Steven Spielberg has not directed anything on TV since 1985, so when I was on a set piece of his as of yet Untitled TV series he is producing for TNT I was rightfully skeptical when the security guard insisted the director for this set was Spielberg.
Hamilton Ontario Canada (my hometown) has become the newest filming location for the Spielberg Produced project that is currently going by the working title “Alien Invasion”.
I asked to speak to who was “in charge” and the nice fella told me I could take a few pictures from the outside, but I couldnt approach the center of the set.
One of the set workers was mentioning that some of the costume props for the Aliens were “pretty wild with spikes all down the back” but at the time of my visit, there wasn’t much to see other than the post apocalyptic wartorn streets of Hamilton (which might have been somewhere in Massachusetts by some of the car plates)
The Hollywood Reporter describes the series:
Moon Bloodgood, Jessy Schram, Seychelle Gabriel and Maxim Knight have joined Noah Wyle on TNT’s untitled alien invasion pilot from executive producer Steven Spielberg.
The project, written by Robert Rodat from an idea he conceived with Spielberg, is set shortly after aliens have wiped out most of the human population and centers on a ragtag group of soldiers and civilians led by widower Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) who struggle against the occupying alien force.
In the pilot, directed by Carl Franklin, Bloodgood, Schram, Gabriel and Knight all play members of the group.
