The trailer for the film "Somebody I Used to Know" dropped early Thursday. Viewers from around Washington state may notice a familiar feature among the promotional footage — Leavenworth.

Good times around the maypole, reindeer, giant pretzels and other Bavarian delights make a brief appearance in the rom-com trailer, also featuring Alison Brie ("Community," "GLOW"), Jay Ellis ("Top Gun: Maverick"), Danny Pudi ("Community," "Star Trek Beyond," and generally an amazing dude), and Kiersey Clemons ("Dope," "Justice League," "Sweetheart").

The rom-com was written by Brie and her husband Dave Franco. It's being distributed by Amazon Studios. According to the film's credits, it has two main filming locations, including Estacada, Ore. and Leavenworth, Wash.

The Wenatchee World noted film crews were buzzing about Leavenworth in November 2021, but little about the film was known at the time.

"Somebody I Used to Know" is slated to be released on Amazon's Prime Video Feb. 10, 2023.

Leavenworth, with its Bavarian aesthetic, has seen its share of film crews over the years, including "Cloudy with a Chance of Christmas" (2022), "Mad Love" (1995), "All I Want Is Christmas" (2012), among others.
