Filming for a Netflix limited series starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson was underway in downtown Westfield on Tuesday.
“Enigma Variations,” an adaptation of the 2017 novel of the same name by André Aciman, also stars Alicia Vikander, Riley Keough and Sarah Pidgeon.
Crews were seen filming at Vicki’s Diner, an old-school diner that opened in 1999.
Several blocks on East Broad Street and Prospect Street were closed to accommodate the production.
The series is similar to “Call Me by Your Name,” Aciman’s 2007 novel that was adapted into an award-winning film released in 2018
Taylor-Johnson, known for “28 Years Later” and “Nosferatu,” will play Paul, “a man remade by the lovers who ignite and undo him across six transformative years,” Netflix wrote.
The cast also includes Devon Terrell as Manfred, Nicholas Podany as Harlan and Carl Clemons-Hopkins as Noah.
Vikander will star as Claire, Keough will portray Maud and Pidgeon will play Chloe.
“An intimate yet sweeping portrait of masculinity, sexuality, andmodern love in a world of endless choices, Enigma Variations asks the question: Will we know when we’ve found the one?”
The upcoming series has brought filming to Westfield, the latest New Jersey town tapped as a location.
Production has been spotted in locations across the state, including Brookdale Park in Essex County, Hoboken and Morristown.
In Morristown, crews transformed the Tavern off the Green into a college bar for filming.
