Details on Sylvester Stallone movie filming in Ohio

OXFORD, Ohio (WJW) – Actor, writer and director Sylvester Stallone could be spotted in the Buckeye State.

According to multiple local media reports, the action star’s latest project is filming in Oxford, Ohio, just outside of Cincinnati.

According to the Oxford Observer, filming will take place this weekend and continue through March 2.

According to WVXU, assistant city manager Jessica Greene made the announcement about the film at Tuesday’s council meeting.

“I just wanted the public to know that Sylvester Stallone will be filming a movie in Oxford starting next week, and possibly even this Saturday. So if you see them around town — they’ll be filming Uptown, and they’ll have our fire and EMS team there because they might have a small explosion,” she told council.

Multiple locations in the city will be closed during the filming.

The movie, titled “Alarum,” began filming earlier this week at Hueston Woods State Park, the Observer reported.

Here’s the movie’s synopsis, according to information released by the city earlier this week:

“After the CIA discovers the whereabouts of two rogue spies, who have not only gone off-grid but have become husband and wife, all hell is unleashed on their winter honeymoon cabin resort in the woods by a consortium of international spy organizations who are after a ‘flight pill’ aka a hard drive, and all whom suspect the two may have joined a worldwide network of rogue spies known as Alarum.”

While the City of Oxford reported that the movie starred Sylvester Stallone, the film is not listed in his upcoming projects on IMDB.

There’s no word on when the film will be released.

The movie is getting more than $5.8 million from the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit Program. Those credits were announced earlier this week.
