Angela was in NYC from Vienna last weekend and was able to catch Matt Damon film a scene for The Adjustment Bureau while she was in town. Here’s a comment she left for us today and a few of her pics. (Thanks Angela!)

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, because of you I saw Matt Damon on October 25th at 11am in downtown Manhattan at the Courthouse, Centre & Worth Street.
No Paparazzi were there, just some tourists. First they filmed a scene at the top of the stairs, he was just running inside. And then he came down the stairs and went to his trucks. He just passed by one metre of me and I said Good Morning, he was smiling and greeted me back: IT WAS AMAZING, but, I was so
stunned I did not ask him for a picture, it just happened so fast and I thought I am alone there so who would take the picture. Then he went inside the truck and I asked the security if Matt would make a picture with me. And he said, yes, but it may take sometime until he comes out again.
So i left because I had no more time.
THANKS A LOT LOT LOT, i am still so happy about seeing him, just because
of your great site!!!

Pandora was also on the set of Fringe in Vancouver on Monday night and sent us this full report:

Mon Oct, 26th – filming for S02E11 of FRINGE

First I must say, of all the sets I’ve been too, tonight’s visit to the set of Fringe was by far the most enjoyable. The cast and crew alike were a friendly bunch, taking time to chat with us. All the main actors were there – Anna, Joshua, Lance, John and Jasika. We didn’t want to bother John on his smoke break but the show’s ALM (I feel bad for not remembering his name) called him over for us anyway. He graciously signed my dvd sleeve and even stopped to chat about how it still amuses him to no end that his wife is a fangirl of the show.

Later on that night we got to chat with him again, he hailed us out when he was swarmed by another group of fans and we got a chance to get a picture with him this time. Throughout the night we got to chat with the show’s friendly, talented crew. We missed getting photos and autographs with Jasika…was busy talking to John again lol.

The highlight was definitely seeing Joshua Jackson. Okay…not really the seeing him part, but the fact that he remembered me and my friend Angie from like 2 months ago – you remember Angie: the English girl that missed her flight to meet him :P . Anyway ,the poor guy was sick but still braved the cold weather to chat with fans and take photos and we talked about Angie for a bit, apparently he’d told the crew the story about how she’d missed her flight. While signing my dvd sleeve, he stopped to tell one of the crew “You remember the English girl that missed her flight? This is her friend!” Best night ever!

After sharing a chuckle over Angie again, Josh was back inside and back to filming. Sorry I don’t have a pic with him from tonight – was too busy talking about Angie and excited over the fact that he remembered us.

Shooting wrapped for the night around 12:30am. I was in utter awe of how quickly these guys broke down the set and got everything all packed up – seriously SPN’s got nothing on them :P The Fringe crew defiantly deserves major props for all their hard work.

We caught Anna as she was leaving that night – my photo with her came out blurry *cries*…oh well, good reason to visit the set again ;) . She looked tired but we were able to put a smile on her face when I asked her for her autograph – I told her that John signed on her and it was only appropriate that she signed on him. Her response was “God damn him!” *shakes fist and laughs*

Despite the intense cold and losing my leather gloves, I had a great time. I can’t wait till we catch them shooting again. Here are some pics from our visit:

Stevie G sent us more pictures he took in NYC last week. Here’s what he had to say:

First off I have to thank you for my day last week. The site helped me be very successful. I went to the site for Celebrity Apprentice where they were promoting the Kodak Camera. I visited with both teams and they were all nice (aside from Cyndi Lauper). I was also able to meet Dwane “The Rock” Johnson [on the set of The Other Guys] thanks to your filming tips and while I was waiting, Jason Alexander walked by so I got him too. And then when I was walking back to the car, I walked by Broadway and I was able to meet Julia Stiles and Bill Pullman when they came out from Oleanna.

Thanks to Stevie G for sharing his pics!

‘Thor’ May Be Filmed in New Mexico

The next, highly anticipated movie from Marvel, Thor, might be filmed in New Mexico. Casting call sheets for the movie, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh, described a “small New Mexico town” as the home of one of the main characters. The film is scheduled to start shooting in January, with a proposed release date of May 2011. Of course, we all know that just because a movie is set in a certain location doesn’t mean it will film there. But, with that said, New Mexico is offering some of the best tax incentives in the country right now and has attracted several other movies and TV show in recent years.
