I don’t know about you guys, but I will be at I street tomorrow to see what’s up.

So dose anyone one know when Benedict is filming??? Please please please help.

He (Johnny Depp) was in Lynn yesterday so how come they say Boston of his location? He was also at the Porthole Pub on the lynnway!! Someone is not telling us everything about his location!!!!!!

They were also at the Lolita restaurant alley filming all morning yesterday…Not all is disclosed here, of course.

just wanna know that which set after June 12 that Depp will be in? Hope to take a look at it. Thank you.

Any word yet on whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch is in the area? I know he wasn’t two days ago but that may have changed as of yesterday. I don’t know.

he was in Lynn yesterday for 16 hrs . On union street, they were doing a police station scene. They made the streets look like winter, with Christmas trees ect
wish I can post the pics here

anyone know if they will be shooting before the 16th and 17th?
Thanks

Email is coming out as invalid

is there anyone going to the June 16&17th set in Boston? Please let me know! Thank you! Really want to know if Johnny Depp is showing up!

I was at the Gold/Dorchester Streets site on the 12th and nada. Feeling kind of let down here, especially since I live in Quincy and didn’t find out about the filming on E Squantum Street til the day after.

Is the June 18th one in a bad part of Southie? I can’t go if it is…

I know Benedict’s here….but does anybody know if he’s filming at all these locations this week? I’d hate to take a whole day off from work & go in on Friday & find out he’s already left…..

Hey there !

I planne to go to Boston this week (from thursday to sunday ). Does anyone know if Johnny Depp will be on the set ?

Thanks a lot !

If anybody goes & sees Benedict, could you email me alyssastdon@yahoo.com? I live about 45 minutes south of Boston and its not a problem at all for me to go up there and find him.

I’m gonna be around looking for Benedict tomorrow too! 🙂

Is G Street a bad area? That’s where filming is taking place tomorrow and I’m scared because, you know… South Boston. =_=

Black Mass shooting corner of Union & Exchange street in Lynn 6/18-6/19

Don’t bother going to G Street today. I’m here now and someone just told me Benedict isn’t gonna be on set today.

Does anyone know, if I go sometime after work this week, will they still be filming? Sometime starting after 3pm? Trying to catch just a glimpse of Mr. Depp 🙂

For tomorrow I have listed D St and W 3rd St, South Boston, the exact address is 146 W 3rd St which is basically the same, 146 W 3rd is right near D St. (if that clears up any confusion).

If anybody hears anything about Friday please post.

They’re filming in the BPL right now.

Does anyone know for sure where Mr Cumerbatch will be tomorrow or Friday, or possibly the rest of today? Thanks!

And what times?

I’m at the Bpl right now and don’t see any filming crews…. Where exactly are they filming?

I am also interested in where Mr Cumberbatch may be on Friday – if anyone has information, please post. I am a huge fan and would love to say hello (in a non-creepy manner).

I wonder if they are filming in two places (Boston and Lynn) since not all actors are in the same scenes. I did hear that they would be back in Lynn to film at some point.

And I’d love to be in the email group for politely “stalking” Benedict. 🙂

Here is the link with pictures from Lynn and that there will be more shooting there on June 23. https://lynnhappens.com/2014/06/11/photos-from-black-mass-filming-today/

LYNN is kind of far for me to go since I live around Newton. Hopefully anyone can tell me if there is shooting in South Boston for this week, either Benedict or Depp come, I will go to see.

Anyone interested to go with me please send me email philosophy2o11007@hotmail.com

thank you very much!

I live in the city — anyone know where BC may be tomorrow through the rest of the week?

I saw Johnny Depp today on G st. coming out of the house in which they were filming He will be on East Broadway st in Southie on Thursday and on D st tomorrow. He spoke to us, very nice guy!

Particularly interested in Benedict Cumberbatch’s schedule

I am going to the filming on Thursday, I will try to find out his schedule. He is the producer right?

Anyone going today? I’ll be in Southie around 2:45pm if anyone is interested in meeting up! Hope Johnny Depp’s still there!!

I’m sure all the BC fans have seen The Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/names/2014/06/17/benedict-cumberbatch-arrives-boston-fans-rejoice/MmKl1znpPnJdWDVJ4QgeZN/story.html

Hi all. If you could include me on the B.C. lookout news, I would really appreciate it Chretienjm@gmail.com . I work in RI and will fake an illness PDQ to hightail it to the city if needed.

Filming is happening now @ 146 w3rd st. Don’t know if JD or BC is here.

Oh dear. I can’t make it on the 23rd – any news on this Friday from anyone?

Thank you!

no need to look for PM
We met, all is well with the world

Are they still filming right now?

I went today. I saw Joel Edgerton but no one else. I talked with a nice man who was part of the crew and he said no Benedict for the rest of the week and that Johnny would be at the E Broadway location tomorrow. He said that the call for the crew tomorrow 9:30am so actors should get there probably like between 11-12 and that they’re filming all day.

Thanks for that info Catherine I will be there tomorrow! Anyone care to join me?

Alrighty then. I guess I will be going to Boston on Friday. 🙂

Oh, and I think you are right about the crew. Back when they were filming in the North End, I was told they would be there filming again the next day — and they weren’t. Sometimes the crew just doesn’t know what’s up.

Hoping they will be out filming somewhere on Saturday as that is the earliest I can get up to Boston from Rhode Island. Looking for Benedict (for me) and Depp (For my friend)

I’ll be at the e Broadway site sometime after noonish. I hope Benedict and Johnny are there!

But it was really boring watching the filming on w3rd street today, though I met some really nice people.

After I went to the G Street site and construction work was going on in the house.

Thanks to all for posting info….please continue. Anybody with info about Friday’s shooting, that would be great!

I am here. The correct address they are filming at today is 787 E Broadway, South Boston. Took me forever to find it.

Good news! Benedict will be at the Harvard Club on Commonwealth Ave on June 24th! His official start on the film is Monday, and this is where he will be filming on Tuesday. Source: a very kind crew member just told me when he saw me waiting in the hot sun. 🙂

Ok, so if Benedict is starting on the film on Monday, then he should be at Monday’s shoot in Lynn, right? If you could confirm that, it would be great!

Wow! Thnx for getting the scoop Samantha! 🙂

Thanks for the info, everyone. 🙂 It has been quite helpful so far. It would be fun to meet some of you as well, although I don’t know how we would know each other. How many people have been haunting around, trying to catch glimpses of them ? I’ll be around hopefully starting Friday.

Hey Samantha! U still wait at the place that you posted earlier? Did anyone show up? If it is possible that I think I can go there in an hour.

So, is this filming all done in the interior of these locations ? Or have some things been filmed outside ?

To anyone that is on set today on E Broadway, do you know if Julianne Nicholson is called today? I know she was on set yesterday shooting. I’m a big fan and would love to know if she’s around again today. Thank you!

If anyone from the Baltimore/Washington, D.C./Delaware/New Jersey/New York City area is considering traveling up to Boston (would driving be cheapest if cost split among fans?) for this Benedict C filming funfest and could use like minded fan to share travel and/or hotel expenses & the joy of seeing BC live, give me a holler. I’m thinking about going, but I don’t know if it’s something folks in other states would travel that far to see or if this event is more appropriate for just local folks to enjoy.

Benedict is at the east broadway site now (2pm). I think Sienna Guillory (?) just left.

No way! Bc is here now at the set?!

I was busy with something else so that I could not be there earlier. Now having lunch and not sure it is still worth to go today. Or I should just wait till tomorrow with the rest of you guys?!

Yeah he left around 2:15. Sorry!

Thank you Joanne! For letting me know about it!

I will go tomorrow then, to check the shooting on c street.

Anyone going?

Joanne:

So he was only there for 15 mins? Bollox! If you don’t mind my asking how his demenour seemed? Did he greet any fans or address those of you that were there at all? And most importantly, any idea if he might be drop by later!? (From crew, etc. perhaps?) Apolgies for all the questions! Just eager to see him in a restive manner to his job and craft! Thanks!

Oh no, missed him. Thnx for the updates everyone! I hope to make it to C street tmrw. 🙂

One of the neighbors said he got there around 1:15, 1:30ish and waved and went in the house. Then one of the actresses left in costume and a few minutes later he came out. I think he was in feeding lines to her (he’s known for doing that when he’s not busy). He walked around and talked to the crew for a few then walked to a van and got in. He was waving to fans from both outside and inside the van but didn’t come over to chat (there was a camera guy from channel 7 there and a paparazzi (who was actually kinda nice) standing right there which could explain that). Then he left in the van and waved some more.

He was probably there for an hour or so? But he’s not confirmed to start filming until next week.

Oh yeah. Wearing a dark blue polo shirt and the damn white flat cap (someone in line with us called it a scolley/scully cap and I will admit I squeed a bit) and carrying his khaki fabric messenger bag.

Ok it may have been Julianne Nicholson he was inside with since he’s worked with her before. So far all the Southie sites have been inside.

Where on Comm Ave is the Harvard Club? I may go to the C Street site tomorrow.

Thank you Q!

Is Johnny Depp on set now at 787 E Broadway, South Boston ?
Does anybody know what hotel or home he is staying at?

Dang, not confirmed until next Tuesday. I really wish I could call out sick from work. I wonder if its even worth going up on Saturday. (Coming from Providence area with two friends) Doesn’t seem like they will be filming. If anyone who goes out tomorrow can find out and post, that would be so awesome. You are all so lovely!

If anybody would like to meet up tomorrow, i’m not sure what i’ll be wearing, but i’m gonna be with 3 other people. I have a bright pastel purple purse that i’m bringing with me and i’m rather short and i look like i could be 15 but i’m actually 18. i’ll be with 2 girls & a guy who looks like a girl (its true…).

we’re gonna get into the city probably by 9:30/10:00 depending on traffic and T travel time and will probably stay there for most of the day. 🙂

Just walked up C Street in Southie & there is nothing at all. I am gonna keep looking.

I am here too. Can we meet up?

Trucks still at yesterday’s location. Maybe packing up for today? A lot of people talking on phones

I’m by myself and just kind of walking around aimlessly. Anybody want to meet up and look together?

JK i’m currently on East Broadway at the library with my 3 friends, we’re gonna keep working our way around. Where are you?

Corner of c street and west 7th. Near west 7th mini market. I can wait here for you. Wearing shorts, black purse, carrying water bottle (female).

i’m at yesterdays movie set at 787 e broadway right now & watching but right now theyre leaving so we’re gonna try to follow xD

Should I head that way?

It looks like theyre leaving but i have no idea where theyre going

I’m wondering if it is a night shoot. All the production truck were still at East Broadway and they were taking things out of the house.

Amy and Alyssa — where are you now?

I’m waiting for the production trucks to leave to attempt to follow them at E Broadway

They aren’t really in a hurry no
matter what they are doing.

Hi JK, Amy, & Alyssa!

I was wondering if there’s any action on C Street right now. Or are the production trucks heading there?

Keep us posted. I think this is a bust for me. If they haven’t even set up C street, actors are hours from arriving

A production truck thing just left we are trying to find it now

I’ll be scouting out C Street for any filming action.

Nothing is happening on C Street. It’s completely empty. I’m heading over to the last location just to take a peek.

Thanks for all the info guys please post the location if u see any action goin on later today

Where are they headed?! i’m coming back up there now

Hey Alyssa!

We’re parked by the production trucks and waiting to see where they lead us. Any info on the last truck that left?

I just got back up here so i dont know where the other truck went. i’m standing on the corner right now i’m in a group of 4

I’m in Starbucks charging my phone. Not sure where to head.

I can’t see you. If the truck heads out too far then we’re going back to C Street just in case. I’m going to be at Harvard Club on Tuesday as well.

I may go to the Harvard club Tuesday after work, but they might be done by then.

Any news from C Street?

Hey Alyssa! Did you head back to C Street?

Violette i’m heading back there now!

We’re here now scoping out the alleyways.

Anything? Production trucks or people? It was a ghost town at 10am

I’m at the corner of W Third and C near where it looks like they could show up at later

A smaller truck just pulled up & isnt leaving on W Third st

I’m still at Starbucks charging my phone (near T Stop). As soon as I’m done charging, I’ll head back to C street. You still there, Violette?

Yeah, I’m still at C Street. But, it’s a ghost town. No production trucks, no tents, nothing…

Alyssa are you his sitting on the corner?

Yeah i’m sitting on a corner. i have a white shirt on

146 w3rd street was where they were filming Wednesday. But no Depo or Cumberbatch. I think people saw Joel Edgerton though.

I’m leaving here and heading to C street now.

I think we should just try 95 G Street

So i’m at the corner of G & Dorcester St and right now i’m not seeing anything

I’m on the corner of c street and west 7th, across from the mini market. Did you all leave already?

I can’t find anything! Do we know what time they start filming today?

This is frustrating!

The G Street site is #111 and it’s way down by M Street on the other side of Telegraph Hill. You couldn’t see it from Dorchester Street.

JK, do you see anything on C Street?

This is all very frustrating! if we could only just find where they are for sure filming then we would be good

Joanne are they filming there now?

Nothing on c street.

GUYS!!! We asked the crew back at the last location and they said they’re not filming in Boston today.

Violette did you get where they are filming?

Don’t think so but someone said it looked like they were setting up at the w3rd site.

