York and the Midwest, where Carol and Therese go on one of the great American road trips."

And what we see in "Carol" will almost be exclusively real Cincinnati scenes: According to an Entertainment Weekly piece, "every shot was filmed on an actual location," except for the hotel-room love scene, which was filmed on a built set for privacy. The crew filmed in and around Cincinnati for seven weeks last year.

In October, Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission announced the local premiere date of the film: Dec. 12. More details will be announced.

While we wait to see "Carol" in local theaters, here's a close look at what Cincinnati locations we've spotted in the teaser trailer.

First 10 seconds: Mara and Blanchett appear to be sitting in booths at Maury's Tiny Cove in Cheviot.

11 to 13 seconds: A yellow taxi cab appears to drive on Seventh near Elm Street Downtown. See that clock from the Shillito's building?

14 to 18 seconds: The windows on the old Shillito's building were decorated for Christmas.

19 to 21 seconds: Production crews transformed Eden Park overlook into a Christmas Tree stand.

24 seconds: The closed Duke Energy's Beckjord plant in New Richmond.

25 seconds: Look closely behind Blanchett's head in the left corner of the screen. Looks like the front of the Hamilton County Probate Court on Ninth Street.
