Filming for Grown Ups 3 is expected to reach Keansburg, New Jersey, in late August. Mayor George Hoff said he was told the cast and crew would work in the borough near the end of the month.
The Keansburg shoot follows production elsewhere in New Jersey. Adam Sandler and Chris Rock were seen filming in Woodbridge on 3 August, before production moved to Morristown on 4 August.
Keansburg Filming Is Planned for Late August
Hoff said he had received no further details about the Keansburg schedule. Exact filming dates and locations have not been announced. This makes late August the only confirmed timeframe.
Reports also claimed Sandler was seen at Keansburg Amusement Park on 5 August. That sighting was not confirmed and does not establish that filming has started in the borough.
Keansburg's official website still lists Hoff as mayor. The borough has not posted details about Grown Ups 3 filming, road closures or public access restrictions.
The planned shoot would extend a New Jersey production run that has already moved through several locations. In Woodbridge, Sandler and Rock were seen with a film crew on Wendy Road in the Colonia section of the township.
Colonia Country Club was used as a staging and catering area during the Woodbridge shoot. Crews were also seen near Colonia High School before the set was dismantled that night.
Production moved to Morristown the next day. Sandler was seen filming at Rod's Steak & Seafood inside the Madison Hotel. It's where production staff confirmed the shoot was for Grown Ups 3.
