Poyner Spruill congratulates EUE/Screen Gems Studios on bringing the filming of Iron Man 3 to Wilmington! We’re proud to have helped close the deal!
Gov. Bev Perdue said in a press conference today, “Iron Man 3′ will be made here in Wilmington, NC. How about that?” Gov. Perdue says with the film will come many economic advantages to the Cape Fear. “This is a great day for North Carolina.” Five-hundred-fifty jobs, all the other sub-jobs, the construction jobs, that’s what it’s all about to us here locally. But around the country and around the world it’s about North Carolina’s brand. Today we are Hollywood East, and it starts right here in Wilmington.” Shooting for the film will start in 2012 and ”Iron Man 3″ is scheduled to hit theaters May 2013.
