Pics from ben Affleck's The Town

Thanks to our movie location hunter buddy, Joey D (who is kicking my butt in Fantasy Baseball), we got a couple of pics from the set of Ben Affleck's The Town. The movie about four bank robbers is being shot all over Boston. Today, the filmmakers are shooting on Bunker Hill Street in Charlestown.


The last time I remember filmmakers using a laundromat in a Boston movie was in The Departed. Unlike The Departed which converted a Beacon Hill laundromat into a Jack Nicholson mob hangout, it looks like Monument Laundry is actually going to be...... Monument Laundry.

Hip Hop Hits the Boston Movie Scene

From Boston based Gone Baby Gone to The Town, hip hop artist Slaine is filming again in the city. Funny, I just watched Gone Baby Gone the other night and was thinking how great the casting was.

Slaine will be playing a bank robber in Ben Affleck’s The Town, a movie based on Chuck Hogan’s novel “Prince of Thieves.
