I See Bucks County (On The Big Screen Again)

According to various reports M. Night Shyamalan is once again returning to my county of residence to shoot his latest movie "Lady In The Water."

Instead of the more upscale and rural area's used in the movie Signs, Shyamalan is headed towards the more working class areas of Lower Bucks County. Some early reports say he has struck a deal with Bristol Township to shoot at the old 3M factory on Green Lane. I am quite familiar with this building, being that I had to walk right past it on my way to Harry S. Truman High School on those unfortunate days that I missed the bus to school.

One interesting story. Sign's which was shot in Newtown, and other locations in Buck's County began shooting on or around the events of 9/11 2001. As you all remember, all our newspapers, everyday, ran articles on the impact and events surrounding that day. These stories had a monopoly on the front page of most newspapers. Except for The Bucks County Courier Times, who covered the story, but also ran a front page "Mel Watch" section talking about the various sightings, and opportunities to possibly see Mel Gibson. Maybe not everyday, but enough for me to notice.

At least there was no Joaquim Watches. Although there were a few stories about the crowds disappointment when they discovered it was Joaquim Phoenix and not Mel Gibson that they were seeing.