Just replying to a comment from someone who said they were on Dorchester Street and couldn’t see any filming on G street. You wouldn’t be able to see anything at the G Street site unless you were up on Telegraph Hill or further down on M Street.

I was there Wednesday and there was construction going on in the house.

Well the crew told me they were filming in Everett.

Everett? Oy!

Yeah. The crew said they’d be back to filming in Boston on Monday. Nevertheless, we’re going to do one more quick drive by C Street.

What do you all think about Monday in Lynn? It’s going to be a big shoot. Closing off streets all day to recreate the parade. Personally, I think it’s likely that BC would be there considering he plays a politician. This is only a guess, but we were told BC officially starts on set next week and that he would be at Harvard Club on tues, but why not Lynn the day before?

Nothing on c street. Don’t bother.

My friends and i are pretty much giving up. We’re gonna go into the city & who knows maybe Benedict will be out and about

I understand they already have the parade extras, too. But I’m considering taking off Monday from work. Permits are pulled, parking band in place… so it’s happening. Just not sure BC will be there.

well if some of you want to get together on Monday and have a look, I’d be in. Too bad there seems to be nothing today, unless they’re in Everett today (who knows where).

As for Tuesday, shooting will be inside and there are lots of entrances. Might see them come and go.

I wish we knew for sure if BC is in the parade scene. I think I’m giving up and heading home. Glad I already had the day off anyway. What a bust.

Violette, have you given up, too?

no one is going to try Everett, if that’s where the crew said they were filming (presumably today) ? Too hard to try to find something ?

So is it for sure in everett

Nothing on C street. I came in by train this time, so I’m on foot. I’m not going to Everett. Good luck to those who do. Post here!

Found them!!! they’re in Everett

Violette where in Everett & do you know if you can get there by train? i took the train in

The security is really tight though. Nobody is supposed to be here I think, so we’re going home. But hey, maybe the auburn haired guy that I saw walking was BC.

I suggest that none of us go because the security guards are eyeing us and pointing to our car. It’s in a warehouse and the entrance is wide open but they don’t look too friendly.

That’s a bummer. I wonder if they scrapped the C street locale for this since both are a warehouse. Sorry I missed meeting everyone. I think I need BC to leave Boston. He makes me want to bunk work and stake out film sets.

On train headed home. We were all in the same places at the same time but never ran into each other! Would like to have said hello in person. Maybe Monday!

The Monday site in Lynn is ginormous and they’ve got all the streets around shut down.

I’d suggest taking the commuter rail (Rockport line) and walking. It’s only a few blocks.

BC will most likely be there because Billy Bulger was a Southie politician and they all go to the St. Paddy’s Day parade.

Kind of goes with the job.

That’s been my gut feeling all along, that Ben would start on Monday in Lynn at the parade. I wonder if we’ll be able to see anything. Or if they would keep the crowds blocked off in such a way that you can’t even watch. I want to be an extra!

I wanted to go to the casting call they had for extras but I was on crutches on at the time and it would have involved the T, shuttle busses (freaking red line shutdowns) walking and a lot of waiting around.

Maybe on 2 good feet but not after surgery 🙁

Violette – can you grab some pix and post them, preferably to tumblr if you have a blog there?

Hey violet my family is actually staying near Everett and were hoping to just stop by, do u by chance have a address

I know what you mean Dana! Thank God Boston’s a small place! I’d live to catch him on a duck boat 🙂

Major disappointment on C St. today. I’m going to be closely following all of your comments here with hope in my heart, and perhaps an opportunity will fall into the right time in my schedule. 🙂

I checked the Everett location tonight, there was a whole bunch of old cars and they filmed some cars and broken glass but no big actors tonight, we were told though that shooting in Lynn on Monday will start in the morning before 10

Took the day off , will be wearing green this Monday for the 1970s st Patrick parade.. on union st lynn

Someone should meet with me nd where green maybe can become extras

passed by central square in lynn and they are creating the st Patrick scene

Heading into the city now. If anyone spots him let me know!

Can I get an opinion? If you were looking for BC and only had one day to take off work, would you go to Lynn on Monday or to the Harvard Club on Tuesday for the day? Though the filming is outside in Lynn, I’ve just printed a map and highlighted the road closures and the streets with traffic control. If they don’t let foot traffic onto Union or Mount Vernon Streets (they may not), we won’t see anything at all. And the actors could arrive on set from either end of the streets, so you might miss them coming and going. I believe they already have all their extras. If anyone who is an “extra” is reading this, maybe you could share with us when you are supposed to show up, etc.

ThThe extras needs to be there at 530 am the shooting starts at 6 am shooting ends at 11pm and if ur an extra u need to take 3 diff outfiys of that era

I’m figuring the Monday shoot would be better. It will be outside, and Billy Bulger most def would have been at that parade. Attending the Southie SPD parade is still pretty much a requirement for all Boston politicians.

It’s just going to be such a huge set is all.

The Harvard Club on Tuesday you might catch him going in in the morning or coming out when he’s done but that’s it.

I stopped by corner of Exchange and Union Streets in Lynn this afternoon as laborers were busy painting and hanging banners in order to recreate a St. Paddy’s Day parade in Boston sometime in the 70’s. I don’t live very far from that location, so I will be there during filming on Monday.

So….definitely had a successful day. Ran into Benedict on Newbury Street. Minor panic attack, calmed down with some sangria and eventually got the courage to tell him hello. He looked me right in the eye and talked to me. Literally dying. We had just about given up on finding him and then there he was. He’s just as pretty in person as he is in the photos. The hat gave him away though. I knew what to look for and I had my Cumbysense on high alert. Perfect day! Good luck to all who venture out to the set.

Dana,
Good for you! I really thought it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Boston is small, but not that small. I think you did the impossible! I just about had a heart attack reading your post. Did you get a picture? I’m happy for you!

Dana- was he back at Sonsie?

Suppose he also could have been scoping out the Harvard Club set. It’s near there.

They have a tent up on federal street in Lynn. It’s so dark in there that u won’t be able to know they’ rthere.. lol I noticed cause I was driving slow check my phone .. its so cool

It’s extras holding and extras parkin

Kelly, Ben’s actually KNOWN for being friendly with fans and happy to chat and take pictures with them off set.

It’s when he’s working that he’s said it can be annoying. I say good for Dana, she was nice, polite and didn’t get all creepy about it.

STALKING is what happened to David Letterman and it was scary and ended up in court.

Dana was just having one fun day out with her friends. That is not stalking and you’re demeaning the experiences of anyone who truly has been stalked.

Definitely want to go in to watch them film!

Hey! Is anyone going to Lynn today, for the big parade scene? I’ll be there pretty early to try and catch an certain actor before he arrives 🙂

Good luck to everyone going to Lynn today!

I’m in Lynn now with a friend. Trying to get the best vantage point.

I will be there today, coral top, yellow sweater and pants (I’m a gal). I do not have a smart phone, so once I am away from my computer here, I won’t be able to see peoples’ comments or post. If anyone sees me, feel free to say hi. Not sure how busy it will be. Sounds like a large area. Tips on good location to go to ?

Hey JK! Maybe we’ll meet. See a gods vantage point yet? Did the actors arrive? 🙂

Very few places to watch. They kicked us off Mount Vernon where the parade is lining up. They’re practicing with the parade and band. Tent over near Blake Street.

I don’t think actors are here yet but there is an RV here near the tent with chairs. Not sure who in the RV.

I heard that the parade will take place on Market St? Not sure if this is true though. So, is Blake Street a good viewing spot?

on this web page, it says the parade will be going down Mt Vernon and then up Union St.

https://lynnhappens.com/2014/06/16/filming-to-resume-downtown-june-23/

Anybody here? I’m in a black dress 🙂

I’m headed out now. I’ll be in the area about 11:30 am, then I’m not sure where it’s best to go. Say hi if anyone spots me… no smart phone here, so I can’t follow the site once I leave here …. coral top, yellow sweater and pants.

this map may help you guys

Hey Guys! Probably leaving around 3:00-3:30.

I can confirm that Ben and Depp are on site. They are filming many takes of the parade. No dialogue fiong that I can tell. Ben is carrying a baton in the parade.

From what I can see, he looks handsome.

Does anyone know if they’re filming tomorrow & where? I was on C St. last week, but no Depp

Photos of Ben as Billy here. https://twitter.com/cjs_rumors/with_replies

Photos of Ben with the baton in the parade are now on The Daily Item’s facebook page.

I got here at 7:00, so got in a business before security kicked everyone off the street. Watching from inside.

andI saw jdepp his trailer is in the parking lot near the clinic . I was ten feet away and they kicked us out we was too close . Security is tight. They keep cutting and shooting the scene over and over . I left

All the actors just left. The crew said they don’t know if they’re coming back or not. At least BC waved directly at me! Maybe we’ll be even luckier tomorrow 🙂

Can anyone find out where they’ll be filming beyond tomorrow? Cause that’s the last date we know about.

Dang it! Just Finished my appointment and was going to head over. 🙁
Is anyone going tomorrow? or is anyone traveling from the North Shore to Boston?

I met Benedict! I got to shake his hand and tell him hello, nice job today. I asked him for a picture but he said he was sorry, he couldn’t. I told him I understood. He was very nice. And sweaty. He looked very tired and hot from the heat today. So happy!

A good day. I got plenty of views of BC and a couple of Johnny Depp from two different locations. They were there filming both before and after their lunch break.

Filming at Harvard Club in Boston tomorrow. I was told they would be back, at some point, to film more scenes in Lynn. Beyond tomorrow, they didn’t know (at least the person I talked to). She said that they don’t tell them much more than a day or two ahead of time.

OK, Who’s going to harvard club tomorrow???? i must go

which harvard club?? there’s 2 locations

I met him at the end of his shooting. Basically, I got there very, very early in the morning and checked out the entire set before the heavy security was in place. I was on filming street, kind of opposite from where the tents and trailers were. We were up against a building in an alcove and being quiet and respectful. The security guard was actually very nice to us because we were being so good and told us we could stay if we were quiet. The office manager of the building also said it was cool we could stay and let us into her building to watch through the glass. There were some very obnoxious girls who kept trying to walk down the street and kept getting in the shot (i.e. not listening). Security had a real hard time with them and eventually kept pushing people further and further back. We stayed put and were quiet.

Eventually, we had to clear the street and we watched from inside the building. The security guard was funny because he knew two of us were Depp fans and two were Cumberbatch fans so if I wasn’t paying attention and Benedict was there, he would gently tap on the glass for me and then point at Ben and I would give him a thumbs up.

Watched the parade over and over. Benedict didn’t come down as far as us, but we could see him about 40 feet away or so. There was a “stand-in” for him, too, so when Benedict wasn’t in a shot, or they needed someone for framing, the stand in was in. At the end of the day, the stand in did most of the shots because they were filming the back end that we couldn’t see (with Depp). Then Benedict did the parade two more times. He was funny. Doing a little jig as he marched. While he was waiting, he held the baton and was doing little kicks, like one of the Rockette’s. When he wasn’t shooting, he usually went back over to the black tent (probably to watch what was just filmed). He flipped the firefighters off on the truck as it rolled by and they were like, “Did he just flip us off?” and started laughing.

I did see Johnny Depp a few times (he also had a stand-in dressed just like him), but usually just as he crossed the road to go back to the tent or his trailer.

When they wrapped the parade stuff, we went outside and were just standing there, talking to security. The vans pulled up, presumably to take the actors away. Benedict was standing in the street, taking off his jacket — it was HOT outside and everyone was dressed in the parade for March weather. The security guard kind of motioned for me to go over. I hesitated at first, but he was motioning me as if to say, ‘I can’t walk you over, and I can’t tell you to go, but I won’t stop you, either.’ By this time, the other Benedict fan had already left, and the other two were Depp fans. So I slowly walked over. He was talking to two of the people in the band and shaking hands, so I just waited, patiently. His back was to me, and I just said, “Excuse me, Ben.” And I have no idea why I called him that. Like I know him! It’s Benedict! But we had been referring to him like that all day, so it just slipped out. He turned around and I just said that I just wanted to come over, say hello and shake his hand and he said, “Oh, hello” and shook my hand. I told him he did a nice job today and he thanked me and asked me if I was part of the crew. I told him that I had been watching from a building and then I asked if it would be possible to take a picture. He said “I’m sorry — the crowd — I can’t” and I told him that I understood. It’s blurry whether he said “It’s nice to meet you” or if I did. See how fast you forget. Cumberflustered. At least I got a handshake. To my knowledge, I was the only fan, other than the extras, who got to meet him. And I do know how incredibly lucky I was today.

Good luck to everyone else! I had a wonderful day! Benedict is very nice. He looked very tired and he was very sweaty! I can tell you that he has a nice handshake and just as good looking in person.

JK, that’s amazing! How did you manage that? Like how late did you stay and where were you standing?

I thought of that after you left and thought is swing by on my way home but I was too Cumberflustered. :). I shook his hand. Squeeeee!!!

Please ignore than last post. It was a text to a friend and I accidentally posted it here. As I said, Cumberflustered and tired.

Violette, I think I stayed until about 6:00 or 6:30 or so. Long day.

