EDITOR’S NOTE: In a previous iteration of this article titled “NE Studios brings bestseller to life on Spray Avenue,” we incorrectly stated that the film was an adaptation of Ann Napolitano’s “Hello Beautiful.” We regret the error and will provide updated information as it becomes available.
A waterfront home on Spray Avenue was a hive of activity as filming entitled “Hello Beautiful” took place last week.
The Devens-based New England Studios set up a base in the oceanside home to shoot the film, according to crews gathered outside the Spray Avenue home. Trucks with the “NE studios” emblem could be found on the street as filming occurred inside the home and on its front lawn.
Due to non-disclosure agreements, few details are known about the director, release dates or stars in the film.
NE Studios is located on 15.7 acres of land in Devens. The studio complex features four sound stages, each measuring 18,000 square feet. Some of the recent high-profile productions filmed at NE Studios include:
“Little Women” — The latest adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel recently shot scenes at NE Studios. The film featured an all-star cast including Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Meryl Streep.
“Dexter” — The hit Showtime series about a serial killer returned in 2021 for a limited series revival, which was filmed at NE Studios. Michael C. Hall reprised his iconic role as the title character.
