@Rick Wilson – I feel so bad for you bro. You wanted to be a part of this movie so bad. Sucks dude.

I cant wait for this movie, It’s gonna be great. Also how cool is it Mark Walberg and Christian Bale are hanging out with the extras and treating everyone in town so nicely.

This is the last day of filming. Right this second they’re in a backyard in Tewksbury.

They are filming up at the Robinson’s school this week off of Bridge st. Ya know the school on the hill. I think they remade the school cafe to look like the Billerica jail.

I currently work in downtown Lowell At & T and also grew up in the area. I have always been a fan of Micky for many many years. I’m glad to hear that they are finally coming out w/ a movie. They have been filming a lot of the movie in this area one of them being on Worthen St.

Hey Rick,

Unfortunately, they are wrapping up production next week. They shot a “date” scene in Lexington Center over night at the Lexington Flick. Next week they shoot at a local prison and they are all set for that – they did background checks on everyone so they could get access to the prison.

I had seen Boo-Boo around back in the day when I worked at Belvidere Wine – early 90’s. Hadn’t seen him since then and he seems like he’s doing okay. There was a minor incident with him during a scene where he poked Amy in the eye by accident. She was fine and it was really no big deal, although some other stuff on the internet makes it sound like he knocked her out, hehe!

Anyway, it was a great experience and I can’t wait to see how this movie does when it comes out.

Cheers!
