A drugstore in Westfield and a bookstore in Montclair: Here's where In Love was filmed

In Love

George Clooney walked into Baron’s Drug Store in Westfield, New Jersey, on October 20, 2026. The pharmacy has been there since 1936. Clooney was sporting a white beard, waving to the locals who gathered across the street. Annette Bening walked in after him. The drugstore closed for the day. Hollywood had arrived in a small New Jersey town.

In Love is directed by Paul Weitz and adapted from Amy Bloom’s 2022 bestselling memoir In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss – named Time magazine’s number one nonfiction book of the year. Bloom co-wrote the screenplay with Weitz. The memoir tells the true story of Bloom and her husband Brian Ameche after his early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and the impossible choice they made together to honour their love. “Amy’s memoirs are a contemporary fable about love, wit and existential questions,” Weitz told Deadline. “I can’t wait to do it justice with this extraordinary cast.”

Annette Bening plays Amy. George Clooney plays Brian. Clooney also produces. The film is expected in 2027.

Westfield

Baron’s Drug Store at 243 Broad Street in downtown Westfield served as the production’s first publicly documented location. A notice went up at the pharmacy the week before, letting patrons know the store would be closed on October 20 for filming. The town’s Facebook page announced: “Hollywood arrives in Westfield!”

Bening and Clooney also filmed inside Vicki’s Diner on East Broad Street that same day. The diner opened in 1999 and sits in the same downtown stretch as Baron’s. Westfield is a suburban town in Union County, about 40 kilometres southwest of New York City.

Montclair and Orange

Two days later, Clooney was spotted filming on Glenridge Avenue in Montclair – in front of Qi Qi Massage at 225 Glenridge Avenue, then walking up the block to the Montclair Book Center at 221. 

The Sloan Street parking lot, Papillion 25 and Village Marketplace were closed on October 27 for filming. Base camp was set up at the foot of Flood’s Hill. Clooney was photographed at the back entrance of Village Marketplace.

On October 30, the cast and crew filmed around Meadowbrook Lane in Orange, New Jersey.

South Orange Mayor Sheena Collum said filming is expected to run two to three weeks, through the third week of November, though “not every day.” Scenes will be shot in homes throughout South Orange and at locations in the downtown area.

Still filming

Clooney and Bening are still filming. The story they are telling is about what happens when love is not enough to stop what is coming – and about the courage it takes to face that together.

In Love is expected in 2027.

Where was Wicker filmed? The seaside village was built in Hungary

A fisherwoman lives on the fringes of a seaside village – unmarried, stinky, and constantly teased. One day, sick of her narrow-minded neighbours, she orders a wicker husband for herself. That is the premise. Olivia Colman plays the fisherwoman. Alexander Skarsgård plays the wicker husband. And the whole thing was filmed on medieval backlots in Hungary.
