LYNN – Massachusetts native Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg gave a nod to his roots by filming a movie in Lynn this week.

The movie star filmed scenes for an untitled project at the G.E. Field on Summer Street on Sunday, according to social media reports.

Production signage was also posted along Summer Street, and a truck from Massachusetts based equipment rental agency Above the Line was seen on Avon Street.

Meanwhile, the film’s base camp with trailers from Haddad’s Inc, crew parking, and holding for extras was at the parking lot of Saint George Greek Orthodox Church.

Cast and crew members were then spotted filming scenes at the intersection of Dearborn Avenue and Raddin Street on Monday. There, they used a bus stop that was built specifically as a set piece for the film.

Lynn resident Steve “Fuzzy” Herrick said that he was out on his morning walk at the bike bath near Dearborn Avenue on Monday, and he decided to check out the scene.

“I just wanted to see what was going on. I don’t know too much about the whole thing, but I did see photos of [Wahlberg] playing basketball up at G.E. Field on Sunday, and people were talking about the movie,” Herrick told The Daily Item.

He added, “I know that [Wahlberg] is a local guy. He’s up there when it comes to movie stars, so I think it’s a good idea. I think it’s good for the community. Hopefully it puts Lynn in a good light.”

As for Herrick’s previous impressions of Wahlberg’s work, he said he is a fan of the 2012 film “Ted,” while his wife is not.

The reason why Lynn was selected to be a filming location for Wahlberg’s upcoming project is currently unknown. The title, plot synopsis, and other talent involved in the film are also currently being kept under wraps.
