COLUMBUS, Ind. — The third movie production in eight years in Columbus will begin filming beginning Oct. 21 at the Bartholomew County Public Library and return for more filming there Oct. 29-30.

Most of the movie’s other filming will be done in Cincinnati, according to sources.

The library will serve as an art museum for an “art heist” film which has been mentioned on various film websites within the past two weeks as beginning to start production in Ohio and elsewhere beginning next week.

Though library director Jason Hatton wasn’t at liberty to provide details, the only film publicized online ready to begin shooting with an art heist plot is director Kelly Reichardt’s “The Mastermind,” starring Josh O’Connor. Many will know him from his role as a young King Charles in “The Crown” Netflix series.

Street closures for the filming are expected to be discussed at an upcoming city Board of Public Works meeting.
