When the locations manager came scouting, he could not find a consistently "dark and dingy" block in Southie anymore. So the film crews will descend on South Boston for just a few days this month and head to East Boston for the bulk of their work.
"They said Eastie looks like Southie," said state Representative Brian P. Wallace, a South Boston Democrat. "I cracked up. Eastie's always been 15 years behind us, so that's no problem."
The SpikeTV pilot, with a working title of "War in '04," is based on the power struggle that ensues after a mob boss flees town under federal indictment. The central character, known as Madso, realizes that he is being set up.
I don't have too many details on this shoot, maybe ya'll can fill in the gaps. I will keep an eye out though for an air date.
