Well, Father Geek has found a couple of set reports on THE SUM OF ALL FEARS waiting in my mail box here at Geek Headquarters, so here they are for you to check out...
Hi,
Long time reader, first time poster. I had the pleasure of being an extra on the set of Paramounts latest Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan extravaganza "The Sum of All Fears", currently filming in Montreal, in particular, the Olympic Stadium where they are filming a scene set at the Superbowl. I was lucky to be seated right by the field, and when not rubbing elbows with the film crew or making small talk with the cheerleaders (the scene took place at the 2003 Superbowl in Baltimore), was able to take part in the action.
There seemed to be the filming of two major scenes happening, one in which Morgan Freeman, playing the head of the secret service, rushes the president (James Cromwell) out of the game due to an unforseen threat (supposedly that of a nuclear bomb), and another scene taking place in the crowd, where Freeman receives a phone call on his cell notifying him of the threat.
After filming I had the priviledge of briefly speaking to both Mr. Freeman, and Mr.Cromwell, and they both appeared to be rather friendly, down to earth guys. Anyway Harry, if you decide to post this, just call me.....
