The untitled film is rumored to be about UFO’s and crews plan to shoot scenes along Woodbine’s railroad tracks.

"Woodbine is such a great little community and if you are going to bring aliens you might as well do it here," says Jacqueline LaDouceur, the Manager of Dionysus Restaurant.

The film has brought in more than 150 workers, which LaDouceur has been serving some of them at the restaurant.

"We’ve had a young lady that’s been coming in consistently in the morning to pick up pastries and what not, but she’s handed that over to somebody else," says LaDouceur.

The Mayor of Woodbine says he’s unsure of why Woodbine was chosen, but is happy to see the economic impact it is having on his town and the surrounding area. 

"We are excited about having the best in the industry here and we really look forward. We’ve been working with the production people and communicating with them for their needs ever since November," says William Pikolycky, the Mayor of Woodbine.
