Expect drones, pyrotechnics and explosions as film crew comes to Cambridge

People in Cambridge may hear explosions and gunfire next week as crews prepare to begin filming in the city.

According to a news release, the cast and crew are part of a project known as ‘Kestrel.’ Production crews commonly use alternative titles to keep the movie or series a secret.

Crews will prepare for the film shoot on Sunday, May 18 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Monday, May 19 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

The filming dates are set for the following Tuesday and Wednesday before things wrap up on Thursday and Friday.

During the shoot, there will be intermittent traffic delays along Main Street, Water Street and some surrounding areas.

Equipment will also be parked in the north section of the Water Street North Parking Lot, the south section of the Wellington South Parking Lot and the Churchill Pavilion Parking Lot.

When filming begins, people in the area may also see pyrotechnics and drones, or hear electronic gunfire and explosions. Some exterior scenes may also include graphic content.
