Stanley the star of the film

Light Between the Oceans adapted from the M. L. Steadman book was filmed in Stanley in 2014.   Dreamworks came to town and transformed it, a lot of  locals were extras. It certainly was an experience.    We have been waiting to see the finished results, and now the trailer has been released as the movie is due for release later this year.  It stars Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vicander and  Rachael Weisz, and I think you will agree that Stanley looks good too.
