For a few days, a portion of downtown Oklahoma City has been transformed into 1950s Texas for the filming of an independent movie.

Casey Affleck donned a light-colored cowboy hat and a dark blue suit Saturday as he walked past an old bank building that was serving as a Fort Worth train station for the filming of “The Killer Inside Me.” Signs directing pedestrians to the trains were posted on the side of the First National Building and a Texas flag flew overhead.

“It’s the first chance we’ve had to give some real scale to the movie. It’s the first time we’ve shot on streets this size with all of the extras,” producer Andrew Eaton said.

The filming, which is about halfway through a five-week stretch in Oklahoma, is the fruitful finish both for producers, who’ve been struggling to get the movie off the ground, and for the Oklahoma Film and Music Office, in its efforts to secure a significant motion picture to be shot in the state.

The film that also stars Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba is considered the biggest movie to be shot in Oklahoma since “Twister” in 1996.
