From the Mod at SKMB:

"Steve's going to be on the set for Under the Dome most of this week"

[herbertwest]

Sounds like a cameo

[Bryant Burnette]

Sounds like a cameo

He'd be pretty good for the flight instructor whose plane gets crumpled into a ball at the beginning.

[Jimimck]

Ha now that would be awesome!

Love that idea.

But he is producer so isn't normal that he should be on the set?

Not as much as you'd think, no. Depends on what their role is. King's, I'd imagine, is largely honorific.

[Bev Vincent]

Yes, his visit could be just a show of moral support for the production. Not saying there won't be a cameo, but a set visit doesn't guarantee one.

[you ever seen a ghost?]

Yes, wasn't he involved in the writing of the project supposedly?

[Bev Vincent]

Not that I've heard. He wrote the final script for Cell but I don't think he's had anything to do with this.

[you ever seen a ghost?]

think i may have misread. some of the press releases had variations of this: "Under the Dome is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television. Neal Baer, Stephen King, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Stacey Snider and Brian K. Vaughan, who wrote the television adaptation, will serve as executive producers. Acclaimed director Niels Arden Oplev will direct the first episode."

it makes it look like he had some writing credit.

Doesnt mean either that there wouldnt be any cameo

[Coulrophobia]

Probably more about the $. The more the name is attached the more $/Residuals you make from the various perks that go along with it. Best case back in the day was to reach 100 episodes so it could go into syndication. Now with the internet, Amazon, and iTunes it is more profitable right out of the gate. Not even going to get into Season DVD sets.

[Bev Vincent]

Yeah -- poorly phrased sentence. The qualifier about writing should stick to just Vaughan.

[Ari_Racing]

Steve at the set!

[Coulrophobia]

Thank you for providing this. Nice to see him there, and involved.

[Bryant Burnette]

That's Mike Vogel behind him, right? Looks like he'll make for a good Dale, at least visually-speaking.

[Ben Staad]

Nice photo, Ari. Thanks for posting it.

When Steve Harrelson, the former state representative from Texarkana, accepted an offer of $7,800 for the domain name of his blog, UnderTheDome.com, in January, he thought the New York company that bought it was planning some kind of political site.

But he learned the truth from a 15-second ad while watching the Super Bowl last month: UnderTheDome.com is the new website for CBS' 13-part series based on the Stephen King bestseller, "Under the Dome."

"I saw it live. And then my phone started blowing up with texts from friends," Harrelson told Arkansas Business.

Harrelson said he had not really been misled because the buyer, a group from Staten Island called Falsone, had always been "vague" about its plans.

"But had I known [Steven] Spielberg, Stephen King and CBS were behind it, I would've been a little more shrewd," Harrelson said.

Still, the price he did get wasn't bad. Even now he describes it as "a pretty good chunk" for a domain name that he originally purchased for $100 in time for the 2007 legislative session.

Seems like a little behind the scene clip from Dean Norris. One cow was in the wrong place when the Dome came down.

After a two-week hiatus, crews for the CBS production “Under the Dome” will return to Southport for shooting Thursday, in three key locations they visited in February and one new one.

The science fiction television series focuses on the town of Chester’s Mill, Maine, which suddenly finds itself cut off from the rest of the world by an impenetrable barrier. The series was adapted from a 2009 novel by Stephen King, who serves as one of its executive producers.

King made an appearance on the set last month. No word if he will be in Southport this time around.

Old Smithville Burying Ground will be the site of filming in the morning, with shots of a “walking scene” on the grounds from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Intermittent closures of Rhett Street between Moore and Nash are expected during that time period.

Mid-day shooting around Trinity United Methodist Church at Nash Street and Atlantic Avenue will commence around 10:30 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m. Crews shot scenes around the church and front yard of the post office last month, those involving a brown truck and an announcement from “Big Jim” Rennie, a central character of the plot. On Thursday, signs will be added to the church and surrounding area, with intermittent closures on Nash and Atlantic during filming hours.

On Bay Street between Atlantic and Caswell avenues, driving scenes with cameras on the side of the road will be filmed from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Afternoon and evening work will center on a residence in the 100 block of East Bay Street. On Monday, crews installed tile on the floors of one of the rooms of the home, painted the walls of another and dressed it as a bedroom. The downstairs has been set-up as a “funeral home,” with filming to occur between 2 and 11 p.m.

The production will utilize Taylor Field for parking and set-up and the Southport Community Building for meals during the day.

On Monday, overhead shots of Southport will be conducted via a drone equipped with a camera, but no crew work is expected to take place on the ground.
