Star, the Newspaper of Cleveland County, NC, reports that The Hunger Games is set to begin filming this Wednesday in Shelby.
Mike Bankhead, owner of Shelby Farm & Garden, said the operation thus far hasn’t affected business or drawn a lot of attention. The P&M Warehouse is located directly behind his shop, separated by a now closed road.
“I hadn’t really seen anything,” Bankhead said, noting that the crew came into town about a week ago. “We walked around a little, saw some people out there.”
But the road closures haven’t impacted business, he said, and no customers have come in asking about the movie.
Crew members were seen carrying 2x4s beside a train car and working with hand tools Monday morning at the film site. Two Travelynx buses were parked nearby.
