First photos of Emma Roberts and John Cusack filming scenes for ‘Adult World’ at SU!

This afternoon, Emma Roberts and John Cusack shot scenes for their upcoming movie Adult World on the campus of Syracuse University.

The pair shot the same scene (between the occasional Upstate NY snow squall) several times in which they walked across the campus (near the Schine Student Center and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications) talking, and at on point holding hands.

In the film John plays Emma’s professor and mentor, a ’90s poet named Rat Billings. Emma’s character is a recent college graduate who longs to be a poet but can only find work in an adult bookstore.

Between takes Emma and John joked around and she even took a few photos of the cast and crew, including this one with movie’s director, Scott Coffey.

For a shoot with an all star cast the production was very laid back. Students were able to pass right through the set (right by Cusack and Roberts) between takes and the PAs were very apologetic as they held pedestrians back during filming.

Adult World is not only being shot entirely in Syracuse, it will also be set in Syracuse. Earlier this week the production spent several days filming on Westcott St and at Recess Coffee House.

They are expected to return to the SU campus next week when crews will film a scene inside the Carrier Dome with the SU prep band. Filming will continue (7 days a week) through March 5.

Check out more photos of John and Emma filming at SU today and be sure to let us know if you spot them! To discuss the shoot with other fans, visit our Adult World Open Thread.
