A new science fiction film is set to begin filming in the Edgewater Beach area starting tonight.

The film titled “Captive State” is set to be released next year and stars Vera Farmiga, Ashton Sanders and John Goodman. According to IMBD, the movie is ‘Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extra-terrestrial force, Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict – the collaborators and dissidents.’
