Diane Keaton, William H. Macy Spotted In Cranford Filming Movie Scene

CRANFORD, NJ — Downtown Cranford saw some star-studded appearances on Thursday, as actors Diane Keaton and William H. Macy were in town filming a scene for a new movie.

On its Facebook page, Downtown Cranford shared that Keaton and Macy visited Cranford Theater and Craven BBQ — a Portuguese barbecue joint in town — on Thursday for a few hours, filming a scene for the film "Maybe I Do."

The feature film, shooting in Montclair and Cranford areas from Feb. 22 to March 29, will star Keaton and Macy, along with Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey, according to backstage.com.

Backstage also recently announced on Feb. 17 that the production is currently looking for stand-ins, ages 18-70 for all the leads.

Keaton is best known for her roles in films, such as Oscar-winning "Annie Hall," mafia drama "The Godfather" and romcoms like "Something's Gotta Give" and "The First Wive's Club."

Macy is most known for playing downtrodden characters in films like "Fargo" and "Boogie Nights." He has also garnered a lot of attention for his role as Frank Gallagher in the television show "Shameless."

Theater owner Doreen Sayegh said it is a great opportunity to have a movie filmed in Cranford.

"We are excited that the Cranford Theater will be highlighted in this movie and are appreciative of the time and effort the production made to keep everything running smoothly,” Sayegh said.

According to Downtown Cranford, Craven BBQ owner, Isidro Rodrigues, also got to play a small part in the scene that was filmed.
