On my way to/ from work, I usually pass by The Mount Stephen Club (which Francisco and I have always referred to The Hellfire Club 🙂 ). It’s been used so often for movies that there’s practically a continuous crew around it (the last one I specifically remember was a scene in The Aviator. I recognized it right away as it was the same spot Francisco and I would have our espressos together! 🙂 ).
Anyhow, yesterday afternoon I passed by and they had set up these catwalks all around the windows and draped them to simulate something. I saw Maria Bello’s chair at the entrance and realized they were actually filming (as opposed to prepping). I found out that the movie was referred to as “M3” and they’ve actually been here for a while now (here being on and around the island). I did a quick IMDB scan today and found that M3 is actually: The Mummy 3 (Tomb of the Dragon Emperor)! Aha! Finally! A real sequel to the Mummy movies! 🙂
And then I giggled at the thought that George of the Jungle is just a block away from me… Battling it out with Jet Li… LOL! 🙂
Ah, I love movie-making… 🙂
