As With a van blow-up scene involving fire slotted for Ben Affleck's "The Town" on
Commercial Street across the Charlestown Bridge this weekend, crews with Tom
Cruise's spy flick known as the untitled "Wichita" project plan to top the
made-in-Boston action with an elaborate stunt involving a vehicle careening off of a
bridge.
"They're doing a lot of construction in the center of Charlestown's Rutherford Avenue,"
says Rod T.
Filming is slotted for Saturday, Oct. 10 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m, Sunday, Oct. 11 from 6
a.m to 1 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 17 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
According to a memo sent to Charlestown-area residents, crews plan to shut down
Rutherford Avenue from Sullivan Square to Austin Street during filming. Also, the
sidewalks around the site will be closed off to all foot traffic.
The filming crew is slotted to set up a production area in back of Rutherford Avenue
next to the fence along Spice Court.
The untitled "Wichita" project follows Cruise as a secret agent who pops in and out of
the life of a single woman played by Diaz.
Principal filming for the made-in-Boston spy flick "Wichita," starring Cruise, Diaz, Paul
Dano, Maggie Grace and Marc Blucas, kicked off on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at the Worcester
Regional Airport.
This week, crews filmed scenes throughout South Boston including the Boston Fire
Museum located at 344 Congress St. Beginning Saturday, Sept. 19, Cruise and Diaz
filmed at the Parisian brasserie Gaslight located at 560 Harrison Ave.
