Ya know... I love reports like this. A snapshot of a film set that we don't really know anything about. But, for the 'spy', this was an exciting brush with the fabulous world of filmdom. We don't get a terrible amount of knowledge about the movie... but it is a sip. A bit like smelling the cork of a freshly opened bottle of wine. We get a whiff, but we still don't know what it tastes like. So.... Let it be known that a movie called A TRAVESTY exists, that William H Macy appears in a cab whilst it drives in the rain. Heh heh heh... Are they going to a hospital? A symphony? A restaurant? An enticing mystery eh?
I went to see Rushmore at a tiny little theatre on the corner of Yonge and Carlton in downtown Toronto last Friday night. On my way out of the film, around 11:30 pm, I saw a yellow NYC taxi sitting on a trailer with a film crew surrounding it. There were about 30-40 spectators standing around, and one of them told me that the film being shot was called "A Travesty," and that William H. Macy was in the back of the cab. I stuck around for about twenty minutes as they filmed inside the car with simulated rain effects being provided by a guy with a hose. When they were done the trailer pulled the cab away, and I caught a brief glimpse of Macy in the back seat with an attractive female. Unfortunately, no one seemed to know who she was, and no one could tell me anything else about the film.
The Supreme Cow.
