On Thursday, Riley provided council members with a schedule for when neighbors might expect to hear live gunfire at the high school. On one day of filming, the live gunfire is expected to continue until around 4 a.m.
Mayor Keith Brady questioned why the gunfire couldn't be filmed before midnight.
"That's just the way the scene is laid out -- we can't do it at one particular time," said Riley.
Riley did say, however, that if they start getting complaints from neighbors, they would work out an agreeable solution, or stop shooting.
"We'd like to at least give it a shot," he quipped.
The gunfire will also be sporadic throughout the night, as not every scene involves shooting, he said.
Riley and his crew have notified affected neighbors twice – and plan to a third time – and provided them a contact number to report complaints.
"I've yet to receive a phone call," said Riley.
Brady was also concerned that filming would take place three nights in a row. Riley explained that the first night of filming would primarily take place inside the high school gym.
The AMC crew has also asked for permission to turn out the street lights on the block and shut off the traffic signal temporarily in order for the scene to truly appear post-apocalyptic.
Riley said they plan to film at that location July 7 and 8 and July 11 and 12. Site preparation has already begun. Filming will take place during the day and night.
In the scene, according to Riley, survivors run into a hoard of zombies at the high school, which will be staged to look like an abandoned Federal Emergency Management Agency camp.
Sounds epic! Can't wait to see how this scene turns out!
