Jones; President/Executive Director of the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center, 2100? Main Street, Weirton, West Virginia 26062 2) Any additions and corrections would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! 3) Let me know if you recognize any of the local people in the film. 4) I have recently purchased a poor quality copy of the 1983 made for TV movie Heart Of Steel that was directed by Donald Wrye starring Peter Strauss, Pamela Reed and John Goodman that was partly filmed in Weirton, West Virginia. I have a scene by scene listing of this movie. Let me know if you would like a copy of the listing. 5) I would be also very interested in purchasing a copy of the 1950’s movie Conquest of Ungava about the people of Weirton and Weirton Steel. 6) I have a DVD copy of the 1978 movie The Deer Hunter starring Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Christopher Walker and John Savage. This movie which won 5 academy awards including Best Picture was partly filmed in Weirton, West Virginia. I have a scene by scene listing of this movie. Let me know if you would like a copy of the listing. 7) Super 8 was based in 1979 8) JJ Abrams father is from the Harrisburg, PA area. His grandmother’s name was Lillian hence the name of the town in the movie. 9) The train wreck was computer generated. 10) DJM watched them film Friday October 1, 2010 at Main Street during the day and on Fernwood Avenue during the evening. I have a few photos of those locations at the general time of the shoot. 10) Weirton Steel went ESOP in 1983, bankrupt about 2003.
