any other st. louisans notice this?


the scene when they go down into the well where the omega seed is buried is filmed entirely at the St. Louis city museum. did anyone else notice this? an interesting filming location, for sure. except pretty tacky as well. oh well what can you expect from sci-fi.

Lol, yeah, I noticed that myself. I had heard something about filming for a movie going on threre but I thought it was for something that was gonna get a theatrical release. Oh well, at least Missouri isn't presented as a total joke for once

Actually, anything with Brock Roberts is a total joke.

Actually, quite a bit of it was filmed in St. Louis. My brother had a small part in it as one of the rangers. The movie you are probably thinking about it "The Lucky Ones" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0981072/ with Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins, and Michael Pena. It was called "The Return" but it was changed since Sara Ghellar (sp?) released a movie by the same name earlier. Much of that was filmed in St. Louis and some town in Illinois. My wife and I were extras as US Army soldiers in that one.

Yes. I noticed also. As soon as they went down the chute I noticed it was City Museum!
