COLUMBUS, Ohio — A portion of U.S. 35 in Greene County will have short-term closures on Saturday during filming for an upcoming movie.
The Robert De Niro movie “Wise Guys” has been filming in the region. The two-time Academy Award winner will star opposite himself as mobsters Vito Genovese and Frank Costello in the Barry Levinson drama, according to multiple media reports.
The movie, which just started production, is going to cost David Sazlav’s Warner Bros a whopping $100 million to film.
The closures will affect either direction at various times between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on U.S. 35 between North Bickett Road (exit 55) and Old U.S. 35 (exit 62), according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Filming for the same movie also is causing daytime closures on state Route 123 near Morrow in Warren County beginning Friday and continuing Monday through Thursday of the next week.
Access to the highways will be maintained for emergency and first responders.
