..filming for Ferris Wheel with Woody Harrelson. I think it's so cool that famous people are shooting a movie HERE.
In 2003 they filmed scenes from Falling Angels on my street too.
Have any movies been filmed in your city?

Oh that is so cool!!!

Radio (with Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding Jr) and parts of Forest Gump were filmed in my husband's hometown (Walterboro, SC).

They filmed a short film called The Lottery (with Keri Russel) in my hometown. We had to watch it in school b/c it was a short story we read.

That's pretty much my only claim to fame...oh, my husband met Matt Damon when he came in to do voiceover work at the studio where hubby works. He was such a nice guy apparently!

Parts of We Were Soldiers was filmed on Ft. Benning. Mel Gibson made quite the impression in the area. He ate at 4 Winds restaurant which is a down home burger joint famous for its Ranger Burgers. Yum!

They filmed Grumpy Old Men in Wabasha - only 20 minutes from me! We've been up there and gone to all the places they filmed at too!

I don't think they film movies here in Los Angeles....
Just kidding.

In my hometown in Georgia though they did film scenes from a movie called Mama Flora's Family with Cicely Tyson, and recently they filmed scenes for the HBO movie about FDR. Cynthia Nixon stayed at a friend's B&B.
