The Will Smith crew filmed at Braddock Carnegie Library this week

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Post-Gazette readers and staff continue tracking a film crew working in Pittsburgh on the Will Smith movie with the title, “Concussion,” that started shooting in Pittsburgh in October and will film here through mid-January.

Will Smith plays Dr. Bennet Omalu, the first pathologist to detect a long-developing brain injury called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in a former football player.

Pittsburgh is becoming a hub for the film industry. Several years ago, I did see a few moves that would come through now and again, but now it seems that at least a few major movies are coming through Pittsburgh each year. And I'm not surprised. We have great locations with great architecture for filming. There also are not as many people as in New York or LA, so it is easier to get the shots you need without everyone crowding up. I will be interested to see how the industry continues to grow in this area. And, as it does continue to grow, will it change the face of Pittsburgh? That remains to be seen. In a city that's already changing so much, the business that springs from this side of industry could prove to be fruitful as well.
