Filming has already taken place at the Snetterton race track where some spectators had a chance to speak to the director when he took time out from filming.
Ron Howard has directed a number of Hollywood blockbusters including Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code, where he filmed scenes at Lincoln Cathedral.
Gerald Parkes, owner of the Playhouse Cinema in Louth is looking forward to showing a film which has a local connection.
He said: "American films which are perceived as British often do get the biggest audiences.
"This will be my third film with a local connection over the years. In Keighley I showed the Railway Children and in Harrogate I showed All Creatures Great and Small where we were the local cinema for James Herriot. The local connection saw the theatres being full all the time."
