THIS IS NOT A DRILL! The incredibly talented actress Jenna Ortega has been spotted in Auckland working on an upcoming Taika Waititi film.
Waititi is directing the film adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel ‘Klara And The Sun’, and guess who's snagged a lead role? Jenna!
The filming has taken over High Street in Auckland's CBD all weekend and is said to wrap up today.
A pic from Stuff shows Jenna strolling around nearby Jean Batten Place, rocking an all-black vibe with shades.

And shoutout to the brave X user who snapped some bird's eye view shots of the crew on bikes, even if they got told off a few times for it!
“Got yelled at like 3 times for taking photos,” they wrote.
Natasha Lyonne, Amy Adams, Simon Baker, Mia Tharia, Harry Greenwood, and even Aran Murphy (yep, ‘Oppenheimer’ star Cillian Murphy's son) are starring alongside Jenna.
Maybe that’s why Cillian and his family were reportedly spotted chilling at cafes in Grey Lynn last month.
Jenna is no stranger to our shores having previously stayed in Wellington for three months while filming for Ti West’s horror ‘X’.
Chatting about her love for our beautiful country in an interview with WIRED, Jenna said: “I would genuinely move there.”
“I love their appreciation for their culture, the Māori people, and how they make a conscious effort to keep it alive,” she added.
Stay as long as you like this time 'round gal, we’re happy to welcome you with open arms!
