MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Don't do a double take if you see the sign on Rt. 35 in Middletown selling gas for $6.28/gallon. And that's not a real gas station, either.
As we reported in January, a TV series is currently being filmed at the former Circus Liquors/Calico the Evil Clown property on Rt. 35 in Middletown. The parking lot was transformed to resemble a gas station, but it's not operational. It's a fake gas station, and NJ101.5 has photos. They are advertising gas for $6.28/gallon and diesel for $7.20.
What's filming there is a Netflix crime series starring Adam Drive. It's called "Rabbit, Rabbit" and filming has actually not started yet; it's supposed to start the week of March 22.
In the past month, film crews built that fake gas station. Driver plays a truck driver who kidnaps people, and he uses that gas station as his base. Expect a lot of filming to take place there over the next few months, starting next week, and Driver will be on site at the gas station.
They will be filming there through late June. Filming will take place from March 16 - June 26.
Here are just a few of the movies that have filmed in Middletown and the Red Bank area in the past two years:
