I was called to be a possible "photo double" of Will Patton but my hair color was wrong and I don't think I look like him very much anyway. While I was down in Squirrel Hill for that, I saw the set where they were going to be filming later that night and stayed just out of curiosity. Richard Gere was part of that shot.
I'm not going to give away anything by saying there were indications of 'spookiness' in the air, right? Since it was really freezing out, I watched (and froze) for a while and decided that I'd plan to catch more when they're in Kittanning. I'm only two blocks away from the bridge and I can come home and warm up - they'll be shooting here for a while anyway.
What surprised me is that Richard Gere wasn't delivered to the set until the VERY last second and the small crowd that braved the freezing cold was already moved back behind the camera. We were on the west side of the set and he came in through the east, nobody I know saw him very close except for the cameramen through their zoom lens.
