Boston Movie Extra

Word is that "The Surrogates" will start filming here next week, and Bruce has been spotted all around Boston. All I can tell you is that I am so psyched about this picture because at least in my memory for being in this business for close to 20 years I never heard of a sci-fi film this big come into Boston. Usually up till now it was mostly period pieces ie. Little Women, School Ties, Kennedy's of Massachusetts, Amistad, then it got a little urban ie. Civil Action, The Firm, etc. Now we have all kinds of different films but not a big sci-fi film! I am just really interested in how they are going to do it here because it is based on a comic book.

There will be an open call this Saturday for the new Bruce Willis film shooting here in Beantown! IF YOU WENT TO THE FIRST OPEN CALL YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ATTEND THIS ONE. This is the info... The open call will be held Saturday, April 12 from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM at: Boston University George Sherman Union- Metcalf Hall 775 Commonwealth Ave- 2nd Floor Boston, MA 02215 They are seeking performers to portray ages 18-30 who are athletic, attractive, and energetic individuals.

This is hard to believe but it is awesome to know that there are 3 yes 3 open calls this weekend. Two will be held on Saturday One for the Bruce Willis film "The Surrogates" in Boston and the other for the Rick Garvris movie in Lowell. The next day on Sunday there is an open call for the new Kate Hudson film "Bride Wars". This is totally exciting when was last time you ever saw this happening in this state. This place has truly turned into Hollywood East, let's not jinx it :)

CP Casting is holding an open call Saturday at Felt for “The Surrogates,” a Disney sci-fi flick starring Bruce Willis that begins shooting here in the spring. Tentative casting time is noon to 4 p.m. Stay tuned for further details.

Bruce willis will be filming a movie in town called "The Surogates" sometime this spring or summer. The plot description given by IMDB: Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates. sounds pretty cool just wondering how they would make a science fiction here in Boston makes me scratch my head. But now with CGI anything is possible. Hey, if they can make Pink Panther 2 that the majority of the film was filmed here in Boston look like Paris, I am sure it will be no problem. Can't wait for the call on that!!
