Just saw the trailer for the new Ron Howard movie starring Vince, Kevin, Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder.

Other then the name change for the movie anyone else have info on the movie filmed in Chicago?



Any of you who were chosen as standins for the portion filmed at the United Center during a supposed Blackhawks game have any updates?

God that looks horrible.



I was picked out to be on camera with Vaughn by one of the AD. When they brought me over there, his boss recoiled in horror. I hope that cunt has herpes now.

I was asked to come in and declined. Wife said I was nuts, but really I had no desire.

For those of us who know you we know that you are a big, warm, fuzzy and cuddly bear of a man (well at

least I do after rooming with you in Philly) but you know that your first impressions tend not to be

of a Brad Pitt type. Just sayin'



And don't use God on these boards......... you should know better then that!

I think the question is how dumb of a movie will you go to if it has the Hawks in it? Even if it looks pretty bad. I may go just to see the Hawks parts.

I will just to see Jennifer.......... Meeeeoooowwww

She makes my holiday egg nog curdle.



She is hotter in real life too...



I almost got to sit next to her for a shot, one of the ADs picked me and as I was walking over there another AD chose some curly haired ginger with a fro instead...needless to say I was pretty pissed



That said I got lucky later that day and was filmed in front of a green screen on the ice. I didn't care so much about the green screen or being filmed as much as I cared that I finally got on the ice at the UC.



We haven't gotten any updates and I don't think we will. There were hundreds of us so I doubt we are getting invites to the premier lol

Because they're real...and they're spectacular.

Not too bad for a 40 year old woman that's knocked out a couple kids.

Edit: Perhaps she was not 40 when that pic was taken but I would not mind being Paul Bettany for several days.

I would be very surprised if I don't make the final cut of the film. I went to the first day of shooting at the UC and coincidentally sat behind a comedian who was cast to heckle James as he did the shoot the puck thing between intermissions. At the angle I was sitting (one row back, just over the heckler's left shoulder), the only way I don't make the final cut of the movie is if they cut the entire scene out of the film, or use such a close up angle that I get cut out entirely as a result.



From my location that day, I was just about 10-15 feet away from Vaughn and Connelly. She is truly spectacular looking in person.



With that being said, I was still "just an extra" and therefore have not received any updates since I left the set.



Ironically, I was on business in Philly in November and Vaughn happened to be having a drink in the hotel lobby where I was staying. It must have been a promo party for the movie because other cast members were there too (like the comedian I spoke about earlier). When I told Vaughn that I was in the movie, he laughed about the coincidence of running into each other 4 months after that shoot in an entirely different city. He seems like a nice guy but I wouldn't want to live his life. Hotel security had to escort two guys out of the lobby who were screaming f-bombs when Vaughn wouldn't sign a poster or something. He explained that he already signed one thing each for these two guys and politely asked them to leave, but they wouldn't listen. It was a surreal scene.

He's a pretty nice guy. I gave him shit for not waiting for the whistle way back and we've chatted almost every time he's been back since. Which is partially why he asked I come down there. I still declined. Not for me.
