Petrolia was glowing as a US film crew got to work on the scenes they’re shooting at Sunnyside Mansion – also known as Fairbank House.

Giant lights suspended from a crane illuminated the old home casting an eerie glow in the area and the historic home. The film makers also deployed smoke in the area leaving a mist hanging in the air.

Residents stood quietly on the sidewalk, watching the crew, with cellphones in hand to capture the action.

Trucks with equipment fill Petrolia Line and a staging area on Tank Street is also full of the giant rental trucks loaded with items for the shoot.

The crews could also be seen at Town Hall, where some of the meals were served.

Petrolia Line is blocked off to traffic from First Ave to Greenfield Street as are several side streets, until Saturday morning to accommodate the shooting schedule.
