Are You Lonely? The Stars Hit The Public Garden

The Lonely Maiden made its way to the Boston Movie Mile today to shoot on the Public Garden. With a star studded cast of Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy and Christopher Walken, the comedy centers on three museum security guards who devise a plan to steal back the artworks to which they have become attached after they are transferred to another museum.

While grabbing a few photos about 100 years from the main cameras, I realized we were actually in part of the scene. All the people around me weren't vague Public Garden visitors. They were actual extras and part of the scene. Kudos to whoever was doing wardrobe because they blended into the winter scene perfectly.

Freeman is becoming quite the Bostonian actor appearing in at least four different Boston films (Glory, Amistad, Gone, Baby Gone, Lonely Maiden). Macy had a role in A Civil Action.

Art Heist Caper Comes to Town in November

According to today's Boston Herald, another major motion picture is coming to Beantown in November. The Long Maiden is a comedy set around 3 security guards who devise a plan to steal artwork at the museum they work at. William H. Macy, Morgan Freeman and Christopher Walken are set to star in the flick.

For Walken, this is his first Boston flick. Macy appeared in A Civil Action in 1997. But for Freeman, this will be his 5^th Boston appearance. Others include Glory, Amistad, Dreamcatcher, and Ben Affleck’s upcoming Gone, Baby, Gone.
