As cast and crew of ‘The Irishman‘ work through the production cycle, all sorts of audiences are grabbing a hold of this compelling story and creating coverage from many points of view.
Cast taking a break or acting? Looks like a good Bar-B-Q either way
Some are excited that films are coming to stimulate the Michigan economy, others are ticked off that Ohio didn’t offer tax breaks to the production and missed out. Many come with an interest in the mob and mafia in general while others were “there” during the bomb wars in Cleveland and one man was mentored by Christopher Walken’s character Shondor Birns and expresses his point of view on the scruples of the real-life characters. Then there are the Vincent D’Onofrio fans – legions of rabid enthusiasts with an apparently insatiable appetite for VD’O pics and videos.
To help you explore all the facets of this particular Irishman’s story, here’s a clearinghouse to browse through and enjoy. But first, we’ve were scooped! Some wily filmmakers in Detroit stealthed onto set to capture an explosion and got the eye of MLive.com’s Jessica Nunez who wrote ‘Behind the scenes on ‘The Irishman’s’ Detroit set‘, on July 01, 2009:
MovieSet.com, an online social movie network that often gets exclusive rights to behind-the-scenes footage of major motion pictures, just posted production videos of “The Irishman,” which is filmed in Detroit and stars Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer.
According to PR Newswire, MovieSet’s videos are the “first-ever behind-the-scenes footage” of the film.
That’s not exactly true. Remember this pyrotechnic car explosion near Eastern Market that local production company Slickfire caught on film?
Big ups to Slickfire.com (@slickfire on Twitter) for staking out the set and catching some great guerrilla style coverage. Be sure to watch til the end when the firemen come out to douse the smoldering embers. Will be extra cool to see that shot in the movie after seeing how it was put together.
Ms. Nunuez provides some insight to the man who tells us about the explosion:
“Regardless, the MovieSet videos are based on interviews with some of the crew members, including lead makeup artist Kimberly Jones and transportation coordinator John White, who’s sporting a Detroit GM shirt and whose accent says he’s probably a southeast Michigan native.”
