One of our readers, Justin, sent us these photos he took on the set of 30 Minutes or Less last Friday. In the photos, the movie’s stars, Aziz Ansari and Jesse Eisenberg, can be seen chatting between takes and checking their cell phones (maybe Eisenberg was checking his Facebook page!)
As we reported, the pair was filming a few scenes on the corner of Blaine and Ottillia in Grand Rapids, MI. Justin commented that, “It was cool to see how people were surprised that there was a major film being shot in our quaint neighborhood.”
The movie, which is about two fledgling criminals who kidnap a pizza delivery driver and force him to rob a bank within 30 minutes, is expected in theaters next summer.

[A huge thank you to Justin for the photos!]
anymore 90210 sightings???
Mya Rajah and Aziz Ansari were seen having drinks at the JW Marriott lounge in downtown Grand Rapids. Mya Rajah is from Detroit, Michigan and has landed a big role in the movie playing Ansari’s sister and Eisenberg’s love interest. On screen they may be playing siblings but off screen they were pretty close and smitten with each other. She is staying at the JW Marriott while filming and at the end of their date he walked her to the elevator holding hands but there was no kiss good night. I tried to take a cell phone picture of them but my camera didn’t have flash and the lounge is very dimly lit. So now we know where the cast of ’30 Minutes or Less’ is staying!
They both staying there?
YUP! I asked the bartender and he said actors and crew members for Ben Stiller’s latest movie were staying here!
My husband and I were at the JW and some of the cast hanging out. Mya and Aziz make a cute couple. 🙂
