According to WSTM, filming of Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, starring Tom Cruise, begins today in the Greene County village of Athens, NY.

The news channel says the scene to be shot will feature crowds fleeing a Martian invasion and will include a 168-foot car ferry. Athens was chosen because of its riverfront location.

Last Friday, Cruise and Spielberg were on set in Naugatuck, Connecticut filming scenes for the movie.

Paramount Pictures is releasing War of the Worlds on June 29th.
