1. This fall, another movie is expected to begin shooting in Cincinnati. Filming for "The Bikeriders," which is based on a 1967 Danny Lyon photography book, will bring actors such as Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy to the city. According to Film Cincinnati, the film will share the story of a 60s midwestern motorcycle club as it changes from a community for outsiders into a more sinister gang over the course of a decade.
