Steven Spielberg Films New Movie in Cape May

Cape May, New Jersey, is set to host filming for Steven Spielberg's latest project, tentatively titled 'The Dish' or 'Non-View,' which is a UFO-themed movie starring Emily Blunt and scheduled to shoot from March 10-14, 2025. The local casting agency is seeking extras, with no acting experience required, offering $216 for an eight-hour shift. This follows Cape May's recent success as a filming location for the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown,' which garnered local excitement and economic benefits. Hotelier Curtis Bashaw noted the buzz around the upcoming shoot, highlighting potential boosts to the local hospitality industry. The film is expected to release in May 2026 and marks another collaboration between Spielberg and New Jersey, which has become increasingly attractive to filmmakers due to tax incentives. Cape May's unique Victorian architecture and coastal scenery make it an appealing backdrop for diverse film projects.
