The scene includes barrel fires and a person scaling the building.... and maybe a couple of cows.

Earlier I had checked my university e-mail and saw this:

"The UNCW Education Building is being temporarily used as ‘The Ohio State University’ for the NBC TV series "Revolution.” The cast and crew are filming in the courtyard tonight (Friday, Sept. 14) beginning around 7 p.m. The filming is expected to last until the early hours of the morning. The scene includes barrel fires and a person scaling the building."

Then I put this to the back of my mind and headed out to dinner and then to the cinema.
The cinema is absolutely surreal. After you purchase your popcorn and tickets from the lobby you enter a room that is virtually identical to that of The Vue or Cineworld. It was, for a moment, as if I was back in Cardiff Central. That was until the movie started and the Americans started wooping and clapping. Us Brits are a little more reserved than that. We watched Magic Mike again. Which, by the way, gets better with every viewing.

After the film we wandered back and thought we'd check in on the film set (thus is my life now!), highly anticipating explosions and people abseiling of buildings. Instead we found a herd of bulls in a confined area and the film grew retaking a scene of a girl simply walking past them. I'm not sure what this says about Ohio if the scene was supposed to be on the university campus!
