Southie Sees More Filming this Past Thurs

The movie trucks were setup all along I Street in Southie on Thursday. As we were on tour, we could not not tell exactly where they were shooting but The Quencher Tavern was in the center of activity.

Our best guess is the movie was Real Men Cry with Ethan Hawke, Amanda Peet and Donnie Wahlberg. Real Men Cry has been filming all over Southie on a daily basis.

And if the filmmakers were using The Quencher Tavern, it wouldn't be a coincidence. The Quencher Tavern was used in the 1998 local gangster classic Southie. That movie also starred Peet, Wahlberg and South Boston native who is directing the current flick.

South Boston Sees Real Men Cry

Ethan Hawke's new movie rolled into South Boston this week. Filming started this past Monday on Real Men Cry in the M Street area in Southie. The gritty crime flick, written and directed by Southie native Brian Goodman, also stars Mark Ruffalo, and Amanda Peet.

Murphy's Law, Boston's latest filming hotspot (Gone Baby Gone) almost got involved in the flick serving as a place for the cast and crew to eat between takes. But apparently Murphy's was just under the size requirements.
