Gus Van Sant is filming a new movie, Restless, in Portland, OR and he’s making sure the set remains under wraps.
WizBangPop reports they were asked to remove a few photos they had posted of the “surreal” set for “secrecy” reasons by Sony Pictures. They did divulge that “Sony and Restless Productions (owned by Ron Howard and his daughter) have blocked off several Southeast Portland streets for the last several nights and have moved in some huge crane camera and fog machines.” They added, “the streets were filled with fog as extras and cast members filmed amid tight security some very surreal scenes that supposedly take place during Halloween. A former Wild Oats Natural Foods store has been used as a staging area for some wild extras dressed as nuns and other characters as well.”
Restless stars Mia Wasikowska as a terminally ill teenager who falls in love with an offbeat boyfriend played Dennis Hopper’s son, Henry.
