A movie directed by “Scream” actor Matthew Lillard is filming around Seattle this week.
Crews were spotted in Ballard, and members of the project tweeted about shooting at the Sunset Tavern.
“Texting live from the #sunset #seattle on the set of #fatkidrulestheworld – Sketches coming!” said artist Amara Kopakova.
The film, “Fat Kid Rules the World,” is based on the popular young adult novel of the same name, and will be Lillard’s directorial debut.
“Set against the backdrop of the Seattle music scene, FAT KID RULES THE WORLD is a coming-of-age story about two dysfunctional teenagers searching for something more out of their completely hopeless existence,” said the film’s facebook page.
There’s word of another Northwest connection on the project with sources reporting that Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready is set to score the film.
There is not currently a release date set.
