Last week, Rhode Island Film & Television Office Executive Director Steven Feinberg confirmed that director Wes Anderson will begin filming Moonrise Kingdom at various locations throughout Rhode Island and Aquidneck Island this spring.
Middletown, RI officials have also confirmed that the vacant John F. Kennedy Elementary School on West Main Road in Middletown will serve as the production offices for the film. A pre-production crew has already started setting up the film’s production offices at the vacant school. Though it has not been confirmed that Middletown will also be a location for the film, it seems likely.
Moonrise Kingdom was written by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola and stars Bruce Willis, Owen Wilson, and Edward Norton. The movie is about a pair of lovers who flee their New England town.
