| Movie city 03.08.2006 |
| Since I've been in London, I've experienced a lot of interesting things related to movies. The first one was when a movie I saw (which unfortunatelly I forgot the name right now) was filmed in a pub down the road of the first place I was working in London. It took me a while to recognise it because they changed the colour of the pub, but it was that one. I'll try to remember the name... Edit: The movie was Intimacy. The second one would be when I realised that a bus stop that is below a highway I used to walk trough was where one of the last scenes of Sexy Beast was filmed (A couple scenes were filmed in the same area in fact). The third one would be when we realised that we were living in the same road that where the shop of the movie Notting Hill is, tho at some point it changes the name. We used to walk a lot looking for that shop, but it was just in the same street. We weren't able to find the park tho. The fourth one was when in the cathedral that we got in front of our actual building they were filming a movie, and one of the actors there was Jordi Molla (which is from Barcelona, as I am). But no.. I didn't saw him. And the last one was today, when I was walking (instead of taking the bus) from Spring to home because the day was great. After having a quick stop at Foxtons I went to a cinema I like to see if there were any interesting movies and just when I was arriving I was hearing people screaming, I thought they just were complaining about something. I arrived there, and stopped in the middle of the road, then I saw that there were lots of photographers, and people on the other side screaming. Oh right.. it was a premiere.. a small one as the cinema isn't too big and the road was quite small (it's not like Odeon or Empire ones). So I looked for the poster of the movie.. "Volver", uh? tried to recognise the girl in the poster, I wasn't able to, readed the name.. "Penelope Cruz", uh?! Then I turned my head to the right and I had "Pe" just on my side, looking at me, she was just walking a bit so the people could take some pictures of her. And she was at the end of the road at that point. Then I tried to see who was the director, oh! Almodovar!! turned my head again and saw him at 3meters of me. Hehehhe.. By then a policeman just pushed me away of the street, as I was kind of the middle. I had more experiences like that, but these are the ones I remember right now. It's funny how many movie sets you can see in the city in very random places. |