JK, wow, great write up ! Good for you ! Thanks for telling us about it ! It sounds like you did a lot of scoping things out and build some good rapport with the security guard, so that wasn’t all luck !! I had a bit of luck myself. I was nice to the people around me, including the police in the initial spots I was in, and he let me take a couple pictures even though I wasn’t supposed to in that spot. In my later location, I was talking to several of the people around me. They were almost all Johnny Depp fans, but the two gals next to me knew that I was looking to spot Benedict and they were great about telling me “there he is !” and they spotted him even when I didn’t and pointed him out to me. 🙂 Being nice to people around you is fun and can also be helpful. 🙂 Johnny Depp was very responsive. Whenever fans yelled at him, he’d pose and / or wave. At one point, he said “I love you” to us fans … ha ha. Benedict also did a wave to us at one point when people reacted to seeing him, waving with both hands from behind a sideways-parked car, similar to his U2 photobomb pose.

VV, sounds like you had a great day, too. There really wasn’t a good vantage point from anywhere, but we did ok. Being nice and respectful always helps. We weren’t supposed to take pictures, either, but the security guard was cool with it, as long as we were discreet. My pictures are zoomed and a little blurry, so they are not great, but a momento from the day.

In the last two locations where I spent most of my time today, which was by their parked cars and RVs when they came back after filming shots, then later where Benedict was being filmed marching with his stick in the parade, they allowed us to take as many pictures as we wanted. I think I got some good ones. I haven’t looked yet. Mine are zoomed too, but I have a decent camera with a telephoto lens, 10x zoom (not as close a zoom as I would like, but pretty good). At one point when Benedict was marching along with his stick, I swore he looked right at us and posed and held a hand up as if waving right to us. 🙂 I’m sure he was aware that several of us were taking pictures. I tried to get my camera to click but it wouldn’t, argh ! When it’s fully zoomed out, it’s not always cooperative about focusing. It would have been such a great shot ! I felt a bit papparazzi-ish taking those pictures at times, but no one objected and Benedict didn’t look like he minded either. 🙂

VV, I can tell you that he DID wave to you guys over there. I was watching him from the other side and I saw him turn and wave (the two-handed). He did that on purpose. You were not imagining it. I mostly used my iPhone because my other camera is not discreet!

oh and it was a really nice woman (a major Benedict fan) that I was talking to at the one location that told me about the second location and we both went there together when the filming and extras shuffled away from the spot we were in. We were even closer in distance to Benedict there in that second spot and saw him more there. I hope the pictures turn out. That was right at the end of his day, by the sound of it, finishing around 6 pm.

Guys, when do you think will be the best time to go to Harvard club tomorrow?

they will probably be doing set up around 7am, may not start shooting til 9 or 10am.
i’m guessing at this. last june i was in L.A. to see them shoot an episode of Dexter. The crew was there in the am, the actors didn’t show up til about 10am. they shot til about 2pm, lunch, then returned for the rest of the day. shooting didn’t end til 9pm.
i think this location may be a bit tricky regarding camp-out areas, just because of how comm. ave is. it’s really only up and down the street and as others have said, they keep you FAR away from where shooting is taking place. plus, you’re on a major street w/highway so it’s not like we can go across the street. not sure how this will work.
ideas, anyone?

I was also at the parade today but did not get a good vantage point. Did you guys get tons of pictures? I sadly couldn’t… Anyway, do you guys know if Benedict will be filming in Lynn again? I’ll be stalking this website for news so please let me know 🙂

Is anyone at the Harvard Club site yet? Do you think it’s worth a shot to go? I know they’re doing inside filming, and the location seems a bit tough to get a good vantage point of the actors.

I’m also hoping to get there in the afternoon, hope timing works out.

Amy, I just saw that our quotes did make the Herald’s Inside Track. Too funny. I’m at work and I can’t even function today. Hope some of you get to see him today.

If you are on set today can you try to find out what may be happening in the next few days? I’d heard that they would be shooting scenes with BC this weekend but haven’t been able to find out location information. If anything is happening tomorrow I could make it…was working yesterday, and again today. Thanks for any tips, good luck, and have fun!

All the trucks are parked on the corner of Berkely & Columbus. Hope to see JD on my way home from work!

Phew, who knew one mans presence in a city could be so damn distracting ?? Sure wish I was working in my Boston office today. It’s on Berkely! Sending lots of luck out to anyone going today.

Any word on what’s going on? Yes, I may need him to leave the city so I can be productive again.

Im in Concord- would love to know if anyone has scoped out maybe where BC is staying, hanging out? I saw on Instagram a pic someone had of him just hanging out alone in a bar… Id just love to see him in the flesh and take a pic (not necessarily interfere with his personal space or quiet time ya know) or even with him but anyway- if anyone knows or wants to meet up maybe Fri let me know 🙂

I’m guessing no one is really down there as I haven’t seen anything.

Are they at Harvard club today? Anyone have an idea how long they will be there?

I just got back from the Harvard Club. They r there filming inside. Not much happening outside when I was there. I heard they will be there until 6:30pm.

They are probably trying to conserve their phone batteries.

Amy, my pictures from yesterday were not great — just taken with my iPhone.

Any info on tomorrow’s schedule? I really tried to find out for you all but they said they don’t know much beyond a day in advance (at least the security).

I just left the area. On the Commonwealth Ave. side they have a bunch of old cars from the 70’s parked. A security guard also said they would be filming there tomorrow too.

OK, the Herald referring to this site as a “Cumberstalk” site and us as stalkers is insulting and ignorant. No wonder Ben isn’t being his normal outgoing, happy to take pointybatch pictures with people.

I wasn’t dissing you Amy it was directed at the Herald. Calling this place a “Cumberstalk site” and his fans “stalkers” is just plain ignorant.

Hey guys do any of you know if and where they are gonna be shooting tomorrow (the 25th)? I am DYING to see Benedict!

Amy and Joanne: seriously? Excellent journalism Herald. We are just excited fans who want to see someone we admire! He’s never been here to film before. It really is insulting and frankly quite hurtful.

I’ve only seen one photo of him outside the Harvard Club. Any news? Anyone going there tomorrow?

Is anyone still at the harvard club? Has BC been spotted again? I am planning to head over soon, if they’re still there! Thanks! 🙂

We walked around for a while at the Harvard Club today, saw some old cars, talked to a couple of nice security folks and film crew. Everything was inside, and I wasn’t able to stay until late. Good luck everyone!

And they will be filming there again tomorrow.

My friend volunteers at a preschool over by the Berkeley Street/Columbus Ave site and said one of the trailers in the parking lots had “William Bulger” on the side.

is there anyone here who loves johnny depp?? or am i the only one??? can’t wait to see him!!

Katy, HOW did you meet him??? You have to spill the beans now, lol. I would act normal (don’t want to scare the guy) but inside I’d be FREAKIN out.

Why does it seem like Johnny’s having a lot more fun filming here than Ben? He’s hugging people and taking pictures with them while Ben seems to be trying to hide 🙁

Does anyone know where they’ll be filming this weekend (6/28 & 6/29)? I’d love to make the 2 &1/2 hr drive for the chance to see Johnny & Benedict!

I just wish Ben was having a better time. There’s so much to do and see here – can you imagine him on a Duck Boat tour? I’d love to see him do that. Just relaxing and enjoying himself.

But then again with the Herald referring to us (his fans) as stalkers (not to mention some Rebecca [Eaton I think] from Masterpiece Theater) how can he.

Though I will admit there have been some kind of creepy posts on tumblr from fans desparate to meet him.

Anyone know the Black Mass filming upcoming locations may be (Wednesday to Sunday)?

Anyone know where the upcoming Black Mass filming locations may be (Wednesday 25th to Saturday 28th)?

The Anglophile Channel has posted this pic on their fb page yesterday :
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=892822917413183&set=a.540818442613634.137542.521167197912092&type=1&theater
Byline: “Benedict Cumberbatch on location in Lynn, Massachusetts shooting his latest film ‘Black Mass’.”

Did anyone go this morning? Hopefully someone can find out next locations.

Hi guys I am a huge Johnny Depp fan!Does anybody know where r they filming tomorrow???
And what time?

Does anyone know if they (Ben) are filming next week? looking to drive up from Maryland..

Does anyone know if they are filming this weekend? or next? would love to go watch. huge JD fan. Aslo love watching them film movies. keep me informed please 🙂

Anyone at the harvard club today? Any BC?

They are filming at the Harvard club, no sightings of actors yet

Just met up with someone outside who said she spotted a tall man from the back wearing navy blue polo and white flat cap. Also spoke to lighting guy who says BC is inside

Just heard they’ll be filming at Ashmont Grill in Dorchester tomorrow based in info from Boston PD.

No confirmation on actors for tomorrow. Re: today, Teamsters say lunch break at 1:30 if they are running on time. BC should be out then…we shall see

What movie is being filmed on Ocean St/Roslyn St in Dorchester? I noticed “Do not park/Film Production” signs posted yesterday and the trailors have began moving in on the block. It’s the second time within a year or so that corner house or streets have been used.

Would they be filming on Friday, July 4, or no way because of the holiday and the crowds normally in Boston for July 4?

For those who are thinking about traveling from distances, I just want you to be careful because it’s been hit or miss and locations aren’t really a sure thing until a day or two ahead. To my knowledge, there isn’t any filming over the weekends (I’m sure it’s a union thing). Maybe someone here can confirm that. Depp and his girlfriend have been visiting each other on their sets (she’s filming in NY), so it’s possible Depp will be in NY, rather than Boston this weekend. Last Friday was a bust for me. They weren’t filming where they said and when they were filming in the warehouse in Everett, it was just scenes without the actors (from what I understand). So… I’m not telling anyone not to travel, but just to keep that in mind. I would just hate for anyone to spend a lot of money and time and go home really disappointed, that’s all.
On that note, like a moth to a flame, I can’t stop reading these comments and hoping to stop by a location after work some time this week, if it’s close enough to me. Has Benedict gone over to fans outside of Harvard to greet them, or has it all just been quickly coming and going and waving? Curious to know if he has stopped and taken pictures with fans or autographs or if it’s all business right now because he’s busy working. Hope those who went to the set today were lucky!

Anybody know how late the filming might go tonight at the Harvard Club?

hey so I live around the Boston area and I was thinking of staying around Dorchester to see filming tomorrow. I’m a huge BC fan and it would be amazing just to catch a glimpse of him. Does anyone have definite location spots in Dorchester or any tips for me? I hope it’s worth it

Ashmont Grill is opened at normal time tomorrow night. Hmm.

Hey Sam……….you around?? Anyone no for sure if they are filming in Dorchester tomorrow? If so, I can make it

Hi Does anyone know if Johnny Depp will be filming tomorrow and where?
thanks

No Luck today. Seems that BC left the set early. Security said they are not filming there tomorrow.

Crew members say BC is still inside!

It made me sad to hear that they don’t film on the weekends. I have weekends off & was gonna make the drive out from the Berkshires this weekend. Although, if they do any filming in the evening I could make the drive out after work one day durring the week. I’m a fan of both Johnny & Benedict! I’m so excited that they are gonna be in a movie together!

What is being filmed tonight on Beach St., Rockport MA?

If anyone knows where they will be filming on Friday the 27th in Boston, please post! I’m dying to get another look at the set!

Does anyone know a general time frame for the Ashmont tomorrow? Or if there are is a solid schedule for Friday or Saturday? I have been scouring the internet but to no avail… and I’ll be home for a few days starting tomorrow so I really want to try and get to Southie!

Anyone around there this morning? It’s possible filming is not at the restaurant itself.

good luck everyone!

Just left Ashmont Grill, no sign of anything

Amy, where on Ocean Street. Is JD there and are they shooting outside? Thanx!

Anyone know if BC is on set Friday and where? Thanks!

They ARE in Dorchester somewhere. A tweet from benjaminrdlc is across the street. It’s Xmas 1982

Roslin and Ocean Street! No idea who’ll be here though.

Benedict just went in 12:45! Katy is here too getting pix!

Johnny just went in! 12:50!

Hoping someone can find out if they are there tomorrow…?and please post the address….? Thanks!

A very nice PA said they’re filming at the house at Ocean and Roslin again Friday. All the stars were there, along with a bunch of little kid extras. This is the first time I’ve seen JD and he was dressed up in a suit and tie, not Whitey’s usual thug gear.

They aren’t filming this weekend.

Thanks for all the info guys! Hoping some news pops up for the 30th as I have a half day at work to see the sox/cubs game that night!!

So…there are notices outside the State House about film crew parking only from 4pm-9pm. Anyone know anything about that? Because I’m going to be in the State House until 5 and considering BC is playing a state senator I would think that would be something he would have to be involved in.

They are all inside the house now! If you drive up Ocean St, can’t miss it! Even Benedict is there. Everyone looked so nice in their fancy clothes. They are filming a Christmas party scene

I got a pic of Benedict, Samantha. Not sure how it will come out. We tried to get close to get good shots, but security kept stopping us….

Oh, I don’t know if I showed anyone, but I was able to get a couple of shots of Benedict on Tuesday evening when he came out of the Harvard Club: https://estychan.tumblr.com/post/89822578601/benedict-cumberbatch-on-the-set-of-black-mass-at

Katy and I left around 1 after all the actors had gone in. The nice PA I was talking to said they’d be at Ocean Street tomorrow as well but the crew only gets told a day ahead where they’ll be filming. He also said that shooting would be going on til 11pm tonight.

And Katy neglected to mention that we were so excited to see JD that we almost got run over by a police car :p

LOL Joanne!! Gotta watch those cop cars…..

