MORRISTOWN, NJ — The upcoming indie movie "Miller by Marriage" is filming in Morristown this week, with actors Julianna Margulies and Campbell Scott shooting scenes along with actor/director Ed Burns.

"Miller by Marriage" follows three siblings and their spouses, who are deciding what the next chapters of their lives will look like as they enter middle age. Several other New Jersey towns have been used as filming locations, as well.

New Jersey First Lady Tammy Murphy stopped by one of the filming spots on Tuesday and met the three actors, as pictured above. She was joined by John Crowley, director of the Motion Picture and Television Commission (NJMPTVC), and CEO Tim Sullivan of the Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), as well as Steven Gorelick, senior advisor to the CEO for Motion Picture and Television.
