Bachelor No 2 Filming Wraps Up

Bachelor No. 2 with Dane Cook and Kate Hudson wrapped up filming over the last few days with a restaurant scene at the Castle in the South End.

Meanwhile Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin continues to film over at the warehouse set in Chelsea. Yesterday, the filmmakers recreated a party scene originally filmed at the Wang Center in the theater district. Parts of the Wang Center were recreated. And of course, the whole scene is supposed to take place in France. Chelsea representing Boston representing France. You have to love Hollywood.

Bachelor No. 2 Joins Boston Movie Mile

We had several reports today of Bachelor. No. 2 stars Dane Cook and Jason Biggs being filmed jogging on the Boston Common which is part of the Boston Movie Mile.

Several of our guests got glimpses of these stars en route to our 2pm tour. We tour a special detour by the site on the tour but were a little late. Hopefully we'll catch them while on tour later this week. This movie location hunting stuff is a little like fishing...there one minute, gone the next.

Hollywood Hits Old South Church

Bachelor No. 2 with Dane Cook, Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin and Jason Biggs moved steps away from last week’s filming location (Copley Plaza Hotel) to shoot at the historic Old South Church. It was a little weird seeing everyone dressed in wedding attire on a Monday afternoon; but that’s Hollywood.

Just around the block next to the Boston Public Library was the location of the star’s trailers. No sign of them there though.

Boston Movie Tours was on location and luck enough to grab a couple of pictures including one of Cook wave to the crowd while entering the church (No, he’s not giving the finger.)


Boston local Cook will also be at next week’s Boston Film Festival promoting his Good Luck Chuck movie.

Location of the Day: Bachelor No. 2 and The Women

In the first time in recent memory (and maybe ever), two major movies are filming steps away from one another in the Copley Square area. Dane Cook’s Bachelor No. 2 is using the Copley Plaza Hotel for a several day shoot of a prom scene. You can see from the pics that the room is covered with black cloth to control the internal light.

With an all female cast starring Annette Bening and Meg Ryan, The Women is filming today at the 33 Restaurant and Lounge. Rumored not to have a single man in the cast, this remake of George Cukor's 1939 film looks to be the ultimate chick flick.

Bachelor No. 2 w Dane Cook Takes over Hub

Comedian Dane Cook and Kate Hudson can found around Boston shooting Bachelor No. 2. Boston local Cook plays a guy who men hire to take their ex-girlfriends on bad dates so they crawl back to their boyfriends. The comedy is filming all over Boston in August including the Seaport District/Moakley courthouse area.

And this past Monday, Aug 27, thew crew could be found over at the gentleman’s club Centerfolds near Chinatown. We may have to make an NC-17 version of the movie tour in the future :).
