Re: Black Mass
The weather was great today so I sneaked out of work at lunch time and went to the North End to see if they were filming. They were; but sadly, no sign of Ben (or Johnny Dep). And believe me, I looked! The streets in the North End are tiny and it was amazing to see all the equipment trucks lining the streets. I got there when they were doing some rehearsing - more for camera shots than actors, I think. The crew was very polite about keeping those of us watching from getting in the way but still allowing us to look. I made the mistake of standing next to a group of people I thought were spectators but then I was politely asked to move because these people were the extras. Duh! If I wasn't so busy looking for Ben I would have noticed they were all dressed in 70's clothes. I jokingly asked if I could be an extra too, but sadly, they turned me down. 
. Here's a picture of my adventure.

Re: Black Mass
This is very exciting, KP, hope you will see more in the next weeks. Benedict will be at Hay Festival today and tomorrow, so I would not expect him at the moment. Maybe netxt week?

Re: Black Mass
Wonderful adventure anyway, KP.
Benedict will appear at the place after he finishes "Letters Live", so don´t lose hope.
By the way, that part of Boston you captured on photograph is stunning!

Re: Black Mass
Oh yes, that looks quite exciting - and the sun is even shining! Those old buildings look beautiful, by the way.
I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for you KP - hopefully Benedict will have to do some scenes there and you'll be able to see him!

Thanks Susi! It's good to know I still have a chance. Please let me know if you hear he's actually coming over here to film on location and I'll be on the lookout.
Yes, nakahara, the North End is a cool place - Boston's Italian section. Wonderful little places to eat. Naturally, while I was there yesterday, I stopped into an Italian bakery and got a cannoli. Here are a couple more pictures:

Re: Black Mass
Such cool streets and an Italian cuisine as a bonus? It´s heaven!

Re: Black Mass
KP: So I guess it was just meant to be that you have that particular job! 
Lucky you and great pics--thanks for sharing. I hope you do get to see Ben there; that would be beyond wicked cool!

Re: Black Mass
Looks wickedly exciting. Hope you get to meet him once he's finished up at Hay. Should make an appearance in the near future.

Re: Black Mass
It seems he has arrived. Not sure if I should put it here or in the Things Lovely thread:

Re: Black Mass
I'm really interested to know how much he'll feature in this Movie.
So I suppose there will be some pics of him on set soon then?
I need to get a grip, because that report made me feel a bit sad - arriving all alone and lost, and, unknowingly being sniffed!!!!
(No disrespect to the writer, though, and at least she didn't bother him
)

Re: Black Mass
I think it was not that bad. I am quite happy with him arriving like that and not with a big entourage and bodyguards. The work is what matters. I am sure they took good care of him.

Re: Black Mass
I'm so happy that something is finally moving on. And Susi you're right - I think it's good that Benedict could come in quiet and peace, without huge group of fans screaming, squealing and asking for photo or autograph.

Re: Black Mass
Yes, I agree. It's great that he's starting to act again! And maybe he wasn't lost at all, maybe he was looking around, getting some orientation, already trying to get a feeling for the set. I'm sure he's not a small child anymore that needs protection.

Re: Black Mass
Wow, that makes me really happy. He starts working ... he starts acting again. And I also think he is fine with an arrival on set like this. I am sure he doesn't need razzmatazz every time and enjoys a bit of calmness.

Re: Black Mass
Yes, it seems like an age since he's properly acted doesn't it?
Nice to know he's back in action
And I definitely wouldn't like to see him with an entourage!, I agree with you all in that one
