Not every day you get to come into work to find a movie being shot across the street, especially in Phoenix.
I came into the client site this morning to find a live crew shooting a scene from the new file “Middle Men” staring Luke Wilson, Robert Forrester and James Caan among others: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1251757/
This picture is from the parking garage directly behind the movie set. They had Monroe street blocked off from Central and backwards, so I was able to squeeze in a few shots from my phone, this being among the better ones. The scene below is in the alley next to a favorite downtown watering hole called Seamus McCaffrey's. On the left, near the edge is Luke Wilson who approaches Robert Forrester who has the trunk of a Cadillac open and is holding a bat. After a few seconds of discussion, Luke Wilson appears to capitulate and then runs off towards stage left.
Apparently, the film is about the beginning of a certain lucrative business that has some roots in Phoenix- go figure.
For those interested in viewing a sequential frame-by-frame sequence of the scene, you can save the following shots to your local machine and use a slide viewer feature to see the action (row 1, left to right, followed by row 2).
