BRADFORD, Pa. – A touch of Hollywood glamour will be in Bradford, Pennsylvania, for two-night run for the opening of the new movie “Unstoppable.”

The 20th Century movie, which features some scenes filmed on locations within McKean County in northcentral Pennsylvania, will open worldwide Friday, Nov. 12. Bradford will be the place to be with the movie shown on one end of Main Street and one of the actors on hand to greet guests on the other end.

The movie features Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson. Inspired by actual events, the movie is an adrenaline rush fueled by director Tony Scott’s signature mark of propulsive action. It’s a story about ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances, according to information released by 20th Century Fox.

A veteran train engineer and a young conductor, played by Washington and Pine, respectively, race the clock to stop an unmanned runaway train – effectively a missile the size of a skyscraper – hurling towards a heavily populated area.

There will be a unique opportunity to meet one of the actors in the movie

On both Friday, Nov. 12, and Saturday, Nov. 13, movie-lovers will be able to meet Lew Temple, one of the actors in the movie who has also been in other movies such as Waitress and Halloween. Temple will be exclusively at The Option both nights to talk about the movie and sign autographs.

The Option House, located at 41 Main St., Bradford, will host an “Unstoppable” buffet from 5 to 10 p.m. at a fee of $15 including tax and tip per person.

The Option House is a scene stealer in its own right. The Option House, located in the Bradford National Historic District, was originally used as a place where oilmen traded option contracts. It has since been recently renovated to a magnificent restaurant and bar.

The movie will be shown at the Main Street Moviehouse on Friday, Nov. 12, at 4:15 p.m.., 6:45 p.m. and 9 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 13, at 2 p.m., 4:15 p.m., 6:45 p.m. and 9 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 14, at 2 p.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. as well as at 4:15 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday the next week.

The Main Street Moviehouse is located at 123 Main St.

The movie was filmed in various locations throughout McKean County, including Eldred and Port Allegany. Children from the Otto-Eldred Elementary School in Eldred are also featured in the film.
