Here’s a very first look at Meryl Streep in character on the set of “Great Hope Springs” in Connecticut. Edit: With many thanks to Martine, lots of additional pictures have been added!

According to this source, “Great Hope Springs” begins filming its scenes in Stonington next week, according to borough Warden Paul Burgess, and will continue until the following week. The shooting schedule, which was not finalized by Thursday afternoon, will not be made public, he said, due to security and crowd-control issues. Streep and Jones will be in the borough, but not comedian Carell, who has already shot his scenes inside his movie-set therapist’s office. “All of those office scenes have already been filmed in Norwalk,” said Burgess. Much of the film work will be done inside, but Burgess said it will still be obvious what is going on. This is not the first movie that has been at least partially shot inside Stonington’s borders. “Remains,” a post-apocalyptic zombie flick being produced for the “Chiller” network, was shot in Mystic earlier this year. More famously, “Mystic Pizza,” the movie that launched Julia Roberts’ career and still brings tourists to Mystic, brought Hollywood to Stonington in the late 1980s.

Here’s the official poster for the upcoming “The Iron Lady”. Doesn’t it look great?

Here’s a little tidbit from an interview with Abi Morgan, who penned the script for “The Iron Lady”, in The Independent. While the article is mostly about the British series “The Hour”, she briefly talks about working with Meryl on “The Iron Lady”.

Another Morgan-penned feature to be released in the new year is The Iron Lady, the hotly anticipated Thatcher biopic starring Meryl Streep. She found the actress to be hugely impressive: “I worked a little with her and she’s just amazing: so finely tuned in decision-making. The great gift of an actress like her is that she’s very down to earth, and true to what she does.”

According to the Connecticut Post, scenes for the movie “Great Hope Springs” will be shot in Milford later this month, an employee of the production office said Monday; she declined to say what locations will be used. The movie, which has a December 2012 release date, is using Mystic and Stonington as its principal locations, but has also shot scenes in Norwalk and Darien. Ellen Woolf, the production director of the state Office of Film TV and Digital Media, referred questions to the Norwalk office of GHS Productions. The movie is one of four now filming in Connecticut, according to the state Department of Economic and Community Development which includes the film office.
