Today, the Boston Herald confirmed the news we reported last month about David O. Russell’s Untitled Project starring Christian Bale, Jeremy Renner, & Bradley Cooper – it will film in Boston in mid-March.
According to various sources, the new movie about an FBI sting operation in the 1970s called Abscam, tentatively referred to as American Bullshit, will be shot in Boston (not Philadelphia where it is set) due to a lack of funds left in the Pennsylvania Tax Credit Fund.
The Herald is also reporting Transcendence, starring Johnny Depp and directed by Christopher Nolan, may be partially shot in Boston this spring. The movie follows a scientist who is assassinated but comes back to life when his brain is plugged into a super computer. But, don’t get your hopes up yet, they also state the Massachusetts Film Office said, “as far as we know, it is filming in L.A.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Transcendence and the David O. Russell Project and be sure to let us know if you have any scoop about a movie filming in Boston!
I hope they need extras!
‘Transcendance’ is not being directed by Christopher Nolan; his cinematographer Wally Pfister is directing the film.
