Youngstown! I hear your call! Of course, I'm not affiliated with a film, but you know, we can make that work for us.
(Thanks to Joe for pointing out this opportunity.)

UPDATE!!!!!

I couldn't have planned this better. This email hit my inbox this morning

Subject: Film Searching for Locations



To All Tourist and Promotion Agencies:

The Pittsburgh Film Office is working with Dreamworks Pictures as they scout locations for an upcoming, large-scale science fiction film to shoot this fall. They are searching for a large subterranean space in which to build portions of an underground city. The space should be constructed of concrete.

Water storage tanks seem to work for this concept. They have tall ceilings and columns throughout.

Decommissioned military bases may have areas of interest. Missile silos? Perhaps a large food storage facility?

The space can be above ground as long as it is built out of concrete and can be made to look as if it is subterranean. They may also consider an open air reservoir if it has interesting structures in it.

Please let us know if you have any leads regarding any of the above suggested location needs. We know of the closed Nike Missile Sites in the area and are trying to find some contacts for these closed military bases.
We look forward to hearing your suggestions. As always, digital photos you may have on hand are always welcomed.

Thank you very much for time and assistance.

Thanks,
Jessica

It's kind of like being Chuck Woolery setting up a love connection...only with explosives.

I'll be back in TNT....
