An AICN reader called Wil2631 chanced across the filming of the ARTHUR remake (starring Russell Brand in Dudley Moore's role and Helen Mirren in (more or less) John Gielgud's part). He took the time to send in some pics, which we always appreciate, characterizing them thusly...
Late last night I happened to stumble accross them shooting a scene for the Arthur remake in grand central terminal, so I snapped some pics for you guys.
From what I could gather, the scene is supposed to be a private date in grand central. No Russel Brand, but I did get a guy playing their butler, he's supposed to be bringing them them Pez on a serving tray. I was able to hang around long enough to get a shot of what's inside the serving tray, and it was two custom pez dispensers with Russell's and his dates heads on them. I'm assuming the blond woman is Jennifer Garner. There were also people jumping on trampolines. Other than that it was just a lot of sitting around while the gaffers got these huge floating light fixtures into place. The people on the trampolines performed for the crowd while the people in the directors chairs sat around doing nothing. Enjoy!
Here are a few of the images Wil2631 sent along...
