Yeah, I saw they'd be in Miami, New Orleans and Vegas. Tell us what you saw when they're done, or what you heard.
shareI met Mr. Bill Cobbs at Harrah's New Orleans tonight. He was such a humble friendly person. Found out they are filming in the Garden District tommorow.
shareThey were also filming at the Sapphire Club in Las Vegas. During one of the scenes I watched, the cops came in & arrested George Segal, Rip Torn, Peter Falk & others. Looks like a great comedy. I can't wait for this to be released!
shareI was an extra in New Orleans at a place called "The Dock" on Lake Ponchartrain which i understand was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. It was a bar scene which was supposed to have been somewhere in Florida. Our scene was done early in 2005, Peter Falk, Rip Torn, Bill Cobbs and George Segal were all in the scene, which took 15 hours to shoot. I get the feeling that this movie will never get done at the pace they were working on that day. Seems like Peter Falk was the one who kept holding up the scene, and demanding new takes. He came across as a real prick. However Rip Torn and Bill Cobbs couldn't have been nicer, and were happy to talk to all the extras. George Segal just ran for his trailer between takes and talked to nobody. That scene will probably only take 3 minutes of screen time but took 15 hours to shoot...over and over, the same crap. I don't think anyone in the cast respected the director at all.
I'll be interested to see what ends up in this film...if it ever gets released.
