A scene for "Love & Other Drugs" will be shot at the former Aliquippa Hospital.
The building's owner, Chuck Betters, said filming is scheduled for the final week of September.
The scene, expected to take just one day to film, will be outdoors in the rain. The crew of the Fox Studios drama will erect two temporary towers that can create artificial rain.
Directed by Edward Zwick ("The Last Samurai") and based on the book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman," the movie centers on a pharmaceutical salesman competing in the ruthless business of hawking male performance enhancement drugs. He falls in love with a woman who has Parkinson's disease.
Gyllenhaal and Hathaway, both Oscar nominees, are joined in the cast by Judy Greer ("The Wedding Planner") and Carnegie Mellon grad Josh Gad, who was a cast member in the short-lived, Pittsburgh-set Fox-TV comedy "Back to You."
