Bellaire Gets Another Movie

BELLAIRE - With the likes of The Silence of the Lambs, tv sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bellaire and last year's Unstoppable, Bellaire is emerging as a new hot spot for Hollywood films. Mayor Vince DiFabrizio told Ohio Valley News today that yet another movie is set to begin filming in the town this summer.


"I got a phone call from Fox Searchlight," the mayor said. "They said that
 they were interested in filming a movie in our town and I told them yes."


The Hills Have Eyes 3 will take place in downtown Bellaire, and will give many people in the town the opportunity to be in another major motion picture.


"We are going all out with this one," says director Wes Craven. "We're going to have a lot of zombies in this one, a lot more than we had in the last two films. The good thing about using Bellaire is that there are a lot of people we can use as zombies. It's a win-win situation because the people are making money, and we are saving money because we won't need much makeup."


Not much information has been released about the film, but it has been revealed that it will star Macaulay Culkin in the lead role. Culkin hopes that the movie will help push him back into the limelight.

"I hope this works out for me," said Culkin. "I've even been living in Bellaire for three years and nobody's even noticed."

Culkin's house (right) will not be used in the movie because director Wes Craven doesn't think that it would fit with the feel of the movie.


"Macaulay's house is much too nice to fit in the film," states Craven. "It's probably the nicest in town and I would like to use the houses on Monroe Street for most of the scenes."
