Hollywood Wants to Come to Charlestown Again

Hollywood loves Charlestown. Obviously.

Hollywood would like to show that love, again.

This week, producers of the upcoming film R.I.P.D. (starring Jeff Bridges) will ask members of the Neighborhood Council for permission to film in the area of Pleasant Street Court.

They'd like to shoot from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. from Sept. 11 to Sept. 14.

Attention! If you live anywhere in the vicinity of Pleasant Street Court, you might want to stop by the . They'll be meeting at 7 p.m. at 20 Devens Street at the Mary Colbert Apartments.

Any questions about this process? Call Bill Galvin at 617-242-3862. He heads the council's Basic Services Committee. 

Curious what this film R.I.P.D. is about? Definitely not bank robbers from the Town. The story follows a murdered cop, played by Ryan Reynolds, who is recruited to work in the "Rest in Peace Department" -- this is a police force made up of ghosts. Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, and Stephanie Szostak are also in the cast.

I'm pretty sure this is not a comedy. But it does sound a little amusing.
