The Box with Cameron Diaz
Last November I was jogging on Brooke Road in my town and saw a bunch of trailers parked at a local elementary school. I also started to notice signs around town that said “Crew” with an arrow pointing the way to some location. Then two weeks ago, on Dec 18, I was leaving my house at 9AM to go to my daughter’s school holiday concert and at the corner of my street, going down the cross street, was a ton of activity. I live on a dead end and in a pretty quiet neighborhood, so a bunch of trucks, people out in the cold and snow (it had just snowed a total of 20 inches with no warm weather), and other nonsense, I knew something was up.
I stopped a guy and asked him what was going on and he told me they were filming a movie. Ah, a movie. The Box. I had heard about it but these kinds of things don’t usually interest me. I like going to the movies, and I think the entire process is interesting, but I have other stuff to care about. So it turns out they have been filming a Cameron Diaz film in my town for the past couple of months. No one called me to fill a role in it.
Anyway, if you are interested, there was an article in the Globe today about what’s going on. So not only is Milton the 7th best place to live in the country, and home to our governor, and home to the 17th richest person in the nation, it is a place to film a movie.
By the way, my neighbor worked detail for one day of shooting, and said Cameron Diaz is very nice. And very pretty.
thought I'd share.