Oh Sam – the men’s clothes are AWFUL! Early 80’s polyester wide lapel suits.

The ladies look smashing though!

Katy – FB isn’t letting me send a friend request. No clue why.

Is anyone still there? I will be heading over soon, and I want to make sure I go to the right place! I was thinking of taking the red line from Alewife, since it looks like there’s a stop right nearby…

Casey – the Ashmont station is a 5 minute walk. Come out of the station and cross Ashmont street. Go up a slight hill (why are all the sets on freakin hills????) and Ocean Street is the second street down on the right.

You can’t miss all the trucks. They’re supposed to be filming really late tonight.

Katy – I sent you a message on FB. Try sending me a request.

Katy- that fixed it! Friend request sent 🙂

Any word on whether they’re filming at the State House at some point?

Great job with the info, everyone. Thanks ! 🙂 Any way to find out what time they might start on Friday ? Sounds like a PA (a what ??) said they’ll be at the same house on Friday ?

PA = production assistant. Mostly they stand around and don’t do anything (poor guys – boooooring) but that’s where you start in the industry. This guy hasn’t even met any of the actors!

Not sure what time they’re starting, but I’m figuring on getting there at about the same time as today – 11:00-11:30ish. It’s a nice site cause across the street is a big tree and a curb you can sit on.

OK, thanks Joanne ! I’m thinking of heading down there tomorrow morning as well. I’m not sure yet what time though.

I would love to know where the pix of Ben getting out of the van w/ the guy holding the umbrella for him on tumblr came from. That’s exactly where I was standing and I don’t remember seeing anyone with that big/good a camera by me :/

I just read that “#KevinBacon is the latest actor to have joined the Boston filming.” Really !?

Anyone still there? I just got on the t in alewife, I’ll be there in about 40 minutes!

I was standing at exactly the angle those photos were taken! I’m wondering if the pap paid the owner of the house we were standing in front of to let him shoot from there.

Security wouldn’t let us stand on Roslin Street once the actors started to arrive. The police said we could but security said no.

Katy I posted some of your pix to my tumblr. Get one! It’s a piece of cake!

MAN I wish I could come to set with you guys and say hi! You all seem so fun and nice.

Yeah but Dana – you got to MEET him! Wish I’d known where you were leaving from, I would have asked to come with last Saturday 😀

And so much for the Herald writing this off as a stalker site – more like a make new friends site!

My tumblr name is booskerdu and the blog is called pureimagination. Or something like that 🙂

And I met Sam last week, just didn’t know it was you! Never forget the hat!

hey everyone, just wondering if anyone knows any specifics as to where they are shooting tomorrow?

Welcome to the wild wonderful world of tumblr Katy!

Katie – the PA I spoke to today said they’d be at the same place as today – corner of Ocean and Roslin Streets in Dorchester.

There’s street parking, or it’s a 5 minute walk from the Ashmont T station.

OMG Joanne!!!!!! I am so sorry I think I hit the wrong button and all your pics are on my Tumblr………I am learning

No Katylove that’s called reblogging. They’re still on my blog but now they’ve been shared to yours. That’s how tumblr works. You find stuff and reblog it to your dash.

And any pix or posts you make put “black mass”, “Benedict Cumberbatch” and “Johnny Depp” in the little lock box part (w/out ” or #) and tumblr will automatically hashtag them for you for other people to search for them.

Any word whether Benedict will be on location tomorrow? Thanks!

thank you so much Joanne! 🙂

No clue but since he was there today it’s a good chance he’ll be there tomorrow. When I asked the PA he said the only actor on the call sheet for today was Joel Edgerton, but then everyone showed up.

And I think we should meet up where Dana found him 😉

Thanks Joanne!

Who me Dana??

MWAHAHAHA!

May I ask where Dana met Ben?? (Please forgive duplicates, having trouble posting from my phone.)

Sorry but I have to agree with Dana on this one. The only reason I know is because I guessed it. The Herald has already called this a “stalker site” and someone on here came right out and accused Dana of stalking him, not truly understanding what stalking actually is (listen to The eminently creepy Robin Thicke’s new album and watch the videos about his ex wife and you’ll understand what stalking REALLY is).

But I do think it would be fun if a bunch of us met up there to watch FIFA and see if he shows up. We could ask him to join us and tell him thank you for all the new friends we’ve made thanks to him being in Boston.

And I’m glad you’re enjoying my tumblr! Pretty random, but wtf. Check out Khan and Kittens! You’ll wonder how you ever lived without that blog!

Does anyone know what they mean by Fid Kennedy for the July 9th date?

thanks for all the updates yesterday everyone! any luck with meeting Ben last night after they wrapped? I read that the filming went on pretty late. Are they at the same address today as well?

Any idea where they are shooting Black Mass today?

I’m heading over to the Ocean and Roslin street set in Dorchester now. Hope to see some of you there!

AR – I was wearing the purple shirt, glasses and ponytail. Katy had on a white baseball cap. She and I left around 1pm after the actors arrived.

Hey, I’m new. Is there anyone on the Ocean St set? You all seem like good people and I’d like to be with some fellow fans than by myself. I’m the one in the purple dress

Seems a little quiet today.. is anyone already there? I would be ever so grateful if we can get some info about next week’s filming.. I’ll be driving up 8 hours on Monday to see Ben!

Amy, I’m not sure. I don’t know how close I can get and there only seems to be cameramen and policemen. I might be on wrong side…

I also second the question about filming locations on Monday and Tuesday?
Also does anyone have an idea of where in Boston Ben is staying? Where has he been kicking back?

If anybody at any point hears anything about when they might wrap up, please let me know. I want to go back up to Boston so desperately to try to see Ben again but i have no friends to go up with because they’re all tight on money after going up last Friday 🙁

If they are downtown or in southie on Monday afternoon I’ll be up there!

anyone in Dorchester now that wants to meet up? my friend and I are walking to the set now 🙂

we feel out of place and would like to have someone to meet up with lol

A few of us that had been there this morning left around 1:10. All the actors were in by 12:30 today. Don’t know if they’ll be popping out for lunch but they’ll be filming all day.

We were standing/sitting down by the spiffy cars.

if anyone wants to meet up now, I’ll be there shortly I’m wearing a denim shirt with a big black hat!

my friend and user here now, if anyone wants to chill I’m the girl in the denim shirt and the big black hat. sorry if that posted several times!

I think I see you, Katie. I’m the one in the purple dress

Laura and Katie,

Has he been popping out at all? Johnny kept going into his trailer. Rory Cochrane smoked on the lawn, but Ben stayed inside until they left for dinner and then left for the night.

where are they filming today?

Hi everyone! This is Ruth, I guess I didn’t post with my name last time. It was very nice meeting everyone today! Hope to see you soon.

Do you know if Dakota is done filming already? She doesnt seem to be in Boston.

hey everyone, for all those who went today, do you know where they are filming next week?

Dakota went into the Ocean Street house this morning.

Sienna and Dakota were definitely there. I’m pretty sure Julianne Nicholson was as well.

Katy – check your FB messages.

Joanne – are you going to be there next week? I heard they are filming at Southie High. is that right?

Hi. For those who went, just curious how things went today. Which actors showed up and are they still there? I’m really surprised that BC hasn’t come over to the waiting fans at all. Not even for a quick group picture or to sign a few things. Maybe he’s been told not to do it by the movie company. I know he’s working, and very tired after a long shoot, but it’s a little surprising, no?

Is there any word on Monday’s shoot? Southie High?

Maybe it’s typical at movie shoots??? “If we ignore them, maybe they’ll go away, or not grow in numbers turning up.” Who knows. Disappointing, though.

Hello,
Just saw a tweet from an E Boston resident that they will be filming on Putnam St in Eastie on 7/3 (per a notice on his door). It’ll be an afternoon shot followed by an overnight shoot.

Thank so much for all of the updates, so glad people are filming info and locations, here’s another update from Twitter re: Mon/Tues too that I don’t think was posted here yet icymi:
“@punkroxmum @anniemclbourke @Lisibelle87 @WelcomeToDot @olv South Boston high on Monday. A funeral scene Tuesday ). Ben shoots next week then he’s done”

My niece & I might be driving out there Mon after work. Thanks Christine!

Hey Cami – yes Ben is known for chatting with fans at setlocks which is why it’s surprising he’s not doing it here.

I heard that something happened on one of the film locations that spooked him badly and that’s why he’s not really acknowledging anyone.

It’s really too bad. Although I can now say I’ve been w/in 20′ of Ben and I never thought if be able to say that. Or that he was in Boston, for that matter.

Joanne,
Did something happen at one of the BOSTON film locations that scared BC? Do you know what happened? Just curious if it was here or somewhere else. I just have a feeling that he’s trying to do a good job and concentrate on his work, so he’s taking cues from the other actors (i.e. Johnny isn’t going over, so he’s not, either). Or he’s been told not to go over by the film people.

hi!

so i live in the boston area and i was wondering if you know where he is going to be today or tomorrow or this week at all? i absolutely adore him and he’s gotten me through a lot, and it’s kind of like my dream to meet him and this is the first time he’s ever been remotely close, so i was just wondering if you had ANY information whatsoever!

thank you so much and PLEASE let me know if you have any information!

JK – yeah it happened here in Boston but it involved a fan, not anyone protesting the movie.

It just sucks because this is a great town and it bums me out to think that instead of having a blast taking duck boat tours and going whale watching his memory of being here will be less than positive.

Of course the Herald calling this a stalker site hasn’t helped. I’ve made a whole bunch of new friends from here, and it wouldn’t have happened if not for this film.

I also found out from a crew member Thursday that “Ted 2” is going to start filming here soon. That should be fun too!

They’d almost have to. Also Johnny at least waves and stuff

Depp has a body guard who’s a retired navy seal. Been with him for 20 years I think? I don’t think they have extra security, but I’ve never seen a movie being filmed. They might because so many places are public and not on a soundstage. There’s usually 3 or 4 cops on detail, and a couple of security people (who are really nice btw).

I would love it if the premiere was here, but I’m not holding out on it. It’ll probably be in NYC. EVERYTHING premieres in NYC or LA. 12 Years a Slave is set in Louisiana and that premiered in NYC and LA. Same for August: Osage County. It didn’t premiere in Oklahoma.

Totally unfair.

I had the same thought about dreaming of a Boston premiere. Perhaps a trip to NYC would be in order. I’ve never been to one and they seem very exciting. Although I don’t do well in massive crowds and I can imagine the excitement of catching a glimpse of my favorite actors surrounded by THAT many people might be a little overwhelming.

Hi everyone
So I’m planning on going to boston again on Tuesday and Wednesday
Does anyone know where they’ll be filming and if JD will be there?

Thanks 😉

Just saw Johnny’s RV going up Newbury Street then down Boylston Ave. at least someone’s checking out the city!

I’ll be driving up from Baltimore tomorrow and going straight to Southie High.. hope to see some of you there!! Crossing my fingers for a Ben sighting!

If I’d had half a brain I would have blown a kiss, but I was too busy thing “what the heck is Johnny’s RV doing here?”

I thought maybe he was going to check out the Newbury Street site but no, he was just taking a tour.

A very luxe tour 😉

Hey all- If anyone going to the set tomorrow can gather information on locations for Tuesday and Wednesday, it would be much appreciated.
It was good to see the recent Instagram/Tumblr photo of BC in Boston with two fans…see, he’s not scared of us! 🙂

Report: they are filming at South Boston High on Monday:

https://www.caughtinsouthie.com/arts-entertainment/black-mass-back-southie-monday-june-30th

Sorry, I have no idea which cast members will be there.

I hear a home time amateur is getting a shot at the big time in the next few days
A local Irish guy, with a great mug, will get lots of face time
all I know is his first name is Kevin from Cambridge
let’s keep our fingers crossed for the home town boy

buffalo bob the bartender

What the hell is wrong with you girls?

You do realize Benedict Cumberbatch is working, right? And you do realize that film productions cost A LOT of money and having a gaggle of annoying teeny bopper fan girls constantly in the way may disrupt filming and *that* makes BC look really bad to the film producers. Did that occur to any of you?

Do any of you realize that or you’re just to selfish to give up your fantasies that you’ll somehow lock eyes with him, he’ll drop everything on the spot and whisk you away?
Do any of you live on Planet Earth?
Flying in or driving up to watch someone work?
Are you that desperate?
Do you have any personal dignity? And the few here who have met him and just managed to mumble out asinine generalities, not a one of you have said anything meaningful, intelligent or shown up that you may be intelligent, cultured and well-brought up to him.

It not a wonder that Ben got creeped out but some idiot, obsessive fan girl. Wouldn’t you if someone was stalking you and following and monitoring your every move? He’s got an insane following in Australia, Canada, Japan, China esp. Hong Kong and the UK but without fail, it’s always in the US crap like this happens because everything operates in extremes in this country.

Leave the man alone to do his job and live his life.

Really? You took time out of your life to write that?

If anyone spots Amber Heard visiting JD on set again soon … I’d love to know!!

Okay so me and the little one tomorrow (monday)definitely. Any confirmed locations?

I’ve met up with Katy at a few of the sets and she’s right- the fans of both Johnny and Ben are respectful of the filming process and we aren’t all a bunch of teeny boppers thank you very much.

And some of us are there to see Johnny too. It’s not all about Ben.

