Ahhh, Gerry so close and still so far.

Thanks Dallas!

I wonder which fangurls have been stalking the set looking for their 'hunk'.

I would imagine....SEVERAL, DK.

Dallas...you're so right. The comments are hilarious!

Hey there Dallas ! -- Thanx for the updates !

hmmm I read that some fan of G's from NC - went there to the set -

to try to catch the G-man & give him their script... interesting ---

well -- hey go for it -- I guess one never knows -- if they don't try..

Well -- Tee -- still Be in NC -- LOL -- oh well -- maybe if they get

to see him at some point -- they could persuade him to bring

his sexy Scottish-self down to NC eventually to film something...

Hey -- I couldn't help but think of the movie - "My Cousin Vinny"

after reading this line from the article --

The movie has lots of extras, some playing lawyers. Robin McCloskey of Newtown, Bucks County, is one of those booked to portray a lawyer in the background. So how does one prepare?

"Just try to look lawyerly." lol !!

(I love that movie -- mind ya ) but that's what the Judge (Fred Gwynne) -

said to Vinny (Joe Pesci) about his leather clad clothes --

hee hee -- "the next time you - entar this cort--rooom -- I expect you to

"Look Lawyerly -- ya comb ya hair, wear a suit ... and that suit better be

made outa .... some kinda ... cloth" !!

Oh -- Tangents --- don't get me started on this movie --

I love the part where Marisa Tomei -- ripps Vinny "a new one !"

about goin' Deeearrr Huntin' --- lol !!

She's cool & is such a trip /good actress...

well -- sheet I'll quit --- LOL !! .. with the tangents ... at least for now...ha ha

Quote :

Michael Nutter, master thespian.
The mayor plays a mayoral aide in Law Abiding Citizen, the thriller starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler.

Viola Davis, an Oscar nominee for Doubt, stood up as Philly's mayor in scenes shot Friday night at City Hall. In one, Nutter overhears his boss complaining about rough treatment from the media. (Like that ever happens to a Philadelphia mayor.) In another, Nutter watches as Foxx's character is sworn in as district attorney. Nutter had no lines, and it was not clear if he would be paid for his work.

After two weeks at City Hall, the film crew moves into North Philly for a few days, and later this week lands at George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Thornton, Delaware County.

Filming ended yesterday at City Hall. Sounds like they are about a week behind in filming. They originally were to film at the prison Jan. 29-Feb. 5.

Apparently Butler was with "a friend" at Vango on Monday.

Law Abiding Citizen, F. Gary Gray's thriller starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, will shoot scenes early next week under the Platt Memorial Bridge in South Philly. The company is doing interiors this week at the old Broadmeadows prison in Thornton, Delaware County. After the South Philly work, the filming will take over the vacant Holmesburg Prison in Northeast Philly for exteriors and then return to City Hall.
