ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico – There are several A-list celebrities in the land of magic right now producing movies that are currently being filmed.

Filming is back in full swing as production recovers from the writers and actors strikes.

Celebrities spotted include stars like Matthew McConaughey, who was spotted in Ruidoso going for a drive. Onlookers soon got a glimpse of him before they were turned away so they could continue filming.

It appears that some other passers-by in Ruidoso found the “missing bus.” Production of the film continues throughout the rest of the week.

According to the Ruidoso Film Office, more than a thousand local extras have been cast for the film. This includes local theater managers Sierra Cinema, Selena and Mark.

Two hours west, filming has wrapped on Truth or Consequences for acclaimed director Ari Aster’s film “Eddington.” The cast includes Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal.

Pascal was seen at local cafe Mile Marker 7, taking pictures with people.

According to the New Mexico Film Office, the production employed more than 300 New Mexicans, 230 crew members, 59 principal actors, and 105 background talent. The film is expected to bring in at least $52 million to New Mexico’s economy.
