‘I’ll Be Gone in June’ movie to film in Las Cruces this spring
A new movie production is coming to Las Cruces in March – feature film “I’ll Be Gone in June.”
The film is a co-production in Germany and the U.S. written by Katharina Rivilis (“Triangle of Sadness,” “Je Suis Karl”) and produced by Léa Germain (“Paris Texas,” “American Renegades”).
“We’re so excited to see this European co-production coming to Las Cruces and their story come to life,” Keagan Karnes with Inspirado TV said in a news release.
According to the New Mexico Film Office, “I’ll Be Gone in June” follows the story of Franny, a 16-year-old German student on exchange to the U.S. following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
“Instead of settling in the metropolitan areas of New York or California, she ends up in a small town in New Mexico. In the endless desert, Franny, the ‘alien,’ meets military host families, bored teenagers, strange characters of all kinds, and a soul mate – the melancholic Elliot, who, despite his young age, seems to have failed in life before he even crossed the threshold of adulthood,” the NMFO release reads.
However, time is in short supply before Franny must leave New Mexico.
The production has yet to announce the director or cast members to the public, though the film office noted that over 50 New Mexicans will be employed on the project. This will include 25 crew members, 22 principal actors and 10 background talent members all residing in New Mexico.
The movie is set to film in Las Cruces and the surrounding area in March.

Virgin Galactic is partnering with the nonprofit group Operation Period to research menstruation in space.
The company plans to launch flights next year, and one of them will focus on the effects of microgravity on menstruation.
Two women researchers are currently training for the flight.
They say they hope to reveal how future space travel could affect hormones and the menstrual cycle, especially over long durations in space.
Grant’s Thursday Evening Forecast
Showers and thunderstorms will continue in eastern New Mexico tonight into Friday. Breezy winds will bring an elevated fire danger in the western half of the state.
Thunderstorms are firing up Thursday afternoon along and east of New Mexico’s central mountain chain while gusty south winds over 30 mph are driving an elevated fire danger across western parts of the state. Storms will continue spreading across eastern New Mexico through this evening, bringing locally heavy rainfall, lightning, small hail, and gusty winds. The winds will weaken later tonight, but showers and thunderstorms will keep going across eastern New Mexico overnight into early Friday morning.
A few spotty storms will redevelop Friday afternoon across eastern New Mexico, with a couple near the Texas state line capable of turning strong to severe. At the same time, breezy southwest winds will ramp back up across western New Mexico, with gusts over 35 mph creating another round of elevated fire danger. Storms will push east out of New Mexico Friday evening while winds gradually ease overnight.
Quieter and drier weather takes over this weekend. Temperatures Saturday afternoon will cool a few degrees but still stay near average for late May. Breezy afternoon winds will continue Saturday before lighter winds and warmer temperatures return Sunday.
Moisture will start building back into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a slight chance for thunderstorms near the Texas state line. Monday will also be the hottest day of the warming trend statewide. More moisture spreads into the eastern half of the state Tuesday, increasing storm chances along and east of the Rio Grande Valley by afternoon. Even deeper moisture arrives statewide by Wednesday and Thursday, fueling more widespread showers and thunderstorms through the middle of next week.
