Tom Jon Hamm, known for his work in "Mad Men" and the upcoming Allen Ginsberg
biopic "Howl," has been filming a lot of those shoot 'em up scenes promised on set of
Ben Affleck's blue-collar heist flick "The Town" outside of Fenway Park.
Don Draper in FBI gear and whipping out a gun? You bet.
In the made-in-Boston film, Hamm stars as a FBI agent who becomes smitten with a
female bank employee, played by "Frost/Nixon" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" actress
Rebecca Hall.
Filming at Fenway Park is slotted to continue until Sunday, Sept. 27. Vehicular traffic is
closed on Yawkey Way from Brookline Ave. to Van Ness from 5 a.m.- 9 p.m. until
Sunday, Sept. 27. Crews filmed scenes at 12-45 Lansdowne St. and 176 Ipswich St. on
the Fenway side on Thursday, Sept. 23.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have been playing away games in Kansas City and then in New
York while Affleck and staff do their cops and robbers thing. Also, crews have
reportedly rented out the Howard Johnson Hotel Boston located at 1271 Boylston St.
specifically for the Fenway climax to house out-of-state production crews as well as an
exterior filming location.
Also, crews have set up base camp during the week-long shoot at the vacant Boston
Billiards building located at 126 Brookline Ave.
After crews finish filming scenes outside of Fenway Park, production moves to the
North End beginning Thursday, Oct. 1.
Highlights include scenes slotted for the Pizzeria Regina on Thacher Street and New
Spin Laundry on Salem Street which will be transformed into one of the banks under
siege.
And, in a move that will more than likely cause a traffic snarl or two, they're closing
down the entire Charlestown Bridge on Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 4.
Also, CP Casting is on the hunt for ethnic, young adult men for a futbol scene slotted
for Tuesday, Sept. 29 and Thursday, Oct. 1. If you're an experienced soccer player and
of foreign descent, send a photo with your phone number, age and availability to
thetowncasting@gmail.com.
