Boston Movie Extra

So here we are July 8th 2009 and it feels like September...what is going on?!? It will feel like summer soon I promise :) Well the great news is that we are all busy once again and it's great to see many familar faces on set! It's as if we were on a very long hiatus and it suddenly became 2006-2007 again! We got Furry Vegence, The Town, Grown Ups, The Fighter..plus more down the pike..does this look familiar? Remember I don't care if you are union or non union you have to show up for these calls and if you can't send in your headshot..don't be too good for background! The more we show Hollywood how united we are it's always another incentive to come here. Background people are needed and are a very important piece of the puzzle. Think about it if it wasn't for background each picture even classics would be dry as bread. So it's nice seeing you all and talking movies and plus thank you for the nice comments and emails about the blog and podcast.

"The fighter" Starring Marky Mark and a rumored Brad Pitt slated to film in Lowell this september is very quiet...very quiet. My sources say that it is pushed back, it's not happening, victim of a non strike??? What ever the case is the listing for the fighter on IMDB is gone also, so who knows what we should all believe. It would be really nice to see this fim made about one of the best boxers to come out of MA. Mickey Ward which if you knew or not you might have already met him on several movie sets already this past year. Let's hope this movie comes to us soon because this project seems to have promise.

Well there are rumors that one of the big movies coming to Massachusetts this Fall is "The Fighter" starring Mark Wahlberg and Mr. Brad Pitt. The story is about famous Lowell boxer Micky Ward. This is not official as of yet but Brad Pitt is rumored to be in this one. Just add two more big name stars to the roster of A-list talent coming into Massachusetts this year!