Can’t wait for the Fabulous Bacon Boy to come to town 🙂

Also,

Most of us actually have nothing but respect for the actors and the jobs they’re doing. There’s really no point in coming on a site like this and ranting about the average visitor here. I’m a grown, educated, mother of three not only trying to show my littlest what goes in to film production as this is the first hands on opportunity available, but she gets to look at “Sherlock” and “Captain Jack Sparrow” and see them in the flesh as actual human beings. We’re not expecting anyone to drop anything to do anything for us. I was merely pointing out what had happened in the past in other places. Their job is literally being in the public eye and that’s what we’re doing. Eyeing them. In public. We’re not in their houses or hotel rooms or vehicles. We’re not screaming their names while their rolling or tearing at their clothes or doing anything else that would require security to haul us off.

With that, I’m done feeding the trolls.

South Boston high you say? any idea what time?

Whoops.. sorry about that double post.. was trying to email rachel and double posted here instead! Silly phone!!

ALright ladies and gentleman. I’ll be there in a couple of hours. I’m wearing a strapless green wrap dress thingie and the kid is wearing a tropical coloured sarong with a poof on her head. Twitter: @Geekishchic

Cami – PREACH! I’m at Broadway waiting for the bus. I’m wearing a pink top and long denim skirt.

Katy can’t make it, and probably not Dana. But I look forward to seeing the rest of you there.

If anyone is already there, what does the set look like?

PJ – snicker snicker…

Anyone know of July shoot date for Black Mass?
Thanks <3

We’re here

Ms. Charlie, you said that beautifully

Any idea what time they are shooting until? Is there parking?

I assume at least until dark. A little parking

The ultimate dilemma. I am at the hands of my husband. He’s not a fan of public transportation to get to Fenway which is where we need to be this evening. If we take our car into the city, we don’t want to arrive until after 5pm for the cheaper parking option. I am still trying to convince him that we should drive up that way and park/walk to set to kill some time and say hi to everyone. Stay tuned…I’ll be in touch.

Re: The Ben incident. I witnessed some strange behavior from some of the younger and I mean younger BD fans at the Harvard Club. One person in question posted something about trying to give him something but gave it to a guard in the end. I read she said she was at his first day of shooting in Lynn the day before. There was something strange about her and her demeanor. Looked like she was going to have a breakdown if she didn’t see him. And her post about standing there all quiet like instead and looking polite amongst his “overzealous fans” who went crazy taking pics when he came outside was a bit of a stretch if you know what I mean. She thought he’d notice that and pick her out of a crowd.

Heard of another JD fan who was almost at every film location. Very creepy. Posts a lot about him on Twitter. I was just there to see JD at 2 locations and take some pics. If JD waved it was a bonus. I respected the parameters of whatever the guards told the fans. If they said to move across the street, you move across the street. There would be no way I’d EVER make a run for any celebrity. That’s absurd. These men are just that men…regular people like the rest of us with…but with unique jobs..actors. It’s cool to want to see your favorite actor in person. That experience is surreal when you finally do because you’re seeing these people in photos or in a movie. But approaching them or trying to give something to them is going overboard. If I saw Johnny in a store or restaurant, I’d never approach him. That’s invading his personal space. Would I look his way…yes….lol…but I respect their privacy. Anyway, just commenting on the increased security issues around Ben and Johnny. Don’t hate me. lol
ps…the great thing about being at these sets was the people watching, and that includes watching the younger fans…and meeting some great people. So on the plus side, I think a lot of us made some nice friends. Thank you JD and BD for that.
🙂

Anyone that’s thinking about to coming to Southie don’t bother. They’re making us stay far away and can’t see ANYTHING.

so excited to see Johnny Depp tomorrow-does anyone know when and where they will b filming???
thanks everyone for the updates!!!

Filming on Newbury Street. No clue where. Or who.

Today was a cumberbust but made a bunch more new friends!

Photo on Twitter of Ben yelling into a megaphone mike, “No more busing” on the steps of the school. Guess no one saw or heard it because of the distance, but he was there today.

Tomorrow is supposed to be on Newbury Street. Probably at 1 of the churches.

I’m going to take the train to Copley and walk up from there.

It will probably be early cause I have a dentist apt. at noon at Tufts.

It was fun meeting up with everyone today. All 6 of us 😉

Palm trees are going up on Gilson rd. in Quincy today along with some peach colored stucco facade work on building across the street to shoot the scene where “Whitey” (Johnny Depp) gets arrested at his California home (Big white apartment building). From what we heard they are shooting there next Monday and Tuesday the 7/7 and 7/8. Personally I would like to see Benedict, so if anyone gets any info please post!

Katy- JD will be in Quincy next week! Did you read? I’m so psyched!

Heidi – I’ve heard this is Ben’s last few days here, so I’d definitely try Newbury Street tomorrow.

Now if I could just remember where I heard they were going to be on the 3rd :-/

Oh Katy – we left around 3:00ish. Didn’t realize how late it had gotten.

We were eventually able to go further down by the high school and sit on the curb, but we still really couldn’t see anything, so we mostly exchanged twitter and email info. Then after the lunch break they were doing the last shots of the day which were wide angle so we had to move back down to G Street where we could see even less.

Do you think you can make Monday and Tuesday next week? I mean it’s right in our back yard!

Glad my term (cumberbust) is trending! I had a great time meeting everyone. I also tried to reply to Foxy but dont know where it went. Apologiez if this is a repeat: Please everyone stop the hate posts about “creepy” fans. Nobody has done anything wrong, threatened or harmed then or Johnny in any way. We all would love to see, or meet, our idols. Overexuberance is not a crime and is to be expected. Who among us has not been overexcited or behaved immaturely? This is supposed to be fun. No more Mean Girls. Thanks.

Correction: nobody has threatened or harmed BEN or Johnny. Damn autocorrect.

This church (15 Newbury St) rents out space for performances and such…maybe a lead? It’s near the Boston public garden. Here’s a link to their site:
https://www.emmanuelboston.org/about/directions/
I think I will look there first tomorrow, hoping to get there in the morning around 10. (this is my last chance…hope it’s not a cumberbust!) 🙂

Well, I guess this proves it’s Ben’s last week in Boston. He will be at this event in London on Monday. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jun/30/david-cameron-cool-britannia-harrison-ford-benedict-cumberbatch

Actually, that event is tonight, so it looks like Benedict didn’t make it. He was rumored to appear. https://www.contactmusic.com/article/benedict-cumberbatch-harrison-ford-david-cameron-foreign-office-reception_4266278

So… https://geekishchic.tumblr.com/post/90414620865

So a couple of us stayed until they wrapped filming and we got to meet Ben. He was ever so charming and gracious. He smiled at us, thanked us and accepted my early birthday present… hope he likes it. I was obviously very nervous in front of him and was literally shaking afterwards, but I have never met a more patient and considerate person. It really made my day.. to see his beautiful eyes and long fingers and gorgeous hands. His voice was mesmerizing.. I’m not even sure what I babbled but he smiled at me and that’s all I need! What a wonderful day and it was amazing to meet everyone as well!!

I’ll be at newbury st tomorrow in case anyone is there!  

filming on Putnam St, White St, e. Eagle St on July 3rd 9am – 1am

see ya there!

and July 9th @ FID /Kennedy

😉

I’m going to try and get there around 9:30ish. Someone mentioned the Gardiner museum in passing but that’s not on Newbury at all :/ will have to scope out the street regardless.
If you are coming.. bring plenty of water, sunblock and a fully charged phone 🙂

The july 3rd filming locations – putnam st, white st etc.. which town are they in?

July 3rd is in East Boston.

Someone on Twitter says prop/equipment trucks are at 501 Boylston St, which runs parallel to Newbury St. If anyone is going today, can you post if they are doing interior/exterior work? I have limited time and can’t hang around only to find out they’re inside all day (as happened last Tuesday!) Thanks.

I’m heading in now PJ. Probably going to get off at Copley and walk over. At least we shouldn’t be baking today!

Food trucks serving breakfast for the cast and crew parked in front on the old John Hancock building. Signs for crew and cast in the lobby of the buidling (dorothy chandler center). I think I should go downstairs and get some coffee…..

they are filming at the Church of the Covenant today at 67 newbury street boston – I work a few doors down and saw all of the trucks, porta potties, etc. not sure if there will be any celebs, etc. but they had a sign outside for extras.

I used to work in 222 Berkeley, which is attached to 501 Boylston. May be a good day for a nostalgia visit…

They’re at the church at the intersection if Newbury and East Berkeley

Thanks! How close are you able to be? Any sign of BC? (I think his hotel is right nearby too, ha!)

I’m here at the corner of nwwbury and berkeley. No sign of actors yet.. extras are here. Crew still setting up. Im wearing a grey chambray shirt.

just in:
JULY 9 and/or JULY 14 – Revere Beach !

They are all inside..have’t seen Ben yet. JD’s rv is outside the church.

Hey guys where r u? I am right here on the newbury street, is there any typical building that u guys around? Can’t wait to see u guys

Johny’s RV is here so I’m assuming he is. We just met the son of the man playing his stand in. They’re filming the Bulger brothers mom’s funeral.

Yeah VV there’s good shade but no place to sit. Bring a chair!

Oh I am already here! Anyone still hanging around? I am wearing a navy blue shorts, right in front of the church

Johnny came out and waved. Sweet. If they are filming Bulgers Mum’s funeral BC should get here eventually I would think…

CP,

I am right waiting in front of the church front door and saw no one coming out . Can u tell me where r u waiting? Thank u!

Im at the side entrance by thr van that ben drove in last night

God ! So lucky that I just sea depp! He waved to us and smiled! I am so lucky !!

He was by the side entrance just spike to him.. signed the hobbit.. req no pics since he was in costume.

Ben!!!!!! He actually winked at me!!!!

OMG!!!!! Sounds like everyone is seeing so much there today! Couldn’t make it over but keep posting. Thanks! Joanne, if you could try to get some good pics 🙂

Hey everyone! This is Lauren. I have been at locations with my friend Abby for the past few days. PJ I am SOOOOOOOO jealous that you got to talk to Ben. You’ve lived my dream. I have no way to get there today, and this seems to be the best shoot yet too :/

Hey guys does anyone how long they will be filming today? I can not get there before 3 and I don’t wanna drive an hour just to have it be a bust.

How wonderful! Trying to convince my daughter that it would be interesting to check out a movie set 😉 I literally live 15 mins away.

Hey! So lucky that you got to meet Ben like that, how’d did you manage it? But my real question is, does anyone know where they are filming the rest of this week? And if Ben will be at those shoots? Also, how long is he in town for, do we know?

Caught a glimpse of BC. It didn’t break the spell…

How much more filming in Boston?
I couldn’t make it this week but the rest of July is totally doable.
Great job girls :-)!

Is anyone still on location?

Crew says probably filming until around 7. Stars left for lunch in vans, not sure who will be back…

Hi everyone!
I have been having a blast reading along with all of your adventures, thank you so much for sharing. I live in Quincy and have been thinking of set-visiting with my daughter (she’s 8), we are both fans of JD and BC and after following along here we’ve decided to take the T in tomorrow and check things out. My husband went over on his break (he works at the Apple Store on Boylston) and he was able to see BC and even though he’s not a fan, he was very giddy about it! 😀 We would love to meet up with anyone as it is always more fun doing this type of thing with others. Thanks again for sharing all of your stories, it has been so much fun 🙂

One of the crew said they’ve scrapped the original plans for 7/3 because of bad weather.

They’ll be doing interior shots in a warehouse somewhere instead of the original Putnam/White/e. Eagle street location.

Didnt ser Ben after he left for lunch.. driver said that he had left for the day. They are filming on beacon st.. at cheers maybe? I’ll be there around 9-30. It was awesome to meet everyone today..made some wonderful friends!! Go cumbercollective!!!

Has anyone heard if BC is going to be filming anymore this week?

Just wanted to thank everyone for keeping this site upddated. I was there earlier and got to see JD and more importantly BC as the crew was leaving for lunch. But I also got to meet a few people from this site. You guys are awesome.

They are filming on beacon st tmrw.. and at some undisclosed warehouse on thurs.

I am so bummed I haven’t been able to get to set and meet any of you. You guys were all directly behind our Boston office today. I was JUST walking by that church yesterday. Day too late! Thrilled for everyone that’s been able to meet or catch a glimpse of the stars. If there is ever an unofficial meet up sometime once the film is done here I would love to join in. Joanne and I have kept in touch so maybe Ill meet you guys some day 🙂

They are filming at Cheers.. I believe.. Cindy asked a crew member today 🙂

PJ, Thanks for sharing! Love that you got the “wink”!

As for tomorrow, I work close by and will check out during lunch and after work. Is it confirmed Cheers/Hampshire House on Beacon Street, or is that just a guess? It could also be the state house, too, right? Didn’t someone say they would be shooting at the state house? If that’s the case, Ben will definitely be there. I, too, am wondering how many more days he has since this is his last week.

