Filming of Dustin Hoffman Movie Underway in Connecticut

You could see Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates and Debra Winger in Connecticut.

A Hollywood movie starring Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates and Debra Winger has been filming in Connecticut and filming is underway at Yale today.

The film is Boychoir.

According to IMDB, it’s about an 11-year-old orphan from Texas who winds up with a boy choir on the east coast after his mother dies.  It follows his battle with a demanding choir master, played by Hoffman, who pushes the boy to discover his creativity through music.

NJ.com reports that the story was inspired by American Boychoir School, a school founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1937, which has been located in Princeton, New Jersey since 1950. http://www.americanboychoir.org/

Bates plays the school’s headmistress, according to NJ.com.

The movie is filming at Yale for two days and much of the movie is being shot in Connecticut.

The American Boychoir’s Facebook page says they are participating in the filming and have shot in two locations in Greenwich.

One represents a school gym in Texas. The other represents a rehearsal room at a New York City cathedral and a social club in Philadelphia.
