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.

Thurs - On Location with the Pink Panther

A Boston suburb called Chelsea is getting a little taste of France this month. The producers of the Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin are taking full advantage of the Massachusetts tax credit by building a full French movie set in an empty warehouse off of the Revere Beach Parkway next to Home Depot.

Boston Movie Tours got a chance to go on location to check out some of the filming and it truly is an amazing sight to see this type of shooting done here in Massachusetts. Rather than film on location in France, the set along with various Boston exteriors will fill in for France.

To give you an idea of the scale, the parking lot is filled with at least 15 film trucks and the inside has various stages set for filming.

We were lucky enough to take a quick picture with Steve Martin. Pictured here are Chelsea’s finest Will Brizuela and Sammy Mojica along with Boston Movie Tours founder Jeff Coveney.

Steve Martin Making 4th Boston Movie

Currently filming in Boston, Steve Martin is making his 4th appearance in a Boston movie in the Pink Panther 2. Martin’s other Boston Movies – Out-of-Towners, House Sitter, and The Spanish Prisoner.

Today, the Pink Panther 2 crew is over at the Wang Center which is being used as a sound stage. I am not exactly positive filming is going on today but they are definitely working on the set.

An interesting tidbit on the movie is it takes place in France. Boston is just filling in for France as the filmmakers are taking advantage of the Massachusetts film tax incentives. Although this Boston made flick may be high on laughs, it will be very low on Boston flavor.
