Check out the coffee shop 48 seconds into the trailer. That’s Buena Vista Coffee! Located at 1501 Buena Vista Street in the North Side. Unlike The Next Three Days trailer which was also recently released, there aren’t many Pittsburgh scenes in this clip – the city skyline (0:27 seconds) isn’t even the Burgh. There weren’t any shots of Jake’s Steelers tattoo in all the shirtless scenes, but we’re sure he has the team in his heart. And how about that Anne Hathaway smile! Some of the whitest teeth you’ll ever see. Continue Reading >>
Here is the official trailer for the upcoming flick The Next Three Days which was filmed all over the city of Pittsburgh with Russell Crowe! Pittsburgh looks absolutely incredible. This definitely looks like a must-see-movie, which means lots and lots of people are going to have a chance to see the beauty of the Burgh, up close and personal on the silver screen. Another good reason why we’re called the “Hollywood of the East”! Continue Reading >>
Katherine Heigl filming "One for the Money" in Shadyside
We’d like to send a shoutout to Barbara Vancheri for mentioning BPGH in the Post Gazette yesterday. She was right on the money about all of the “One for the Money” movie-making tidbits. Check out the Film Notes article titled ‘One for the Money’ continues filming…
This is what happens when your city becomes a mini-Hollywood hub.
Earlier this week, a girl posted on boringpittsburgh.com that Taylor Lautner would be shooting close to Federal Street on the North Side. But another poster corrected her — the movie filming near the old Garden Theater is Katherine Heigl’s “One for the Money” and not “Abduction.”
The craziness continues (and will continue until the end of August). This video was put together by two local college girls on a mission to find Taylor Lautner in Pittsburgh.
We drove throughout the entire city of Pittsburgh one weekend searching for Taylor Lautner’s filming location, only to be unsuccessful. But because of this failure, we created this Ke$ha parody about our quest for Taylor. Enjoy!
Even if you don’t care about the dude, there are a lot of Pittsburgh mentions throughout the song. If you don’t care about Pittsburgh or the dude, then don’t even bother clicking – unless of course you simply want to see two girls running around the Burgh having a good time… then you can mute it and just watch. We kid the girls! The lyrics and video are creative attempts to get Mr. Lautner’s attention – hopefully it works out for them! Continue Reading >>
The Garden Theater in North Side is taken back in time
Where was Taylor Lautner filming this week? Not in the North Side of Pittsburgh like everyone suspected. Hollywood was indeed in that part of the Burgh, but filming One for the Money with Katherine Heigl. Guest contributor, Aidinslevel, sent in the following pictures from her trip to the movie set.
As you can see from the pics, they transformed the Garden Theater on W North Ave into an x-rated porn theater… which is ironic, since that’s exactly what that it used to be. This story by Jessica Thurston has all the details on that spicy time in the theater’s existence. Continue Reading >>
Haddad's and ABX trucks on Osage Road for Abduction
If you haven’t heard, Taylor Lautner is stationed in Pittsburgh for a bit. We took a trip up to Mount Lebanon over the weekend to check out the Abduction filming action up on Osage Road. They don’t shoot on the weekends, so the place was on the quiet side.
Despite rumors that Lautner was staying in a house there, only four or five small groups of girls were strolling around, trying their best to be as inconspicuous as possible. As it turns out, the Twilight superstar is probably staying in a hotel and not living anywhere near Virginia Manor. We were told that the house they were filming in (on Osage Road) supposedly belongs to the CEO of American Eagle Outfitters. Continue Reading >>
