Is more of Hollywood going to come to Chester County?

Recently, downtown West Chester, Immaculata University and West Chester University had a little touch of Hollywood, with film crews and cameras everywhere for the filming of "Our Lady Victory" about the championship 1972 Mighty Macs, of Immaculata.

It seems that more projects may be coming to Chester County and the greater Philadelphia area in the future. Currently, M. Night Shyamalan is filming part of his latest thriller, "The Happening," at G-Lodge Diner, located on Valley Road in Phoenixville. The movie has brought Mark Wahlberg, John Leguizamo and Zooey Deschanel to the up-and-coming town.

This weekend, we're running a story about why people are starting to shoot movies here. According to a producer I talked to who worked on "Our Lady of Victory" and some folks at the Greater Film Office of Philadelphia, people are coming here because of the county's varying scenery, including West Chester's quaint, historic feel, as well as the vast countryside that exists in other parts of the county. And with movie studio ideas being floated for the Philly area, as well as tax credits for film projects, it is likely movie cameras and gigantic trailers will be coming here more often.
