As we recently reported, Jason Reitman’s next project, Labor Day, will begin filming in the Boston area next month, and this week a few more details about the movie’s filming locations has emerged.

The movie, starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, is based on Joyce Maynard’s novel of the same name.



Labor Day will shoot scenes in Acton, MA on June 25 and August 22, 2012. The scenes will take place at a private residence on Piper Road which will play Winslet’s character’s home. Another scene may be filmed at the Acton Senior Center where Winslet’s character will teach an exercise class.

If you spot Labor Day filming in Massachusetts this summer, let us know about it at olv@onlcationvacations.com!

UPDATE: They may also shoot Shelburne Falls, MA as early as the first week in June though this still seems to be in “rumor” status. There are more details here.

  1. Hi, I’m interested in being an extra in the movie. I’m local and located in the Acton area. 5’8″ brown hair, brown eyes. Photos available upon request. Have been an extra in Mall Cop and The Invention of Lying.

  2. I am a senior who works out at the Acton Senior Center (Mass.) If you are in need of authentic Acton senior who excercises at the center, I would like to participate as one of your extras.

  3. Looks like they are filming shortly in the old BJs headquarters offices in Natick, behind Dicks and Christmas Tree Shop off of Rote 9.

    • Thanks Amy!Does it look they are filming there now or maybe next week? I just want to be able to add an update, thanks!!

  11. I actually teach fitness classes to seniors in Marlboro, Hudson and Southboro. If you are looking for any help with training her (Kate) to teach classes, I would make myself available! 🙂

  13. Filming is wrapped up in Shelburne Falls and Buckland. They spent a lot of time in these two connecting towns as well as Ashfield at Res Gate Farm.

  17. Anyone know the filming schedule for the rest of the week? Heard Mansfield for tomorrow but I’m hoping they’re back in Natick at some point.

  22. i believe they are filming at the lotus right now, they were setting up earlier when i drove by. i’m not sure if they are filming tomorrow, if anyone knows post it!

  23. I just drove down Pper Street during my lunch break. Even though it’s pouring out, they are definately filming. The cops are keeping traffic moving so I didn’t get to take a picture.

  25. They are also filming right now. I was visiting my cousins and they were filming down the street so we went to look. Afterwards we got to talk to some of the actors/actresses

  26. They’ve been filming on Piper Rd in Acton, MA.

    There’s a sign that says “road construction: expect delays” but it’s not road construction, there are fake “shelburn falls police cars” from the 70s or 80s, people pushing filming equipment around, and teamsters.

  33. I heard they would be in the Fine Arts theater in Maynard… but this was from a friend on facebook and I actually found this site googling to try and verify it!

  34. They were filming at the movie theater in Maynard last night.I went down town last night to pick up dinner and sure enough they were filming and all the townies were gathered around and the high school idiot wanna be’s were running around acting like complete morons as usual!! Despite the annoying townies being out in force and the high school fools acting like fools as usual It was still really cool to see the set and all the classic cars though. Even saw Kate Winslet acting for a bit!!

  36. I Am from Natick Mass and live right in down town, would love to have me and my family as extras! We take our three girls walking every night right through down town. please let me know!!!

  37. I know that they’re filming in downtown Natick starting on Monday, July 13th. I hear they’re going to be using a local thetre, studios, ice cream shop, and bakery as well as neighboring streets for shooting scenes. My mom works in one of the buildings they might be using so if you have any questions I can probably answer them, as I live down the street they’re filming on.

  39. They are filming at an ice cream shop called Park Street Ice Cream in downtown Natick at some point..This may be pretty obvious…but the ice cream shop is on Park Street near the Natick commons
