Oscar Winning Director Brings Movie to Nebraska



An Oscar-winning director plans to shoot much of his new movie in Nebraska. Alexander Payne, who directed "About Schmidt," "Sideways," and "The Descendants," said filming of his next movie - tentatively called "Nebraska" - will begin this October. Bruce Dern and Bill Forte will star in the story of a father and his estranged son travelling from Montana to Lincoln. Payne says his production crew will be based in Norfolk. Laurie Richards with the Nebraska Film Office says the film should provide an economic boost to the state because Payne plans to hire local actors and crews when possible.
