Here's another news article that I picked up from The News Enterprise about the filming of Elizabethtown in Public Square, Elizabethtown'. Now that we are all familiar with the film we can easily work out what scene was being shot on this day 22 July 2004...

| After Bloom signed autographs, he and the crew resumed filming. Most of the shots were of the lead characters driving through downtown and of extras along Dixie Avenue. The scenes appeared to create a quaint feel of small-town America. Flags flew from light poles on the street; kids walked down the sidewalk carrying baseball gear; and a boy wearing aviator-type goggles rode around the H.B. Fife Courthouse on his bicycle. Paramount workers were tight-lipped on details about the filming. However, a woman who said she is a liaison for the company but asked not to be named, explained what the scenes meant. Crews wanted to show Bloom's character returning home from Los Angeles to make funeral arrangements for his father, she said. |

| Later, Bloom meets co-star Kirsten Dunst as both are driving in front of the courthouse. They talk for a moment, she smirks and leaves, and a confused Bloom pauses for a moment before taking off himself. |
And this one...

| Filming began at 10:30 a.m. Dunst's double drove a blue Toyota around Public Square, and was followed by a red Chevy truck, with a camera mounted on the front bumper. In a gray Mercury, Bloom was filmed next, being towed by the same truck. Crowe sat in the back of the truck facing the car during the filming. Many people who had the opportunity to meet him throughout the day said he was very approachable. |
I'm quite enjoying piecing together these reports with the film scenes! :lol:

Thanks Katt and Nenya. You're welcome. :)
This is another article worth reading about the same Elizabethtown filming, again from The News Enterprise, but published a day later.

| Celebrities are venerated in our society, for better or for worse. The camera shines more brightly on them whenever they appear. Their status has changed from the second-class citizens they were treated as just a century or so ago to where they often can't eat at a restaurant for fear of paparazzi. All that is enough to go to the head of less strong-willed movie types, but it did not seem to be the case last week. Bloom and Crowe signed autographs liberally. At one point Bloom even rubbed a young lady's hat on his face, signed it, and gave it back. Ultimately, though, the movie people were just doing a job — a more high-profile job, but a job nonetheless, just like the media, the businesses downtown and the workers in the courthouse. It is easy to forget sometimes that actors are regular people. (Full article HERE) |
