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!

Shot guy, Sounds like you had a ball. If you see B00-BOO again let him know I said hello. I wish I had a small part in this film too. I’m from lowell lived in the projects…I’m living in San Diego now but I’d fly home for a shot to be in this…any help?

I was at Buck’s when they shot scenes there both days. I am a featured extra in the movie doing shots with Amy Adams at the bar. She was great to work with and Mark and Christian were both really cool too. I have to say that everyone there from all the other extras to the crew to David O. Russell who picked me and Boo-Boo to do ’shots’ with Amy were extremely polite and friendly and great people. I feel honored to have played a small part in this movie especially since my roots are in the Highlands (Bellevue Street) and I heard many stories about all these bars along Chelmsford Street – especially Marty’s for Party’s!
Sorry, no pics from me – easiest way to get fired on set! I can’t wait to see the movie when it’s completed. Good for you Micky and Dicky!
