Lorraine Bulger, film liaison for the Municipality of Port Hope, remained steadfast though in telling Northumberland 89.7 that “the filming title is Greetings from Fairview,” adding “the project itself is set in the 1960s so that’s what a lot of the set dressing that people will see in the downtown, that’s what’s happening. A Hollywood North Buzz story from February also stated Welcome to Derry would begin filming in Toronto in May and that the working title was Fairview. According to reports, production for Welcome to Derry began last week in Toronto. IMDB states Welcome to Derry “will follow the events in the 1960s, the time leading up to the events of the first film." In fact, Jim’s Pizza on Walton Street has been transformed on the exterior as part of the Chinese restaurant Jade of the Orient featured in the IT films and novel by Stephen King. Speculation, though, is the town is being transformed again into Derry, Maine for Welcome to Derry, the HBO Max prequel series to the modern IT films that also had scenes filmed in Port Hope. Port Hope is gearing up for more filming, which a release from the municipality states is for the production Greetings from Fairview.
