okay. read on, my beautiful creatures.
so yesterday, my friend and i were walking out of terra after eating lunch. we were trying to figure out if we should start our star wars marathon that day, when we noticed people were filming across the street. we didn't really care that much, but i was like "what the heck, let's just go see what it is."
we met this sweet freshman from temple who was majoring in multi-media & film. i asked her what was going on, and this is what she said:
"well, i'm doing a project on film, and i looked up to see if anyone was filming in philly. and sure enough, there's a new movie that's being filmed right here, called Franny, which should come out sometime next year."
oh, by the way, did i mention that she said it was starring Richard Gere & Dakota Fanning? yeah. well, apparently, they're shooting a scene where Richard Gere rides out on the back of this 1940s Mercedes and screams in the middle of the street. best part? we were standing right where he drives out. and right where he had to turn to walk back into the hotel so they could shoot it again.
oh man it was awesome. to be literally breathing the same air as Richard Gere, that's how close i was to him. good grief.
the three of us were so into watching them, that when they started filming the scene, they came up to us like we were extras, and started instructing us what to do! they were like "when i say 'rolling', wait thirty seconds until you start walking down the sidewalk. do NOT look at the windshield, or the car in general, that's where the camera is."
can you believe it?! my friends and i just might be in the scene where Gere comes riding out on the back of a car! in a movie! a real movie.
i guess you could say i'm pretty famous. ask for my autograph later, i'm busy trying to study for midterms right now.
my theory class is next, and i need all the help i can get. i hate theory. so freaking much.
