Last night I knew (from the local newspaper) that they would be filming down the road in the other direction right next to Carolina Beach Lake where I go almost every day for a walk (when not at Ft. Fisher and my secret beach). They were supposed to film from 8 pm to 5 am and had the main road closed for about four blocks. They were doing a chase scene (with Emily Blunt and not Colin Firth - darn). I took several shots of the setting up. Considering I didn't use a flash and it was dark out, they aren't too bad. When they were actually rehearsing and shooting scenes, we all had to back up quite a way down the street. Before then, we were right there watching them set up cameras and lights.
The guy with the khaki pants and shirt is obviously a VIP as he was dishing out orders and I saw him in the newspaper pictures from the Ft. Fisher shoot. It was fun to hang out for a couple of hours with the other locals and watch what was going on. I stayed until 10 and watched the rehearsal of the "chase" scene with all the phony police cars. They are filming again tonight so don't know whether I will go down again or not. So far I haven't seen a picture of Colin Firth in the local newspapers either!

Beth we fans of Colin Firth are counting on you to get some pictures of him while he is in your neighborhood. As a fellow quilter and grandmother we have to help each other whenever we can. So go get him Beth.
Boy, I am sure trying but he is pretty elusive!! Somehow I don't think my husband wants me trolling the streets of Wilmington for the next month but I will try!!! I can't believe he was just down the street from me and I didn't know!!!!!!Arghh
