I just spent the day in Michael Douglas's office

Well, it'll be his office come Sunday, when he gets to town to produce his movie, The Sentinel. I even handled his 'welcome package' they put together for him. (these are the little thrills I get, as rare as they are, from my job).

Once again I was called in to take photos for crew badge ID's. I'll be called back on set next time, to get the remaining people in a couple weeks. Hopefully I'll spot him, Kim Basinger or Kiefer Sutherland.

Movie is about some assasination attempt on a president, and is supposed to be in DC. Parts of course will be, cuz in no way does TO look like DC. It was really funny to see that one of their 'locations' is supposed to be Montgomery Mall (they're gonna fudge it here), which is like saying there's an actual scene of a movie supposed to be held in Square One or Yorkdale. It's just funny to know that the mall I used to rat around in is supposed to be a location in a movie.

Ya, right! It's a big 'no no' for the crew on set w/big stars to ask for pics or autographs, tho I'm sure it happens at some point for some people. Since I'm not on the crew, maybe I can pull a favor and get Kim's autograph on my copy of Survivor's debut album from '79. This was before anyone knew who she was.

Posted by zoogla on May-06-2005 20:03:

I was thinking it was a no-no...hence I was hoping our girl would get lucky! That's a vintage cover...would be SUPER awesome if you got her autograph!

Going on set tomorrow to take remaining crew shots, including Mr. Douglas himself! Nice one!

Very sweet indeed!!

Alot of movies have had parts shot in Toronto.

Harold & Kumar, X-Men and Half-Baked are ones I can name off the top of my head.

Posted by starsearcher on May-18-2005 03:32:

Awesome!

While we're on it, I know that Eva Langoria is in TO shooting the same movie...that should get the boys excited!

Just as I was hoping to run into some of these people I injured my leg and not going to the gym heal faster damn it!

The most odvious part is the Pizza Pizza across the street from Sam's on Yonge. (the scene where the cop's horse dies)

1. correction it's Khoa, not Khoi, shame on you
2. I was around city hall when they were shooting the sequence, I was able to see it from afar
3. My best friend Jon, one day was around the area and saw Mila and even had the opportunity to have dinner with her in her hotel room, (supervised of course)... what a lucky bastard

Nat I think there's a definite job for you as part of the Paparazzi!!

Never did see MD today. Guess he wasnt coming up to the lunch room with the 'peons' to have his picture taken, and when I offered to go to his trailer to do it, by then he had already left.

No matter- I had 2 Kiefer sightings today, the 2nd one was REALLY close to him. Of course u gotta play it cool & be like 'whatever'. Honestly tho, I was more interested in the full-on chrome motorcycle parked across the street!
