The quaintness of Warren and Bristol, the architectural and sensory connection with the past in each while still being modern and proximate, has made the area an oft destination for the film industry and that is holding true once again as scenes for the new, big budget motion picture, "Remain," are being shot here last week.

The "romantic thriller" is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, whose most recognizable works are "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs" and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Phoebe Dynevor and Ashley Walters.

In Warren, filming took place inside The Coffee Depot on Main Street. In Bristol, exterior scenes were shot.
