I went to work yesterday morning to find a street 1 block from work was closed off. As I got into work, there was a man with an Under Armour jacket with "The Wire" embroidered on it. We started talking because I asked about the jacket. He told me that he had worked on The Wire and that he is here for a movie. Turns out that he is the location manager for a new movie called Eagle Eye starring Shia LaBeouf (Transformers), Michelle Monaghan (MI III), and Billy Bob Thorton.

We ended up having a bunch of the crew coming in and getting stuff. There was also some "directors" outside looking at the store and the buildings around it. Perhaps the store will be in a movie????

On a funny side note. I had Angelina Jolie walk by the store a few years back, and now BBT is 1 block away

 

ooooh i LOVE billy bob thorton!!....will they still be filming this week???
i wanna come!!

 

Maybe you should send him a vial of your blood... He's into that kind of thing I hear.

 

hah, im no freak. my blood is precious. billy bob is just a major hottie/ good actor....

 

From what I hear the next 2 weeks. NJ and D SE. Have fun.

 

Is that right around the stadium?

 

Near the new one, yes. A few blocks away

 

Followed the link to Eagle Eye and then Michelle Monaghan. Looking at the photos, noticed this one from The Heartbreak Kid:

 

I had a girlfriend who lived in Greenwich Village. They were always blocking off certain streets to film movies. As if parking wasn't hard enough. What got me is they'd close the street to parking, then ask people to park on the street for the shoot, so it would look normal. Well, wouldn't it have been normal to just let people park there to begin with????
