Russell Crowe is still in Pittsburgh filming “The Next Three Days“. Last week, Crowe must have taken a break from filming so he could play Santa Clause for the holidays. He gave the gift of warmth by handing someone  a winter coat right off his back. The homeless fan, known as “Radio Man”, rode his bike all the way from New York just so he could hang out near the movie set. Russell Crowe heard about the guy and generously gifted him a puffy gray down jacket with a fur hood.

Haddad’s trucks are posted up throughout the University of Pittsburgh campus. Nope, it’s not “Love and Other Drugs” filming this time…  “The Next Three Days” starring Russell Crowe is responsible for taking up all the parking spaces this time!

Russell Crowe is in town filming his next movie called “The Next Three Days” (set for release in 2011). He’s been known to ride his bike to the set every day and chill out with Pittsburghers at local bars and enjoy live music. But, the coolest news about Mr. Crowe so far is that he is apparently a Pirates fan! @mandajayne017 took an awesome pic of the man in his Pirates jacket!

Haddad's Trucks Spotted in Shadyside

Haddad's Trucks Spotted in Shadyside

As we shared earlier on Twitpic, Haddad’s Trucks were spotted this morning. These days that can only mean one thing – or one of three things… Either the filming of Love and Other Drugs starring Jake Gyllenhaal; The Next Three Days with Russell Crowe; or Denzel Washington in Unstoppable.

Can you guess the location from the clues in the picture?

Russell Crowe is in town, filming “The Next Three Days” – along with co-star Olivia Wilde, Elizabeth Banks, director Paul Haggis (Crash), and even reports of Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA.

The film began shooting on Friday, October 2. According the tweet attached to the above photo, Russell and friends were filming at the Pittsburgh Tech Council, although we don’t have confirmation of that. Continue Reading >>

Seems like a lot of filming going on in Pittsburgh these days – G20 videos on YouTube; Love and Other Drugs shooting near UPitt and in a house on Bartlett Street; a new Russell Crowe movie; The Bridge to Nowhere (as seen above); even a Tony Scott flick starring Denzel Washington!

Could this be Pittsburgh’s emergence into becoming the East-Coast Hollywood? Probably not – but it sure is cool, unless you are battling the movie trailers for a parking spot. That’s the difference between here and there: they have studios designed for this stuff and our streets become their studios (and of course the parking people don’t write them up for occupying 2 blocks of unpaid meters).

PS – Denzel’s movie is called Unstoppable and scenes will be filmed in the Strip District… Subscribe to our feed for more updates. Continue Reading >>
