Nicolas Cage's Hub-based film 'Knowing'

While the majority of Nicolas Cage's upcoming flick "Knowing" was shot in Australia, crews were filming exterior shots in Boston last week because the movie is set in, well, Lexington, Mass.

Yep, Cage plays a Hub-based professor who digs up a time capsule that can predict the future at his son's Bay State elementary school.

The film is directed by Aussie Alex "I, Robot" Proyas, which would explain the Melbourne filming locations.

"Knowing" is slotted for release March 20, 2009.
