Filming at Bova's in the North End

Looks like Bova's Bakery in the North End is making it into another Boston movie. In Fever Pitch, Red Sox fanatic Jimmy Fallon lived above Bova's. This week, actors Anna Faris and Chris Evans filmed a scene outside Bova’s for a movie now filming in the hub called What’s Your Number?

The Zookeeper Release - Sooner Than Later

A bumped-up release date for The Zookeeper can be taken as a sign that yet another awesome Boston movie will be a box office competitor next summer! And though Furry Vengeance didn't really have what it took to rake in money "paw" over fist, this one just might. Talking animals could make all the difference! Especially if the animals have the voices of Adam Sandler, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Favreau. I remember the buzz around the movie filming while on the tour-beat last season and apparently there's still buzz enough to push the movie's release up sooner than later. So you can look for The Zookeeper in a theater near you July 8th 2011! (Shown is Kevin James filming around the Boston Common last summer.)

NEW MOVIE FILMING ALERT!


What's Your Number? is reportedly scheduled to be filming in the North End of Boston in roughly two weeks (5/26,27) according to the awesome folks at On Location Vacations. The new flick stars Anna Faris of Scary Movie's fame and Massachusetts' own Chris Evans. Some bigger names are attached to the project as well. IMDB & The Loaded Gun both have my idol appearing in the movie... Joel McHale! Yay! (maybe he'll do an episode of "The Chowder" here! haha) And also featured in the movie will be Zachary Quinto and Andy Samberg. So if you're around the north end in a couple of weeks, keep your eyes peeled for the lights, cameras and action!

 New Boston Movie Furry Vengeance Now In Theaters

furry_vengeance_poster.jpg

In the newest Boston movie to be released, Furry Vengeance has all the kid-friendly, skunk-spraying humor you could ask for.  It was shot in a couple towns around the Massachusetts area including Topsfield, Danvers and Ipswich and partly in Boston.  It's the typical story of man vs. nature, kinda.  Brendan Fraser's character continually gets out-witted by woodland creatures trying to protect their environment from the actor's construction project.

Judging by it's lack of real success at the box office this past opening weekend, you may not have long to see it in theaters!  It reportedly took in roughly six millions dollars... yikes.  That stinks!  Brendan Fraser looks so depressed in the poster, must have had to sit through so many screenings of his own movie!

If you want to check out the trailer you can visit the movie's official site, www.furryvengeance-movie.com

Casting For Wicked Summah

Well what is there to really be said about Wicked Summah?  Already you're either for it or against it.  Personally I am dying to find out what beantown-bred hooligans they end up casting for the show.  What show???  Wicked Summah!  Haven't you heard?  It could be you!!!

Cape-Cod-Map.jpg

The same casting genius that put Snooki and The Situation together is working magic on Cape Cod this summer, with a Massachusetts-style Jersey Shore show!  Doron Ofir has been casting Massholes from all over the Bay State on the Internet.  They are looking for audition footage of why you should be having a wicked summah.  Think you have what it takes, or know someone who does?  Check out the official casting website and keep your eyes peeled for cameras on the cape!

 Blockbuster Boston Movies Coming This Summer

knight_and_day_poster.jpgWhen June rolls around, Boston will be all over the big screen.  I can't wait!  June 25th is the release date for two Boston Movies going head-to-head for tops at the box office. 

Knight & Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is the front-runner to grab the top spot in my mind.  I believe it is the biggest-budgeted movie to ever be filmed in Massachusetts... thank you tax credit!  From the Jacob Wirth Restaraunt in the Theatre District to the roof of a speeding car on top of the Zakim Bridge, the movie filmed all over town.  Knight & Day looks action packed with over-the-top humor.  

The Adam Sandler comedy Grown-Ups opens the same weekend.  The movie's cast is comprised of a who's who in the world of post-snl success.  Tina Fey, Chris Rock, Tim Meadows, Norm MacDonald, Maya Rudolph, David Spade and Rob Schnieder.  Add to that the comedic stylings of Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi and Kevin James and you have a hilarious "coming of age" story.  GrownUps325.jpg

And if you want to see hometown heartthrob Ben Affleck, you'll have to wait until the last weekend of summer, but it should be worth it.  His sophomore effort at directing comes in the form of The Town based on Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan.  I personally can't wait to see it considering I got to see Ben himself in action during the movie's filming last fall! Should really be a wicked Boston movie summer! 

Trailers available by clicking through the movie posters!
