It looks like Tom Cruise will be in Boston sooner rather than later. There have been
whispers, most recently in the Hollywood Reporter, that the leading man will start
shooting his movie here in October, but we’re told cameras roll Sept. 15. The film,
which had been called “Wichita’’ but is awaiting a new title, is a spy thriller directed by
James Mangold, whose credits include “Walk the Line’’ and “3:10 to Yuma.’’ The movie
centers on a lonely woman, played by Cameron Diaz, whose relationship with a spy,
played by Cruise, turns her world upside down. Also in the cast is Maggie Grace, best
known for her work on “Lost.’’ Grace, who also appeared in “Taken’’ with Liam Neeson,
plays Diaz’s sister in Mangold’s big-budget movie.
Marc Blucas, who played Sarah Michelle Gellar's love interest in "Buffy the Vampire
Slayer," has signed to play Cameron Diaz's firefighter ex-boyfriend who still carries a
torch for her.
Blucas joins Maggie Grace, known as the fallen poor little rich girl Shannon Rutherford
on ABC's "Lost" series. The up-and-coming actress is slotted to play Diaz's sister and
soon-to-be bride. In the made-in-Boston film, Diaz will stand-in for their late father
and walk Grace's character down the aisle.
Meanwhile, crews are reportedly hashing out an elaborate crash scene where a
commercial 727 airliner skids into a Cumberland Farms cornfield near Curve Street in
Bridgewater. Scheduled to shoot Thursday, Sept. 24 and Friday, Sept. 25, the scene
depicts the aftermath of plane crash in a fictional Indiana locale.
Steve Cannaby, owner of Wichita-based Nu-Tek aircraft group, says he's working on
some high-tech gadgetry for the Bridgewater plane scene. “They’re doing a action
scene in a ... 727 cockpit. There’s some sort of a, like, shoot-out or something that’s
supposed to happen in the cockpit," Cannaby spills.
Airport scenes will be shot at the Worcester Regional Airport beginning on Tuesday,
Sept. 15 and act as a stand-in for the Wichita Airport in the film. Crews are building a
gift shop, bar, a transportation security inspection area and a bar. The set will be torn
down after the four-day shoot.
