Work to dismantle a movie set at Cape Forchu in Yarmouth is ongoing.
Crews continue to take down the temporary structures used for the Hollywood film ‘The Lighthouse.’
That includes a mock lighthouse and several outer buildings.
Access to the Cape Forchu Lightstation and Leif Ericson Park has been off-limits to the public since late March.
The interim CAO of the Municipality of Yarmouth, Greg Shay, says a barricade will remain near the Lobster Pound Road until the set is fully taken down.
“It’s going to take a bit more, probably longer than anticipated to restore things. The target is May 18th, but that’s a soft target given potential weather conditions, but it should be pretty close to that, give or take.”
The crew is restoring the site to its pre-production state.
Shay encourages people to use the park once it opens, but to remember that the ground may be a bit tender for a while.
Final scenes for the film are being shot in Halifax
The film will star Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, and is directed by Robert Eggers.
