Film crews working on “The Pale Blue Eye,” a Netflix thriller starring Christian Bale, returned to the northern Butler County area this week to shoot scenes at Moraine State Park and the Portersville area.

Crews previously worked on filming for the project in December at McConnells Mill, Lawrence County, at the McConnells Mill Covered Bridge and other locations in the area.

A spokesperson for the production company said crews returned from Monday to Wednesday to shoot additional scenes featuring snow and winter weather.

“We had a tremendously successful few days. We got everything we needed, and we’re just moving on,” the spokesperson said. “We needed very overcast and deep snow, a real deep winter look, and we got that.”

Filming in the Butler area is finished, the spokesperson said, and the crews have returned to Pittsburgh to work on their stages.
