Matthew Fox will play Red Dawson
Story by Deanne Stein
Another actor signs on to cast in a movie set in West Virginia.
Matthew Fox is the latest actor cast in the movie about the 1970 Marshall University plane crash. The "Lost" star will play Red Dawson, one of the assistants on the 1970 football team, who didn't make the fateful trip. He joins Matthew McConaughey.
The West Virginia Film Commission says typically this kind of movie brings an economical boost wherever it's shot. "Mothman wasn't even shot here, but the mayor will attest, his town still has people visiting to see Pt. Pleasant, so it has a tourism effect as well," says Pam Haynes with the West Virginia Film Commission.
Shooting in Huntington is expected to begin this Spring.
