Hollywood is coming to Salem

admin | April 27, 2012

SALEM — Just call us Witchywood.

Hollywood is rolling into town right under our collective noses.

“Grown Ups 2,” a sequel to Adam Sandler’s 2010 “Grown Ups” movie, is coming to Salem.

Well, kind of.

Filming is scheduled to start next month in Marblehead and Swampscott, but the really important stuff will be taking place here.

How do we know? Because they’ve rented a big office in Shetland Park.

“They’re basically looking to do all their set production here,” said John Kelly, a vice president at Shetland Properties. “We’re probably not going to see any of the stars.”

OK, so Marblehead may get Sandler, “Twilight” heartthrob Taylor Lautner, David Spade, Chris Rock and the curvaceous Salma Hayek, but we’re going to be getting a whole lot of goofy-looking, production guys with thick glasses and silly hats.

Hey, it’s a start
