One of our readers, Beth, sent us a few pics she snapped of Colin Firth and Emily Blunt filming a scene for their new movie, Arthur Newman, Golf Pro in Wilmington, NC this week.

The movie follows two opposites, Mike (Blunt) and Arthur (Firth), who move into an abandoned house together while trying to escape their pasts.

In addition to Wilmington, Arthur Newman is also expected to shoot scenes at the Brunswick Community Hospital in Brunswick County from October 5 through the 15th and in Raleigh and Durham sometime in mid-November.

Check out more photos below and be sure to let us know if you spot them filming at olv@onlocationvacations.com!

Colin Firth and Emily Blunt have signed on to star in Arthur Newman, Golf Pro, which is currently building sets at EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington (the same studio where One Tree Hill is based) and will shoot in the Wilmington area from mid-October to mid-November.
The independent movie follows a man who missed his one shot at living the dream so he decides to fake his own death in an attempt to reinvent himself when he meets a woman who’s also in the process of trying to escape her old life. Together they begin to break into empty houses and steal the identities of the absent owners.

A Smile as Big as the Moon, a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie, will also begin shooting in Wilmington on Sept. 28.
As of now, there have not been any casting calls for extras announced for either film, but if you are interested in applying for a crew position, visit WilmingtonFilm.com.
