I spent a few hours this weekend chasing a Hollywood star! A few scenes of the upcoming movie “Salt” are being shot in a city not far from my home and so I went to the set to try to get a look at the film’s star – Angelina Jolie. And even though there was a lot of security I did get close enough to see her and shoot some video of her in action.
The main scene they shot was of Jolie’s character riding on top of an oil tanker, jumping off and landing on other vehicles. They chose this city because there about 5 ramps that weave around each other, above and below. It was really exciting and interesting to watch the crew pull off filming this amazing chase scene in a busy city.
I didn’t get to meet her, but I’m surprised how close I got. And it was cool watching the process of movie-making up close.
“Salt” is scheduled to be released July 23, 2010. Even if it’s rated R I’ll have to go just to see how the chase scene came out.
