Chillin: On the Set




Lights! Camera! Action!

So today while I was on my lunch break I happened to see a film crew setting stuff up in the Back Bay area of Boston. I was pretty curious to see what was going on but I had some business to take care of (you know how I do ;-).) But on my way back I saw that there were way more people there. I was looking around to see what was going on and I saw Ben Affleck!!!...Ok I wasn't that excited to see Ben but it was pretty cool to see them filming a movie. They were asking for extras to be apart of the movie. I was extremely tempted but I had to get back to my job. It wasn't anything serious just walking and standing roles but still I could have been immortalized on film! Ok not really but it'd be a cool story to tell.

It's not everyday that you see movie crews setting up in Bean Town So I was curious to check out this seemingly random occurence. It seems Ben is shooting a movie called "The Town". I also found that Bostonians can look to expect more filming done in the Bean Soon. Like for instance Mark Walhberg is finishing a movie about Boston Brawler Micky Ward is Charlestown. Also this year "The Social Network" is being shot in Boston featuring Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland, Adventureland) and Justin Timberlake (you know still have an N*Sync CD laying around).




It seems that this will be a trending topic in boston and not just on Twitter. Word on the street is they are building a new studio in Plymouth MA that will be fully equipped to shoot T.V. shows, Movies and do the Post Production Editing. This is cool for a couple reasons...


1. We're sure to see a ton of famous people here in the Bay State.


2. This will bring a ton of jobs to the area including production specialists and opportunities for extras!


3. Now that there is a suitable area for filming I can finally get my reality TV show off the ground...right. Well anyways it's still Cool Beans...