Today was fun! A bit of Depp; and definitely not a Cumberbust. After PJ’s encounter (which I just missed, having chosen to split from her to take a walk), she went to get another gift for BC and I stood across the street where she’d been, chatting with a nice lady I’d just met. I was furtively glancing from time to time at the church side exit… and… there he was again! My legs started to shake and I gasped, “there he is”…I was a little dumbfounded but my new friend said “cross the street, go talk to him, you’ll regret it if you don’t!”. So I took my shaky legs and crossed. I was at the bottom of the stairs, about 10 feet away from him, and being closer I noticed he was looking at a script with the actor who plays John Connolley. Even though I could have easily gone up the stairs to approach him and say “hi”, I felt like I wanted to respect his work so I didn’t. It all went by in a flash. I was feeling a little bit protective of him…so much so that I almost didn’t take a picture. It was not long before he had folks around him chatting and snapping pics, and even though I felt a little funny doing it, I took a few too . I’ve never been star struck before and still feel a bit odd about the whole thing…he’s just a very talented fellow traveler after all…right? 🙂 I’m happy to say that I’ve met some terrific folks through this site and want to thank you all for the helpful information throughout the adventure. I won’t be back to the set, but feel it has been a lovely experience and encourage you all to go for it; with as much decorum and respect as you can muster. As I drove out of town I went by the area where the bar “Cheers” is on Beacon St. and the parking ban signs were up and the porta-potty’s were already outside. Good luck fellow travelers!

Great story! I guess that answers my question about tomorrow. cheers it is, then. :). I have to work, but I hope to catch BC at lunch or after work. HAs there been a pattern with lunch breaks?

I’m hoping to be there as well.

Thanks for the confirmation Cathy!! And for being my partner in crime yesterday 🙂
PS- no cupcake for Ben so regrettably I had to eat it.. sigh

Just left Cheers — took a walk by before starting work. Caterers and crew set up and having bfast in the Commons. Trucks up and down Beacon and unloading equipment and bringing inside Cheers. No sign of RVs or blue vans. Interestingly, large group of kids getting in scho bus right in front of Cheers while crew trying to roll equipment into the building. Really odd. I’m sure none of the actors are here yet, but just wanted to check things out. So,
What time should I take my lunch?

Hi ,

does anybody know when is Benedict’s last day of filming ?

I’m here now..standing across the street. Don’t see JD’s trailer unless its parked on one of side streets but the vans and crew are here. I can hear the PAs yelling rolling so I’m assuming they are taking inside. No place to sit unless you sit in the garden but there’s lots of shade.

Does anyone know what time they will b filming until??

Hi!
I’ve been following your posts and think that I’ll be heading in today for a little bit after running some errands. I’m a fan of both JD and BC, and would love to see them even at a distance. I was sad to see that BC was in North End across street from me on Saturday night and I missed it. Is there a way I could find some of you to have some company while I’m there?

Nope.. no dice. They are still rolling inside.

I want to know as well. Got called into work……

I think yesterday was a one-of because they all wanted to get somewhere to watch FIFA. They started earlier than normal and left earlier. Usually the actors don’t get to the set til around 11-11:30. Yesterday they were already inside by 10am.

I’ll be at the Cheers set around 1ish? Going to try to stay til the end of filming today. Depp may not be there today. It’s probably Ben’s last day 🙁

Jenne – I’m from Q too! Wollaston actually, so I look forward to meeting you!

Black Mass crew spotted setting up this morning outside of Cheers in Boston. Had catering tent in Boston Common. Looks like they will be there for a while – multiple trucks – Wood Fired grill. and air conditioned bathrooms!

Did everyone around Cheers yell, “Norm!” when you arrived?! ; )

Hancock Tavern would have been awesome! At least we know about Gibson Rd ahead of time, unlike Squantum street when we found out about afterwords!

Thinking of going to Cheers if I have time, but I want to be sure before making the trip up — has anyone seen BC today?

Saw Ben in the window.. seems like they are almost done at Cheers today… anothet 20mins tops. Someone else said they are going back to the church they were at yest.

So, is it not worth the trip? I just saw this now. Should I head back?

Someone on IG posted pics of 70’s cars outside of the Ben Franklin School of Technology, which is farther up on Berkeley?

Someone on IG posted pics of 70-80’s cars outside of the Ben Franklin School of Technology, which is farther up on Berkeley.

Saw Ben leave out the back door.. PA said he was done for the day. Not suee if its true or not

are they shooting at Berkeley today?

They are shooting somewhere further down on Beacon after lunch, but I not sure where or if Ben will be there. I may go check it out after work.

It’s not Ben’s last day! A crew member who knew someone we were with said he doesn’t finish til the 22nd!

Anyone know when Kevin Bacon is suppose to show up?
still have Nothing on him…

One of the PAs told me that he is off next week but will be back onset mid july.
I dont know if it means he’ll stay here or if he’s going back to London and then come back.

Also- no activity at the church from yest. And I dont know where they are filming tmrw or next week.

Welp! Looks like I’m going back again then. Maybe later this time so I’m not waiting for ages. Also I need to get over my driving fear.

Probably have to
Illustrate a lot of backstory; reading the book now & all those “side mentions” of Billy’s career are awfully cinematic

Saw Johnny Depp yesterday filming on Berkley st/ Newbury St. A lady almost ruined it for some people, running across the busy st. Luckily, she is okay! Does anyone know where the next filming location is?

Tomorrow is going to be on a soundstage because of the crap weather expected. Next Monday and Tuesday will be Gibson Road in Quincy, filming Whitey’s arrest in Cali.

We’ve only been getting info from the crew a day or 2 ahead, so nobody knows for sure a week in advance. The thing about Ben Monday was someone thought he was going to some shindig last Monday night in London but he was here.

I hope he stays in town cause there’s so many cool things to do/see, and he doesn’t seem to be taking advantage of them. I mean the freakin Magna Carta’s as the MFA! How cool is that?

And I want him to take a duck boat tour. That’s a blast. And go to the Aquarium. And Salem and P-Town just because they’re cool. Stop hiding in bars watching FIFA!

Hey Christine – I haven’t been getting any email updates for a few days, even though I’m supposed to be “subscribed to this entry”.

Could you check on it?

Wanted to thank everyone who provided location updates here. I had a wonderful 3 days and well treasure my Ben-counters for life.
If I can make one request.. it would be for those who meet him to please respect his personal space. He doesn’t appreciate being crowded at or screamed at. Let’s make his visit as smooth and respectful as possible. Just my 2c.
If you want to follow me.. I am srk_locked on twitter and pj221b on tumblr.
Keep on the Ben lookout!! 🙂

Anyone know where they are
Filming right now? I was told filming would resume after lunch further up Beacon. I’ve walked pretty far up Beacon and see nothing. Anything going on at the church from yesterday?

I already went by Cheers and everything was gone. Are they at the statehouse now? Seriously? I just came from that area!

Nothing at the church from yesterday. Should I try the state house or give up and go home. Cumberbust?

Ashley, where? Nobody down along Beacon, the church for yesterday or Cheers. I didn’t try the state house. Anyone know?

Almost in boston does anyone know where they re now??
And if JD is there

At state house right now.. nothing going on. 🙁

Can we get sherlock on the case 😉

PJ, did you walk all around it and behind the state house? Are you still there?

Walked around the entire State House, nothing going on at all.

Almost at statehouse. You still there?

Nothing at statehouse and I didn’t see anybody. I think I’m giving up. On the plus side, I got my fair share of exercise today.

Not at the state house anymore. Took a full round but didn’t see nothing. Must have wrapped early. Yesterday joel Edgerton was still filming until 7:30 at the church but ben left for the day at lunch.

I’m on my way home now. I suspected he might be done for the day but I was in the city, done with work and thought if give it my best shot. A for effort, right? Tomorrow is some warehouse in an undisclosed location, I guess.

Looking for leads on tomorrow’s locations…please share.

Black Mass crew als0 filming around Ashmont Grill in Dorchester on Thursday.
anyone know anything about this ? or was it for last week?

Bencounters – snicker snicker. I like that as much as Cumberbust.

Ummm I lost the up to date thread.

waiting on the call for my car again… for 7/9&11 for Revere Beach Miami in 1982 !

….in the meantime anyone got any info on Kevin Bacon???
>dancing: “footloose!!<

I already met Johnny Depp In Cambridge @ the 'Triple O' shoot in in May …but I WOULD like to get pics of him WITHOUT his BULGER makeup !

OK so now I’m panicking a little, afraid people are losing their place in the thread 🙂 If anyone else has lost the latest updates just hit comments at the top of the post (under the title) and that will bring you to the last comments (rather than the beginning) if needed…thanks (and hope no one is screwed up too much 🙂

updated my sig since there are 2 of us. Lack on posts today probably due to ilikelihood they will be filming in a warehouse in an undisclosed location, so no viewing opportunities.

Site is working but I don’t think there’s much opportunity to see anything today at the warehouse

i’m not going today.. seems to be a very closed off set. the location is not a public one like the others have been streets/churches/bars etc.

I haven’t gotten any email updates since Monday, though I’m supposedly still subscribed to this thread.

so like us cumberbabes to break the interwebs 😉

I don’t care what anyone says, I’m still a Cumberbitch 😉

So I had a great day yesterday (Wednesday), including seeing Benedict several times at the site of the St. Patrick’s Day pancake breakfast. There were tons of extras there filing in and out and cute kids. I had an awesome day with a really great gal that I met at another filming location, and she agreed it was equally awesome for her. 🙂 Filming wrapped at 9:40 pm. Phew. Bye all. That was the last day I can watch filming. Have fun.

It was great meeting you VV! I hope you got some good photos, and I can’t believe you stayed so late! I couldn’t have done it!

I’m so glad they’re not filming anywhere to see today – I needed a day off (snicker snicker) 🙂

VV and Joanne,

Where were they filing last night until 9:40 p.m.? I tried so hard to find them last night and couldn’t locate them. Grrrrr. I’d just love to know! Was that what was filming at Cheers yesterday (the St. Patrick’s Day breakfast)? I only got there for an hour during lunch and saw Benedict leave in the van.

Bottom of Berkeley and Beacon? I walked up Beacon but didn’t see any trucks or anything giving it away. Rats!

VV, I think I know the PA you mean, he’s great. Wish I could have found it. I was prepared to stay late and everything, but I just couldn’t find it. Did you get to see Benedict?

VV,
Sounds like a fun shoot. Did you happen to find out anymore info about Benedict’s shooting schedule. I think he’s not shooting next week but then shooting more after? I’ve head different things all around, so I don’t know what’s up anymore. I’ve only made it to two shoots so far and I’d like to try another if it’s close enough to me. Thanks!

Just drove by the Quincy location. A few trucks setting up already. Looks like it’s going to be exciting on Monday and Tues!

VV,
I know! I would have liked to have met you, too. I only met two people from this board briefly yesterday when I popped by Cheers on my lunch break. I’ve been on this board, but haven’t met anyone. 🙁 I think we should try to get a bunch of people together from this board to go watch Black Mass in Boston when it opens or something.

Jenne, That sounds like a plan!! I also, have met a few nice people from this board!

I’m happy to organize something — even though it’s a good year off before this film is released, if there is a way to get in touch. I’m trying to be a bit anonymous here with just my initials and I don’t want to post my email publicly.

Maybe even a Cumber Collective gathering to see The Imitation Game when it’s released in November. Movie screening at Lowe’s on Tremont downtown and dinner after to discuss the movie?

I would be happy to start a private Facebook group for us JK!

Just give me a few minutes. I’m creating a new email address and then you can email me and I’ll send you an FB invite for closed groups. Working on it…

Toni, you are totally not alone!!!

Ok. You can email me at cumberbatched@comcast.net. I’ve just created this email which is sure to be completely spammed, but it’s just for the purpose of getting your contact info safely to get us into a private Facebook group.

I’ll create one for future Black Mass meet ups (seeing the film when it comes out). Anyone who is a fan of the move (Cumberbatch, Depp fans, etc.). I don’t want to take anything away from this site and posting locations!

The second one will be for all things Benedict and maybe meet up for The Imitation Game screening.

So, in your email, give me your email address, your Facebook name, and which group you are interested in being part of. Sound good?

Toni,

Set up a Tumblr account if you don’t have one. Lots of our movie set pics are on there

Toni, send me an email at cumberbatched@comcast.net and I’ll add you to the FB group.
I’ve set up the Cumberbatch group and send some invites out. I’m setting up the Black Mass one now. Please be patient with me.
Thanks.

OMG, everyone! Something just occurred to me. They MUST have a Boston premier for this movie! I’m willing to bet Benedict will be there!

Ok, I just got into Boston. I’m on a family vacation and totally not able to spend time hunting out all the filming locations. I know with tomorrow being a holiday, and it’s literally going to rain allll day, there is probably nothing going on filming wise. I just wondered if anyone might know where to catch a glimpse of BC on the 4th? It’s pretty much the only day I am going to be in Boston and I know it’s a long shot. I’m just here with family…. but I am such a HUGE fan. I know it probably wont happen, but if you know anything about any whereabouts for tomorrow (July 4th) please let me know. He should totally go to the aquarium. I’m taking my daughter there tomorrow, LOL.

I am currently trying to convince my mom to take me to catch some glimpses of filming sometime next week, and was wondering can anyone give me some advice on the most likely way to see the most action? when does filming start during the day/when should I go to said location? some help is much needed/appreciated. im a huge johny depp fan and have been following Sherlock for quite sometime…

Hi so excited

Dana, so you might want to know about this (in London), if you don’t. Are you going?

