The Hollywood Invasion



Had someone ask me this week what movie was being filmed in Midway... take a look at the sign from the set being built downstairs included in my post a few days back... The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past starring Matthew McConaughey. I was sure if you couldn't read the sign in the photo you would have at least surmised it with the Breckin Meyer reference.


If anyone isn't familiar with movie making, it is about the craziest thing ever. There are vans dropping people off, people with radios, security, huge lights pointed at the building, tractor trailers, extra air conditioning pumped in, extras milling around the building, green rooms, tables and tables of food. I am pretty sure it is better coordinated than any war effort, including storming the beaches at Normandy. Above, see some shots of the tractor trailers outside Midway and the lights pointed at the building out front.


But no ladies, there have been no McConaughey sightings yet, which means there have also been no shirtless McConaughey sightings. There haven't even been any Breckin Meyer sightings.


Also, see a great Mattie Damon impression of McConaughey. Welcome to Beantown.
