They are filming the Miles Davis movie in downtown Cincinnati, with Don Cheadle playing Miles. They had a short blurb in the local paper about needed some period correct cars for the movie (based in the 70's), and I sent in a picture offering mine.
They just sent an email asking if I can bring it down for shooting on Wednesday. Trying to work it out now... but hope to be able to do it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

So I was down there all day, from noon till 10pm. On several different locations. There were about 6 of us with different cars down there, some had been there on multiple days.
My car should be in the pawn shop scene if it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor. Miles car was a Green Jaguar and was the only car moving during filming... Honestly I have to say I wouldn't do it again, too much standing around doing nothing... a lot of the crew loved the car, and wanted it more scenes, but some of the scenes were 'ghetto' scenes with old caddy's and a Plymouth Fury III. Good meal at the Christian Moerlien Brewery around 7pm...$50 dollar bump for the car, and $8/hr is the going rate. Don Cheadle and Ewen McGregor were the main guys in the movie. Pretty interesting watching the process of setting up the shots, and the retakes. I got lucky, in that we were let go at 10pm, the last few days of shooting the cars were there from 8pm to 8am, or 2pm to 2am, so I'm glad I didn't have hang around like that. Movie is set in NY, 1979, I had fake NY plates on my car, forgot them and drove home with them on.... they want them back.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
