Crews with the made-in-Boston spy flick "Knight & Day" wrapped filming in Boston
earlier this week and have set up shop in Sevilla on Monday, Nov. 16. Shooting is
slotted to continue in Spain for three weeks.
Now that the Boston-area filming has ended, the James Mangold action comedy is
also scheduled to film in Salzburg, Austria as well as a tropical destination rumored to
be Hawaii.
Cruise, who reportedly turned up for the memorial service at the John Joseph Moakley
Courthouse for Church of Scientology attorney Earle Cooley, was scheduled to film
scenes in Salzburg beginning Thursday, Nov. 19, however, there's been a bit of a snag
after Austrian filmmakers protested a $448,455 incentive greenlit for the "Knight &
Day" film from Salzburg authorities. The Austrian shoot has been cut from three weeks
to seven days in response to the backlash.
In "Knight & Day," Cruise and Cameron Diaz have a glamorous and sometimes deadly
adventure, where nothing and no one - even the now fugitive couple - are what they
seem.
Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the globe, with
their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth versus trust. "Knight & Day" is
slotted to hit theaters on July 2, 2010.
Co-stars include Peter Sarsgaard (“An Education”) as a federal agent relentlessly
pursuing the couple; Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as a CIA director trying to decipher the true
purpose of their high-wire activities; Paul Dano (“There Will Be Blood”) as an eccentric
genius behind a revolutionary technology; and Olivier Martinez (“Unfaithful”) as a
ruthless arms manufacturer. Also co-starring are Maggie Grace (“Taken”) and Marc
Blucas (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”).
Crews with "Knight & Day" filmed scenes throughout the Boston area including the
Worcester Regional Airport, Jacob Wirth Restaurant located at 31 Stuart St. in
Boston's Theatre District, South Boston's waterfront district, Boston Public Library,
Boston Fire Museum as well as the classic Parisian brasserie Gaslight located at 560
Harrison Avenue.