SHERLOCKED preview taking place at #LFCC on Sat 12th July. Steven Moffat, @suevertue and @Markgatiss in attendance

Sorry got the name of the street in Quincy wrong – it’s Gilson Road just outside of Quincy Center. They’re supposed to be filming Monday and Tuesday but the weather on Tuesday is supposed to be crappy.

It’s the scene where Whitey gets arrested in California.

I’ll be there Monday. Have to see what’s going to happen about Tuesday.

Just dropped by to say hello to Christine………I sort of miss it here…lol

Wait, did they film on July 3rd? Not that it mattered, I was with my daughter for her birthday. What’s the tumblr and do I need to email to be part of the Facebook group?

We were told because they were expecting crappy weather on the 3rd they decided to film scenes on a soundstage in a warehouse somewhere, so no one would have been able to see it.

As for tumblr we’re all sort of following each other our pix. Jk posted an email further back for you to send her your FB/email info privately to get in the FB groups (one is a Cumbercollective New England chapter and one is for the film itself).

Say, Linda, the comments seem to be split in two now. I’m not sure if you’re being notified of posts to both, so I’ll ask you the same thing here that I asked you on the other side. You just posted that BOTH BC and JD would be filming on the 9th. One at Revere Beach and one at FID Kennedy Ave., but you didn’t specify. Which location will BC be filming at? I’m trying desperately to get a reasonable photo of BC for my friend in Hungary.

I deeply appreciate any help with this, since I may need to clear up scheduling conflicts and I have limited time I can take off from work.

I’m also concerned about the weather and noticing that FID Kennedy Ave. is full of warehouses. Are they planning an indoor shoot or an ocean side shoot? Any inside knowledge?

I’ve been trying to figure out what they would be shooting on FID Kennedy Avenue, so I plugged in “Bulger” and and “Marine Industrial Park.” It seems to be the murder of Halloran they’re shooting, right outside ANTHONY’S PIR 4 Restarant at 140 Norhtern Avenue. Or that seems logical, anyway. Which would mean Johny would need to film there, since Bulger killed Halloran himself. Here are two URL’s for the story (I’ll drop this on the other thread too):

https://www.boston.com/news/packages/whitey/globe_stories/deadly_alliance.htm

https://www.wcvb.com/news/whitey-bulger-extended-coverage/Edward-Brian-Halloran/15082580#!9AH4A

I’m really unsure what this means to the shooting schedule, it’s just important to me that I choose the right day and the right place to go in Boston on my one day off, trying to snap a photo of Benedict.

is Benedict done filming for the movie?

A crew member said he’s filming through the 22nd (though I have know idea where or when). PJ heard he’s off till the middle of the month, I thought I heard he would still be here filming. That’s all we know so far.

okay thanks for the info. I’ll wait till the middle of the month to see him, if not.. 🙁

Okay, and I’ll share my reason for thinking BC won’t be filming at Revere Beach too (also on the other thread):

Well, I found just about nothing to connect Billy Bulger to Revere Beach, but I found gobs relating Whitey to Revere and Revere Beach. From an on line article: “Richie Castucci (one of Whitey’s victims) owned the Ebb Tide lounge on Revere Beach, where the infamous Teddy Deegan hit and countless other crimes were plotted. It was such a bucket of blood that Castucci, a heavy gambler as well as a nightclub owner, changed the name of the Ebb Tide to the Beach Ball in the late 60’s.”

Apparently, after they killed this guy in a garage in Somerville, they stuffed his body in the trunk of his own car and parked it behind an apartment complex in Revere.

Hmmm. I think if they have Benedict filming in either location (FID Kennedy Ave. or Revere Beach) the locations will be incidental. I also find that huge parking area on FID Kennedy Ave. interesting. Maybe they’ll use it as a staging area for the scene driving up and down Northern Avenue. They’ll certainly have enough room for all their vehicles and crew.

So any definitive answers on if Ben will be filming on the 9th and which location? I was thinking of driving from Maine to go on a Cumberquest . . .

Hi, everyone posting over here still, should be aware that OLV has had an update — not really much new info, but people are now posting comments on both threads, so you should check both before you head out to Boston from any distance. Here’s the URL for the other thread:

https://onlocationvacations.com/2014/07/03/black-mass-filming-updates-from-massachusetts/comment-page-1/#comment-669722

How long is filming expected to last all together for Ben? He is so lucky no one has spilled the details of his hotel Im sure lots of fans would love to send him mail locally instead of across the pond!

Has anyone gone to Gilson Road yet?

There’s nothing much happening at Gilson Road. No Johnny til tomorrow.

Having 2 threads going really sucks. Thanks Christine.

Doesn’t say who is filming. I’m wondering if it is Whitey’s henchmen since Depp will be getting arrested in Quincy.

I just left Gilson st……..Nothing’s happening. Film crew walking around

does anyone have any info on today, like what exactly they’re filming? about to head over to quincy…

hi everyone 🙂
Does anyone know where JD will b filming tomorrow-Revere or Gilson rd Quincy??
Im going to Boston in the am and dont want to get lost going to the wrong location
thank u for the updates

He’ll be at Gilson Road in Quincy tomorrow. I don’t know what they were filming today, because it was mostly the crew just hanging out and playing ping pong ball.

Katy and I will be there in the morning.

Oh, I got an anon on tumblr that said Ben isn’t filming this week. Didn’t say if he was still around though.

Just in :
Partial closure of Revere Beach Tuesday for ‘Black Mass’

https://www.itemlive.com/news/partial-closure-of-revere-beach-tuesday-for-black-mass/article_fc5b4664-060c-11e4-845e-0019bb2963f4.html#.U7r-vwASynA.twitter

I can’t wait to go tomorrow. Glad it worked out on my day off. Thanks everyone for all the info. They had a story about it on WCVB news.

wait, so is BC definitely gonna be on set next week? and also anyone got a pic with him??

So are we certain BC won’t be filming at Fid Kennedy or Revere Beach tomorrow? And any news on when/where he will be filming next week?

Is anyone at gilson rd yet?

I’m here, but no sign of Depp or the RV. Sienna Miller went in about 1/2 an hour ago. They’re filming Catherine Greig’s arrest.

I wonder if JD is at Revere now and will be here later.

At – pure imagination or booskerdu. Not sure which.

And they’re not letting us get anywhere near filming today.

(Posting in both threads.)

Hi guys, I don’t think JD will be at the Miami set on Revere Beach tommorrow, since that seems to be for the murder of Roger Wheeler and I read that Whitey didn’t do that murder hands on. He sent his thugs.

So those looking for JD are more likely to see him on FID Kennedy Ave and up Northern Avenue to Anthony’s Pier 4 Restaurant where Whitey killed Halloran himself. — logically, anyway — but then, they made Quincy into CA, with palm trees and all.

Joanne where r u guys? I’m near the output truck!

I’m down at the other end. I was up there but the sun was too much. Katy and her husband have been with me but. They just left to ma a DDs run.

And Johnny is here they were just hiding his RV around the side of the building.

Joanne do u have a good view? I can see the camper not much else.

As far as I know all day. I got smart today and brought beach chairs with me.

We can’t see the front of the building but at least we’re not baking. Got some pix of random FBI extras wandering around.

Ravon, if you come down the other end I’m the chick chilling in the blue beach chair.

Would love to meet up with you guys, but watching for Johnny to go into his camper. I hope

Today was a washout on sightings (unless you were a pyt and then you got escorted by crew onto the set :-/ ) but Katy and I did find out that they’ve moved the Revere Beach shooting to Thursday. The weather was supposed to be crappy tomorrow so they rescheduled to the soundstage.

Benedict doesn’t start filming again til Monday but the crew doesn’t get next weeks schedule for a few more days so I have no idea where. According to celebitchy he was seen hanging out in town over the weekend with Ed Sheeran.

Revere Beach is being “staged’ now..
Beach Cabanas and palm trees all set up and ready to go for tomorrow…(making the spot real easy to find 😉 )

I guess I’ll put off my Cumberquest until next week. My sister’s moving down to Northampton on Thursday next week, so maybe if I’m lucky, BC will be filming then and it won’t be too much extra to pop into Boston.

Hi everyone,
I just signed up to subscribe (like literally, 30 seconds ago), and am interested enough to take tomorrow off to see Black Mass being shot. Not to mention trying to catch a glimpse of one of my all time favorites, JD. I’ve been following you guys all day.

I used to work in Southie, and watched them film scenes from the Departed, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, The Surrogates, The Women, Bride Wars, The Town…Ok, The Departed was awesome at least and I loved The Town, but I saw lots of cool actors, actresses, & Martin Scorsese.

Anyway, long-winded but I’m not sure where to head tomorrow?

Thanks for the heads up about Revere Beach. So much for taking tomorrow off. I left today at 6. The director came over to talk to some fans. I met some fun people. Hopefully I can make it Thursday after 2:00.

There’s nowhere to see him tomorrow. They rescheduled tomorrow for a soundstage cause there was supposed to be bad weather. They’ll be filming at Revere Beach on Thursday.

How do you subscribe? Just leave a comment? Thanks for all of the great info, ladies!

The nice crew guy I spoke with today said Johnny would be at Revere Beach Thursday. That’s odd.

Just want to thank you ladies for all the updates!

After all these weeks, I FINALLY had planned to go to Revere Beach tomorrow, looks like I’ll go on Thursday now.

Maybe the media is trying to throw ppl off so they said Friday, although he could be there both days. That would be great because with it being on the news, no doubt it will be a zoo!

Did anyone go to Revere Beach today to see if they ended up filming because the weather turned out nice? The palm trees don’t even seem to last two days around here.

Is there any info on where Depp will be next? Revere, FID or someplace else? Hope to meet you guys next filming day

@Ravon I was just at Revere beach, since I live there, all I saw was the set building but no Johnny so far. Now I’m in southie at Fid Kennedy Ave and still no sign of BC. Does anyone have an updates?

Kessei thanks so much for the update! I live on the south shore, so it’s not an easy driveby. I guess I’ll have to spend my day off with the other man in my life. My husband

there is like nothing at Fid Kennedy so far yet. been chilling here an did still don’t see anything. Lol Is JD still in Quincy? since it’s his birthday today. I’m still wondering when will he be in revere but I especially want to know if Ben is filming here at fid. Lol

Oops haha, my bad . though Ben’s is coming up on the 19. 🙂
So did anyone find out anything else? I’m just waiting in the lot near did hopping for something lol

It was supposed to be crappy out today so they switched to a soundstage shoot. They’ll be filming at Revere Beach tomorrow. Johnny’s supposed to be there (per a very nice crew member).

Oh, and if any of you hears when and where BC will be shooting, please share that info on both threads. I plan to come as soon as BC is likely to be shooting again (supposedly not until next week.)

I read it is supposed to be Santa Monica, not Miami and you can park near the subway and carnival in a parking lot on the street parallel to the beach.

Nothing happening at REVERE today…so I decided to multi-task and go for a swim while I was already there… 😉
will stop by later tonight just to see if anything’s up .

Channel 7 News:
Palm trees and orange cabanas dotted the beach to make it look like Santa Monica, California where mob boss Whitey Bulger spent more than a dozen years hiding out.

Johnny Depp, who is playing Whitey, wasn’t on the set but he is expected to be there Friday night. The actor may also be in town on Thursday.

ok… my SIL got called in to work last night, today & tomorrow, for added security…
Seems they are calling around Everywhere for more Security guards for the crowds expected at the Revere Beach shoot today & tomorrow. They are ‘locking down’ the entire Boulavard and Ocean st… so if you are planning to go to Revere Beach, I suggest you get there early if you want to get thru the barriers and get close enough to see anything.
Good Luck !

Thanks for the scoop Linda. Do you think that foot traffic, like walking down to the site from the T will also be blocked? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to take a trip down during lunch.

how are things going in revere? anyone make it in?

The T stop is on the street behind the beach. There is a carnival going on now and yesterday there was a 5$ parking sign up. You should be able to get the the beach on the side away from the filming site and walk along the water. I don’t know how far they will block the beach.

This might help for times and location. https://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dcr/news/2014/2014-7-8tr.pdf

Will they be filming tomorrow at Revere Beach? Thanks for the info on parking and road closures. Had to work today. Not sure if they’re filming late today??

Uh…guys? Christine’s opened a THIRD thread for Black Mass! I’m guessing she has to make a whole new article to officially say anything new.

God, I hope no-one starts commenting over there too! Here’s the link:

https://onlocationvacations.com/2014/07/09/black-mass-filming-in-revere-beach-ma-this-week/

Just a head’s up you guys, Benedict is allegedly still in Boston at the moment as they announced the nominees for the Emmys and Sherlock got a bunch. His official reaction statement included the words “here in Boston”.

https://twitter.com/cvgg_voices/status/487269730248454144 <—supposedly the link

Yeah he’s still here Cami! He was at the Gardner Museum yesterday rocking the nerd glasses. No signs of the dead giveaway white hat (thank God).

I’m happy he’s staying and seeing the sights! Boston and the surrounding areas are great places to explore and there’s so much to do.

I still want him to take a Duck Boat tour. They’re so much fun!

Linda, that is so totally awesome! My work never let’s me go on the right days

Just found this…..
Anthony’s Black Mass shoot will be taking place in Lynn:
Looking for more info on Dates/Times now.

https://www.itemlive.com/news/film-shoot-puts-vacant-lynn-building-back-in-business/article_bc6d989e-0707-11e4-a0bc-0019bb2963f4.html

What’s the schedule for Revere Beach for tomorrow?????? I think I’m going to go for the first time! Will we be able to see anything? When should I get there? Where should I park. 😀

I wanted to go over when BC starts shooting again. Does it still look like next week?

