They are filming a movie at my job! UPDATE! Trailer now online

[Jude The Obscure]

For the past 2 days, scenes for an upcoming movie are being shot where I work, LaGrange Food Mart. The movie, tentatively titled "Chrome Angels" will be a low budget (obviously) science fiction/action flick with biker chicks, robots,etc. The scenes shot at my store involve the store getting robbed at gunpoint.
I was there yesterday from 8am to 8pm (but not due to the movie) so I got to see a lot of what goes on in prepping for a scene and being part of the "Rolling, quiet......action" background. No I am not in the movie--they had actors portray a cashier and a floor worker who gets shot. It was a novelty at first, but by the time 8pm came around, I was so tired and thought the whole thing was a pain in the ass. I have no idea when the movie will come out, but I'm sure it will be one of those things that premiere on Sci-Fi channel/straight to DVD. When I hear word, I'll let you know. Seeing the store owner getting her head blown off will be worth the price of the DVD! LOL!!! :lol:

Cool! Are you gonna be an extra? :D

[HuntingtonM15]

That's awesome! The new movie Drew Barrymore directed was filmed here this summer. I could have had the chance at being an extra, but unfortunately, I didn't have a potential 10+ hours each day to wait around.

[Jude The Obscure]

Nooooooooo.......it only pays $20, despite however long it takes for you to be used in a scene.

Once it comes out, I'm sure it'll be cool to know that I was there while it was being filmed. As for now, I can't wait for them to pack up and move on....it's quite a disruption on the job and some customers got aggravated with us.

[MonarC]

Yeah I can imagine the angry customers. :mad:

[Jude The Obscure]

Some people were wondering why they couldn't get their groceries (esp that allmighty important beer :rolleyes:). I think the management should have done a better job warning people what was going on.

At least I can say I met some movie crew from L.A. and if any of the unknowns become better knowns....I knew them "when" :lol:

[MusicJunkie]

are there any halfway known people in it? Well, usually those bad Sci-Fi Channel movies do usually have one semi-famous TV personality, or it has Tara Reid in it or something LOL

[Lodee]

Low budget or not, it's still pretty exciting. You should reconsider being an extra. Who knows, you could be discovered.

true, you might be famous down the road and this can be used against you :lol:

Reminds me of a Paul Newman movie where you can spot a very young Bruce Willis as a juror in the background of a scene, Bruce wasn't anybody when The Verdict was made, but once he became a star, it became a talk show gag to point it out when he was a guest.

no thank you--I worked a 12 hour shift yesterday and this was my one day off.
I have no qualms about being "discovered" :p

[Jude The Obscure]

Like I said before, this is a low budget flick and the people I encountered were unknowns (well to me at least).

[Jude The Obscure]

Turns out we did have one semi-famous cast member--it didn't click with me Thursday when I saw her, but after the description today "she was in Clueless"--Stacey Dash! :D
