Several high-profile actors are filming a movie in central Illinois this week. 

Shelley Crawford-Stock from the Monticello Chamber of Commerce tells Regional Radio the former Hardee's in Monticello is the site for the shoot.

According to Crawford-Stock, the Monticello Chamber of Commerce is part of a cooperative that seeks to attract executives in the film industry to utilize locations in central Illinois for its sets, and Monticello was exactly what they were looking for.

The movie, called Chili Finger, will feature A-List celebrities like John Goodman, Bryan Cranston, and Judy Greer. 

The story follows a mother whose children have moved on, and she discovers a human finger in her bowl of chili. When she tries to blackmail the owner for money, the situation gets out of control.
