    On Sunday, Plainfield Patch reader Ashley Reitz shared some photos of extras getting ready to film scenes near Aux Sable, as well as helicopters that landed nearby.

    Reitz said the crew was filming scenes around 5 p.m. Sunday, although Tatum and Kunis were not part of the action.

    Another star, however, was spotted near Plainfield Sunday. Sue Zarbock shared a photo of "Game of Thrones" and "Lord of the Rings" actor Sean Bean greeting fans on Plainfield Patch's Facebook page. Bean co-stars with Tatum and Kunis in "Jupiter Ascending."

    According to the Kendall County Sheriff's Department, the filming is scheduled to be on site through Aug. 6.

    IMDb.com describes the movie this way: "In a universe where humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, a young destitute human woman is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because her very existence threatens to end the Queen's reign."
