    Scored a Big Gig

    As a lowly Production Assistant on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for three weeks while the shoot a few car chase scenes here in Rochester.

    Well, at least I think that's the case...but they are trying to keep things under wraps, so while I know it's what I'm working on they keep referring to it under their working title "London Calling".

    Now to find out the significance of the fake title.

    Spend you some brain.

                  hey, that's nice work.


                  i've tried to unravel the names of filming locations, i think it may be random. they always have the yellow signs with the movie code name up around here to point crews to where parking is for the set.

                              It's been all over the news and everyone in town knows what it is. It's still kinda funny the lengths they still going to try and keep it quiet.

                              We get lots of indie productions coming to town, and if you are lucky enough to get paid its usually a small stipend and 3 meals that day. The day rate on this will likely be more than the pay on the last 10 day indie shoot I was involved in. I am lucky enough to be in a position where it doesn't matter either way, but it is nice.

                              I have already been told that very few people on location will be able to bring their phone with them.

                                          You're in LA right? You could be doing all sorts of work on location. My buddy works as an extra out there and some days gets paid $250 to stand around all day.

                                              yah, downtown, it's amazing, i literally walk through sets and past them daily. $25k camera rig on 1 side of the sidewalk and the set on the other, crazy ass lights everywhere, all of us pedestrians moseying through. cracks me up.

                                              i've done the extra thing a couple times, i can't stand the standing around, it's literally 98% of the time, maybe 99. now if i had one of those sweet starwaggons with the fancy red carpet like they do....

                                                  PA work is just the opposite. 12 hours, hands on, non stop. I love it.

If you look right for something they are working on right then they could send you.

If you look right for something they are working on right then they could send you.

Also as writer. There was a real reptile booking porn extras. Probably no docs needed. Put a notice up on helmy's board, you might get some bites.

                                                                                                                                                                      Well, at least I think that's the case...but they are trying to keep things under wraps, so while I know it's what I'm working on they keep referring to it under their working title "London Calling".

                                                                                                                                                                      Now to find out the significance of the fake title.

                                                                                                                                                                      When it was revealed that The Amazing Spider-Man sequel had been given the working title of "London Calling", we speculated that it might have something to do with the storyline in the comic books which saw Gwen Stacy visiting the capital. Well, according to Bleeding Cool, they have now been able to confirm that production of the movie is indeed heading to this side of the pond. "I managed to confirm that London Calling has indeed been planning for some production over here in the UK. How much? No idea. Yet. But it?s not studio stuff ? or at least not just studio stuff. They?re planning to film out and about in the streets." Whether or not this means that Spider-Man will be following Gwen over to London remains to be seen, although her absence certainly leads the door wide open for the introduction of Mary Jane Watson! Be sure to sound off with your thoughts and theories in the usual place!

Well, according to Bleeding Cool, they have now been able to confirm that production of the movie is indeed heading to this side of the pond. "I managed to confirm that London Calling has indeed been planning for some production over here in the UK. How much? No idea. Yet. But it?s not studio stuff ? or at least not just studio stuff. They?re planning to film out and about in the streets." Whether or not this means that Spider-Man will be following Gwen over to London remains to be seen, although her absence certainly leads the door wide open for the introduction of Mary Jane Watson! Be sure to sound off with your thoughts and theories in the usual place!
