Why 'Blue Mountain State' Filmed In North Carolina
"That a wrap @BMSTheMovie! SO MUCH FUN, the best cast & crew, such dedication & hard work, love you all! BLUE MOUNTAIN STATE COMIN IN 2015!" Brooks tweeted Dec. 15. He also shared the news on Instagram with a photo showing himself holding the director's clapboard.
Ritchson also shared the news on Twitter, and informed fans that it might take a few months to edit the film, but it was definitely on its way.
"I never thought I'd live to see this day, but it's last day of filming #BMSTheRideofThadland. After today, we start edit for a few months," he wrote.
James Cade also spoke about the movie on Twitter, telling his fellow cast and crew members that he already missed working with them again.
#bmsthemovie is over and I'm already missing everyone. Thank you to the small army that made shooting so fun. Thank you North Carolina," he wrote before adding "@OmariAkilNewton @robramsay77 @alanritchson @THEEdarinbrooks @iamromanski @Eric_Falconer @frankieshawisag too many countless more to thank."
The film earned nearly $2 million through the Kickstarter fundraiser, and is expected to pick up where the original Spike TV series, Blue Mountain State, left off after it was pulled from the network following a three-year run.
The exact plot of the film has not yet been revealed, but is expected to continue the story of Thad (Alan Ritchson), Alex (Darin Brooks), and Sammy's (Romanski) senior year of college at the country's fictional top football school.
The movie is also supposed to star other familiar faces that appeared on the TV show, including Denise Richards, Frances Shaw, Kelly Kruger, Sam Jones III and Ed Marinaro.
Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland is expected to open in theaters in Spring 2015.
