[Asnbabe]

I work in downtown chicago in the Civic Opera House...any ideas to what the movie being shot by my office is??? Theres like 8 vans and two set ups already...and they still haven't blocked traffic yet.

Go downstairs and ask someone. They'll usually tell you who's in it too.

Maybe you can get a part in it. Practice up.

These pretzels... are making me thirsty.

It's all in the interpretation. Make sure you sell it.

My senior year they filmed a decent portion of Sweet Home Alabama right next to my high school. That big red "glass shop" at the end is Starr's Mill, hence Starr's Mill High School. It was fun for a couple of days to be able to go over there and watch Reese Witherspoon after school.

Too small for a movie. Its probably a TV commercial.

The new batman movie was geetting shot around there and on lower wacker a little bit ago, could be more of the same. Just asking will usually get them to tell you though.

Man, they film stuff here at USC ALL THE TIME. It's kind of annoying, actually. Oh, and just so you know, pretty much any time a movie claims to be set at Harvard, it's usually just in front of Bovard Auditorium at USC.

They shot a couple scenes from 'Signs' right across the street from my friends house.

We don't get many movies here at Tech, but we did manage to do Road Trip (apparently our library and classrooms reminded them of Ithaca?) and Drumline.

I think it's more likely the characters in that movie reminded them of Georgia. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

My wife is in Road Trip. She's an extra in the frat party scene in the beginning of the movie.

For the record, Tom Green's a tool.

They are shooting the sequel to 'Celtic Pride' down the street from my office building.

You do know that USC has one of the best film schools in the country, right?

Uhm... Yeah. What's your point?

UCSD's library was used as a spaceship in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes II if that counts for anything /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I was an extra in "Mr Holand's Opus" which sucked, and you can actually see me in "The Temp". I think i was 10.

I was in Tuscon when Boys on The Side (Whoopi Goldberg movie) was casting. I could have been a stand-in for one of the guys, but the scheduling wouldn't have worked out. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
