Netflix To Film Next 'Major Motion Picture' In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ — Lights, camera, action. A major motion picture from Netflix will be shooting in Westfield beginning next week, announced Mayor Shelley Brindle on Friday.

Brindle noted that Netflix has asked the Town not to publicize any details about film prior to the release.

Filming dates:

• April 8 through 10, production will take place at a home on East Dudley Avenue between Lawrence Avenue and Elm Street
• April 16 to 18, production will take place at Wilson School and the immediate area (which is over spring break)
• April 18 production will take place on Sherwood Parkway

During the production, the affected areas will experience street closures, and equipment trucks may be parked on adjacent streets during filming hours.

Detours will be in place with police on hand to assist with traffic flow as needed. Drivers in the area should expect some delays and plan accordingly. Additional details about these road closures will be communicated via Nixle.

During this shoot, residents can also expect to see cars, trucks, and trailers in the Lord & Taylor parking lot. This is to used ensure that these additional vehicles – used for production equipment and catering – are not parked overnight in residential neighborhoods.

"We are extremely grateful that Netflix has chosen Westfield to be a part of this film, and can’t wait to see the final cut!" said Brindle.
