The news of Bradley Cooper shooting scenes for an upcoming movie here in Buffalo has been around the past couple of months and news of a possible collaboration with director Guillermo del Toro came last week.

The rumored movie project in Buffalo may come sooner than we thought, however.

According to WIVB, del Toro was in Buffalo on Monday, visiting City Hall with Mayor Byron Brown.

...“he's in town working on a new project," said Mayor Brown.

News of del Toro and Bradley Cooper potentially filming for a movie in Buffalo by 2020 made the rounds last week. Toronto was also a filming destination for this upcoming project. With del Toro in town though, this looks like it will definitely be happening.

It's so cool to see Buffalo be a place where famous actors and directors want to film.
