A movie is getting filmed on my street!

[Gamerlord]

"Boardwalk empire"

Thats the name, there are signs all over the place, next week, boardwalk empire will be filmed on MY street!

And maybe even in my house.

My father called the studio, the film is set in the 1920s, this house was built around that time. My dad offered to rent the house out for them to film it in.

You must disrupt it.

[Nameless]

You must disrupt it.

Yes, it's the only logical solution.

[Gamerlord]

You must disrupt it.

Why would I want to? :smallbiggrin:

[Pharaoh's Fist]

Yes, it's the only logical solution.

With fire.

[FoE]

Are they finally adapting Monopoly into a movie?

[Starscream]

That's neat. You'll get some cool stories to tell, anyway.

Shawshank Redemption was filmed all around my hometown. The prison (Mansfield State Reformatory) is about two blocks away from my house, downtown was used for the shots in the city, Malibar Farm contains the field where Morgan Freeman finds the gift left by Andy, and my high school math teacher can be seen as an extra in one scene.:smallbiggrin:

It's about the only thing my town has ever had going for it. At least it makes for interesting field trips. I have a picture of myself standing under "Brooks was here - So was Red", and inside Andy's cell.

[Trog]

Wow! Very cool! Say hi to Martin Scorsese and Steve Buscemi for me. :smallbiggrin:

No, it is a 1920s mafia film.

BREAKING NEWS FOLKS!
Its not a movie, its a television series! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk_Empire_(TV_Series))

[SurlySeraph]

There was an episode of Law and Order filmed in my lobby, part of Vanilla Sky was filmed a block from my school, and there was a photoshoot for an ad for Tumi, a company that makes expensive luggage, using the front of my building. And I've seen camera crews within a few blocks of my house probably 5 times for the course of the years.

New York. :smallbiggrin:

[BRC]

With fire.
With Flaming Bears.

It is the only reasonable response.

[Gamerlord]

New York. :smallbiggrin:

NEWWWWWWW YOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRK! :smallbiggrin:
*Starts singing "New York" *

[BRC]

I have a friend from New York who freaks out whenever NY shows up in a movie or TV show we're watching. I'm like "Listen, you're from one of the, if not the, most common film settings in the world, you don't get to be excited when it shows up on screen".

[MethosH]

TV Shows are filmed on my street all the time.. I kind of live on a "good for shooting tv shows" neighborhood

[Syka]

Enjoy. :) As one who is becoming involved in film, I pleeead with you, if for no other reason than to aid the producer in keeping some sanity, make life easy and DON'T disrupt anything. :smallwink:

It should be fun saying "I live there!"

[Gaelbert]

Sons of Anarchy is set near my hometown. And Cool Hand Luke took place in the countryside around my hometown as well.

[Krade]

A part of Too Fast, Too Furious was filmed on the street where a bunch of people who went to my high school lived. They all got pictures with the cars and actors and stuff. I think it was on Big Pine in the Florida Keys. I never actually watched the movie though, so I'm not sure.

Movies don't get filmed in Indianapolis. The one movie (aside from Hoosiers) I've seen where Indianapolis is "in it" was Eagle Eye. Then the address that they were going to popped up on the screen (I think it was something like "56 E 72nd St." I was thinking, "I wonder what they are going to do in an upscale residential neighborhood." Turns out, according to Hollywood, "upscale residential neighborhoods" look remarkably similar to downtown Chicago.

[Sneak]

As cool as it would be to have a movie/TV show filmed in your house, would that really fun at all? Having tons of random people invade your privacy and not being able to be in your house for however long they use it?

Still, that is pretty awesome. :smalltongue:

[Thes Hunter]

For some reason they like to file post apocalyptic movies in my current town. :smallbiggrin:


And yes, one of the film crews was robbed at shot gun point. Only furthering the stereotype.

Don't worry, I wouldn't disrupt it if I was held at gunpoint.

That was actually just an extra who was very serious about staying in character.

EDIT: Also, I suppose I should mention that stuff gets filmed here. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StargateCity)

That's 'cause you're in D-Town. It is a post-apocalyptic setting.
Also, mysteriously enough, parts of Ford (Fort? I forget) street moonlight as Transformer battlegrounds.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Foyle's War was filmed all around East Sussex, and the film My Boy Jack was filmed in Hastings. There's probably something else I can't think of right now as wel.

Which state?

[Rutskarn]

Large portions of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes were filmed at my university, l UCI. I literally walk under, past, and through recognizable areas in the film on a daily basis.

[GallóglachMaxim]

Well I hope they don't keep you awake at night with shouting and giant spotlights like this lot (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481452/) did when they filmed next door.

I INTEND to stay up late so I can watch the process of the show getting filmed from my bedroom windows.

The lake scene from the Godfather (2?) was filmed at a condo my dad owned for a while.

When I was in like second grade the movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Day_%28film%29 was filmed at my school. The wikipedia article seems to lie about the location a bit.