Awesome. I will definitely be there as soon as we have some more info about next week. So exciting! Last time I set hunted was when I was on vacation in Vancouver!

looks like there’s two Nicole’s on here now.

I’m hoping someone can get a schedule for next week for filming, I”m a Deppster tho, lol

Does anyone know if they’re filming today or tonight? I was going to leave after work traffic settles down.

Yeah, I also am wondering when I should show up (which takes some planning as I have a drive).

I live 3 minutes away from Revere beach but I just wanted to know if anyone knew what time they would come to film? Maybe we could all meet up and hang? 🙂

I’m here now 10:35 am. and there is no filming going on, but signs up for no parking tonight. People are still hanging out, so you never know, but all the cabanas are off the beach now, so it looks like they’ll be filming the restaurant scene

Sarah , Ruth , Kassei
Filming is supposed to be after 6pm tonight all night long.
However they took the palm trees etc all down and away.
Possibly another Revere location tonight or just a different setting.

Hi Todd and Anyone who goes tonight, hopefully you’ll get some more nice PA’s who will give you a JD schedule for next week, that would be so great!
thanks in advance.
good luck to all who go tonight, look forward to reading your reports ;))

Elliot Circle to Beach Street is where the road will be closed, so I guess they will be filming near there? Anyone want to meet up around 4pm? Where should I park to avoid getting towed?

Hi Christine – Is there any way OLV could consolidate the comments? It’s getting a little nuts trying to follow the comments and replies for 3 different threads : )) Would appreciate anything you can do!!

Any word yet on what days next week Benedict films and where? Anyone meet any friendly PAs out there willing to share? Thanks.

That’s where my interests are too! Hopefully we will get some good intel!

If someone could find out what time Ben will be shooting next week, that’d be so awesome! 🙂 I can never figure out the right time besides location. It was such a waste when I stuck around Fid Kennedy and nothing was happening on July 9th. Lol i was in southie for awhile before a day later, I heard that Ben was at the museum. Arghh smh lol I keep missing him.

Anybody have any locations for next week? 🙂

You can download the app or subscribe to the posts. It’s weird on here because the comments are out of order.

I’m heading in to Revere Beach now. My husband is with me because he didn’t want me going alone at night. Hopefully it’s worth my while so he stops saying I’m crazy to think I’ll see Johnny

We just got here. Parked on the street with the cantina. About a quarter mile from it. No “no parking” signs in that area and a few empty spots.

They pushed us way back on the sidewalk about a half mile from the bathhouse and the sand across from the cantina.

Ruth, wow that is awful. Keep us updated please.

I heard a person say that Johnny won’t be here until 11pm. It wasn’t someone that works on the movie.

Ruth, What time did you get there? Did they not allow you to go further than that when you just got there?
there may be shooting scenes so thin they find it more dangerous for the people to watch closely.maybe at time goes on you will be able to move closer. Keep us updated please.

Ruth, how long are you staying? I might come down.

Got here around 4:30 and could walk down the sidewalk to either side of the bathhouse. Then they pushed us past all the movie cars! They said they might pan the camera down here and don’t want anyone in the shot.

Now they’re saying Johnny will be here in two hours. Not sure I’ll wait more than an hour. Probably leave around 7.

I’m across from the shipwreck lounge wearing hot pink.

Ok ..cool.Ill comedown for a bit. I should be there around 6:40 p.m.

2 hours ftom 530p? Ruth

Probably around 8!

Ok cool.. just getting off american legion hwy ..

He’s here. He can be seen best from the pavilion side.

Ruth are u still at shipwreck..
The door was locked.. and I didn’t see hot pink..johnny just left. .

Hi guys, can you do a big favor for all your Cumberbitch friends and ask the crew when and where Benedict Cumberbatch will be filming again, then post anything you learn? You’ll get massive karma points for it 🙂 along with our deepest gratitude!

I just left. I was across from Shipwreck. All the businesses were closed. He walked into the building next to the cantina and we left.

I’ve continued to look for a connection between Billy Bulger to Anthony’s Hawthorne Restaurant in Lynn. Unfortunately, all I see is that Billy AND Whitey spent a great deal of time at Anthony’s Pier 4 Restaurant and both restaurants were owned by Anthony Athanas. So it does seem likely that both brothers spent at least some time at the Hawthorne restaurant too, and apparently they can’t film at Pier 4 because it’s far too dilapidated…. hmmm… is it possible that we’re setting up for a scene with BOTH Benedict AND Johnny??? (Confession: I have NOT read BLACK MASS.)

https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2013/07/05/anthony-pier-vestige-city-old-waterfront-close-august/AsdG4mSpkgUGpZxllBXQbN/story.html

So, I ended up going. Found the $5 parking by the T. It was really confusing with the PAs. One said she didn’t know if Johnny was there, another said he wasn’t coming, and then finally I got a good one who said not only that yes, Johnny was coming tonight, but that he was already here (there’d been tons of rumors, some people said he was coming at 9, others 11) and coming out soon. So I scurried over and wasn’t even waiting for 5 minutes when he came out and waved to us all, and I was even in a perfect spot to get a picture. Totally worth the trip and an amazing day! Plus I got to see all the cool old cars parked on the street earlier.

How can I find out where they are shooting today? went to the beach last night, saw the back of Johnny Depp.

Bob they don’t usually film on weekends. Plus, I believe they were filming at the cantina till 4 or 5am this morning. I have some awesome pics of Johnny from last night. Don’t know how to post them on here

Hhmmmmmm….?
I wonder if this will be Johnny’s place to pop up ‘unannounced’….

Aerosmith: Let Rock Rule
Xfinity Center, Mansfield, MA
Wed, Jul 16, 2014, 07:30 PM
Details: Aerosmith, Slash

I just know Johnny’s gonna show up and play with them… I JUST KNOW IT!
Anyone else have this ‘feeling’??

Too bad its been sold out for months now.

Hi guys, I’m going to mention this again, since the comments keep moving up. and I’m praying someone who reads this will be willing to go to Lynn and take a look at a set today to help determine if they will be filming there tomorrow and maybe ask the crew if Benedict will be there. If someone goes, and reports their findings here, you will be everyone’s hero!

This is the evidence of why we should be so excited about this set:

https://www.itemlive.com/news/film-shoot-puts-vacant-lynn-building-back-in-business/article_bc6d989e-0707-11e4-a0bc-0019bb2963f4.html?mode=story

Here’s the address (confirmed by a google maps street view of the restaurant): Anthony’s Hawthorne restaurant — 95 Oxford Street in Lynn (do NOT confuse it with Hawthorne by the Sea; that’s a different restaurant.)

There’s a very good chance both Johnny and Benedict will be filming together there, but it could just be Johnny. The thing is, both Billy and Whitey were tight with Anthony Athanas who owned that restaurant, and we know they both hung out very often at Athanas’ other restaurant, Anthony’s Pier 4 (Billy schmoozing with the city’s elite and powerful and Whitey sitting by himself at the bar) so it would make sense that they also hung out at Anthony’s Hawthorne and the brothers had to have run into each other multiple times in Anthony’s restaurants. WARNING: this is all just surmise.

Apparently, they couldn’t shoot at Anthony’s Pier 4, since it’s just too dilapidated, and they’ve been fixing up Anthony’s Hawthorne. There’s supposedly even a security guard positioned in front of the building to prevent people from interfering. Someone saw them move a bar into the building. (Read the article above.)

It would be great to get a pair of eyes on that building between now and Monday. Please, pretty please… anyone?

Does anyone know how to get cast as an extra?

Does anyone know where will they be filming Tuesday?

Hi everyone, someone on Tumblr says they spotted BC at Logan Airport yesterday — I’d provide a link, but they clearly snapped an unauthorized photo while he was eating, and I think that’s wrong, so I won’t be party to that.

This may mean they’ve already shot the restaurant scene, or it’s only Johnny’s scene, or Benedict is coming back.

I wish he’d do some public appearance we could attend in Boston, instead of forcing us to hunt for filming locations. Maybe he’ll show up for Boston Comic-Con. I think it would be a bit unfair for him to do a public event across the country (San Diego Comic-Con) and not show some love for the city that’s hosted him all this time.

Ruth it would have been nice to meet you. I tried, I went to ShipWrecked, but I did not see hot pink but I might have been right next to you!
I had a fun time & snapped photos too!
Glad you had good time too.
Linda, yes, I got mine a long time ago.
Toni, I asked but no one said anything.
Sarah, that is great, happy for you!

It would have been nice to meet you too Lily. I asked a few people if they were from OLV. I think they thought I was crazy.

Just watched some videos on youtube about the Revere Beach filming; awesome!! They wouldn’t even let us take pics at the Quincy shoot last week Anyone know the filming locations for this week? I’ve been working so I fell out of the loop lol

Is benedict cumberbatch filming anything tomorrow? (July 14th)

Is Cumberbatch done? Does anyone know where they are filming next?

Good Morning Everyone!

Any dates or locations for this week. Please post! 🙂
How long is filming going for? I read it’s only until July 31…can anyone confirm if that’s true?

Hope to see some of you out there soon!

I am hearing they are filming at Lombardo’s in Randolph today after 2pm….

Ooh! I live near there! Going to have to check that out!

Hi guys, I just called Lombardo’s and asked an “innocent” question of the girl who answered. I asked her if they were allowing any onlookers into Lombardos while Johnny Depp was filming. She said No, unfortunately not. So I said, but you must be excited since you might get to meet him. She said, “yeah, we work here, so she we hope so.”

I would call this confirmation. Johnny Depp, tonight at Lomabrdo’s in Randolph.

OH. By the way, I asked her if Benedict would be filming too and she didn’t know…hmmm… no confirmation as to his whereabouts AT ALL!

Hey everyone – Heard that filming today may be in Lombardo’s in Randolph and South Shore Plaza in Braintree. Can anyone confirm?

Awesome Toni! I cant go because I am working but have fun for those of you that go!!
Todd’ yes I believe Toni got a really close confirmation. See above.

So the shoot in Lynn at Anthony’s Hawthorne restaurant is a no go today? Saw that on a news piece online….if anyone has more dates this week, PLEASE post… 🙂

I found an article about the wedding but don’t know how to post a link. Didn’t see Billy Bulger listed at Whiteys table at the wedding.

Anyone have a BLACK POODLE I can borrow for tomorrow? …lol
just got this in:
https://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=5d068e83-c3d9-45ae-9569-4c8a430c3a62&c=bb4db4d0-dcff-11e3-8575-d4ae5284205e&ch=bb5d4530-dcff-11e3-8575-d4ae5284205e

Lol aww, too bad they didn’t ask for schnauzers. I have a black/gray mini schnauzer. 🙂

Thanks Toni https://www.network54.com/Forum/402609/message/1164046326/Kevin+%2522%253BTwo%2522%253B+Weeks

Not sure this worked

Alright, I found a possible use for the South Shore Mall in the filming. Apparently, Flemmi took his stepdaughter, Deborah Hussey, to a mall to go shopping before he delivered her to Bulger to be strangled. They didn’t specify the mall, but 1) South Shore Plaza seems resonable and 2) a mall is a mall.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/whitey-bulger-witness-delivered-stepdaughter-murdered/story?id=19746703

New information on shooting at the Hawthorne in Lynn. At least part of it will be next Monday. (From City of Lynn Tweet): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=797855600255388

Just got confirmation, by a friend who lives in Randolph.

They’re there filming right now!
Lombardo’s , 6 Billings Street,… right off Exit 5 off 93 S.

Does anyone know where they are filming 2moro Tuesday?? If anyone goes to Randolph, pls ask 🙂

Drove down, but way too rainy. Nothing going on outside except for two rows of wardrobe being placed on the truck and some people leaving. They may have been extras or employees of Lombardo’s.

Tonight’s shoot was in Braintree (about 20 miles south of Boston) on the top floor of a parking garage at a large shopping mall, the South Shore Plaza. It was brief, only a few hours.
No one could get near the set because they blocked off the ramps of the garage.

Any idea where filming is tomorrow? Are they still in Randolph?

Hey guys! Sorry I’ve missed a couple days of comments so I’m not sure if you all already have this but I just got a tip that they are filming around Sudbury Rd and Fitchburg Turnpike (117) in Sudbury (border with Concord maybe?) tomorrow (Tuesday, July 15). No exact address but I got an email about it today that seems pretty reliable, if anyone wants to explore…again sorry if this is repeat info.

Also, I know there is some confusion with the thread but there really isn’t any way for me to consolidate comments. Maybe the best thing to do is just to keep adding to the very last comment, I know this has worked in other threads and you can get to the last comment just by going to this post directly url — https://onlocationvacations.com/2014/05/14/more-black-mass-boston-filming-locations-in-may-june-july/ — and of course sign up to get email alerts when new comments are added so you see the latest updates. I would suggest using our forum (where it is way easier to follow the info) but now there is so much here and so many contributors it’s probably better to just keep going here, I appreciate the info and patience, and it is so great to see everyone being so helpful, thanks to all. I’ve had several threads that have had many comments like this one and sadly it seems people always get nasty at some point so it is great seeing everyone helping each other! You guys are the best!
