Sports Talk “60″

There’s excitement afoot in Romulus, as the movie Miss January, starring Dustin Ingram, Kim Cattrall and Brian Dennehy, was being filmed there this week. The movie is set in a small town in Indiana, but was shot in Southeastern Michigan. The casting director, while looking for extras, didn’t use my agent’s company so that is why I didn’t even get an audition.
What’s funny is there was a small part shot in the barber shop where I get my weekly haircut and a major quantity of sports talk. The production shuttered the downtown area and I couldn’t get into the barber shop. I wasn’t too upset as I got to say hello to Kim Cattrall and it’s a good thing for the City of Romulus.
It’s been fun for the residents to see how a movie location is shot, mostly hurry up and wait, which to me is the challenge of it all. Maybe the next time Hollywood comes to Romulus my agent will be in the loop.
