The Union Depot has been in the media spotlight recently for the progress being made to restore the landmark and the federal support for the proposed high-speed rail line.
But now our transportation landmark is basking in the bright lights of Hollywood. Filming began yesterday at the Union Depot on the new crime drama movie, The Convincer. The movie, which stars Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, and Billy Crudup, is about a salesman’s search for a rare violin.
The Union Depot was bustling with activity all day with extras filming a scene at the train station. The scene was a perfect way to envision what the Union Depot will look like after the renovations are complete.
