Today, we learned that Wichita, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, will begin filming in Boston, MA on September 15th!
According to reports, Diaz plays a woman stuck in a listless life before going on a blind date with Cruise. He’s a spy, and they get caught up in a web of international intrigue, thus breaking the monotony of her day-to-day life.
Loaded Gun Boston recently Tweeted that Cameron is renting a luxury condo at 91 Beacon Street while filming the flick. LGB also reports that “crews are currently hashing out an elaborate water-based chase scene slotted to be shot on the Charles River and will involve closing down several landmarks along the way including a bridge or two.”
Right now, Cruise is in Melbourne, Australia while Katie finishes filming Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. But the two should be in Boston soon so Tom can begin production on Wichita.
Update: I just got word from Sam at LGB that Cameron is not renting the condo on Beacon St but filming will indeed begin on 9.15!

I was kayaking on the Charles River yesterday, minding my own business when I looked up and thought I saw Tom Cruise. He was in a single-person kayak, wearing a t-shirt, sunglasses, and a headset. I was so shocked I just stared at him with my mouth open and he laughed and said, “Hello” and I said, “Hello” and off he went. He was talking w/ 3 guys also in kayaks who seemed to know him, and then headed off toward one of the bridges. I asked the guys if that was Tom Cruise, and they just smiled. When I asked again they said, “Oh he gets that all the time” but when I returned to the boathouse I found out he indeed is in Boston filming a new movie called “Witchita” what a thrill to see him in person!!!!! Made my day (maybe my week!!!)
How lucky to meet Nancy Merrifield in a cayak or anywhere else. She does not tell us how she was dressed. But she may have been dreaming of Toledo, and not the one in Ohio.
I have been following settings on this Cruise movie, and you may or may not be the Nancy I taught in Lowell years ago.
Yes, I did go to ULowell…do tell me ! what class was I in?? I’m very curious.
