According to Cincinnati.com, George Clooney will begin filming Ides of March, about a Democratic governor campaigning in presidential primaries, in Cincinnati, Ohio next month.

Clooney, who directs and stars in the film, personally scouted two local locations that will likely be used in the movie: Lunken Airport and Memorial Hall.

“Memorial Hall is being used (for the film), but I don’t have an exact date yet,” said Ray Henry, Memorial Hall Society operations director. “He (Clooney) really loved the building. He said, ‘I’ll see you soon. This is a great spot,” Henry added.

Clooney’s team has also explored the possibility of using a Lunken hangar as a sound stage.

Shooting will start in February, and go into March, says Jacquie Loughery of Dream Casting who will handling extras casting for the movie.

Many extras will be needed if Clooney decides to film campaign rallies in Cincinnati and an open casting call for extras and small roles will come “very soon,” Loughery added.

The movie also stars Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright and Max Minghella.

Ides of March will move to Michigan in March where Clooney will wrap up filming.

  24. I grew up on Chase Ave in Cincinnati, OH. I am very interested in acting. I feel I’m a great actor and take acting seriously. I am a published author and I am a screenwriter. I entered a screenwriting contest and my script placed 42nd out of 100 out of the entire US and Canada. The contest was through Writer’s Digest in Cincinnati, Ohio. The film is also registered with the Writers Guild.
    When writing my script, I acted it out so that I could feel it come to life. I feel acting out your own work allows you to connect with your characters & teaches you how to act efficiently because you have to give those characters different personalities. It also allows the writer to gain the emotional experience the reader or viewer gains when making that connection.
