Earlier this month, we reported that a studio was looking for body doubles for Elijah Wood and Melanie Lynskey for an untitled movie they were set to film in Portland. Well, as is frequently the case with time, it has marched on and now, Elijah Wood is in Portland! How do we know? We've seen the pictures! We've read the Reddit threads!
Melanie Lynskey, the movie's other star, has also been spotted in town, according to Twitter.
Saw Melanie Lynskey at GREEN ROOM. Considered saying hi, but she was talking with friends, so hi @melanielynskey! Welcome to Portland!

The movie is an as-yet-untitled project from Macon Blair, who has actor, writer and producer credits on IMDB but no director credits yet. But according to the Instagram account of what appears to be the child star of the film, Michelle Moreno, he is directing this one:
