It’s snowing in Old Montreal: That’s Hollywood for you
Moscow in winter, period Paris - our city shows its versatility for Brad Pitt shoot

The Montreal Gazette
Monday, May 28, 2007

It seems a little odd that director David Fincher would choose to come to Montreal in late May to shoot scenes of Moscow in winter. But that’s just another quirk of the movie biz, said Bill Doyle, supervising location manager for the big-budget Brad Pitt flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Fincher is having Montreal stand in for both Moscow and Paris.

On the phone from the Benjamin Button set in Old Montreal late last week, Doyle said the shoot is happening here now because the filmmakers weren’t able to interrupt filming in New Orleans this winter, when Montreal was actually covered in snow. They will be manufacturing fake snow for the wintery Russian scenes.

The New Orleans leg of the ambitious production lasted from early November to early March, followed by two months of studio work in Los Angeles. The original F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, which was adapted by Oscar-winning Forrest Gump scribe Eric Roth, is set in Baltimore, but the producers switched the setting to New Orleans because they felt it would be easier - and cheaper - to work in Louisiana. Pitt stars alongside Cate Blanchett, Julia Ormond and Tilda Swinton in this story of a 50-year-old man (Pitt) who begins aging backwards.

Doyle, who has been scouting locations for Benjamin Button for three years, said Montreal was always on the filmmakers’ short list because they felt it would be an ideal place to stand in for snow-covered Moscow, as well as Paris in the 1940s. Filming in Paris and Moscow was ruled out early on because it would have been too expensive.

“New Orleans is a great city, but it’s not Paris,” Doyle said. “It doesn’t look like it. When you think about where you’re going to go (to shoot Europe in North America), it’s either Quebec City or Old Montreal, and Quebec City has its issues, including a lot of it being on hills. Paris is not known to be a very hilly city. So here we are in Old Montreal.”

Old Montreal is perfect for period Paris, but Doyle admitted it’s a bit more of a stretch for Moscow.

“You have to be a little more picky because the architectural style is much more ornate, thanks to the French architects who built Old Montreal, and then even the English, who came in afterward, kept with that same flavour,” Doyle said. “Russia, you have to go a little more banal, which is a little harder to do here.”

Last Wednesday, the filmmakers had done their best to make Vaudreuil **. - a one-block street off **. Paul **. near Place Jacques Cartier - look like Paris in the ’40s, complete with vintage black Parisian-style taxis and period Citroens.

The crew had stretched a huge piece of silk fabric above the street, laying it on aluminum beams connecting the buildings on either side. It was an attempt to reduce reflections and shadows caused by the sunlight.

A few days before the shoot, several condo owners who were unhappy with these beams being placed on their roofs sent a letter of complaint to the production.

Doyle admitted that the film team didn’t successfully get all the information about the structure to the people living in the buildings. When he saw the letter, Doyle called a meeting with the residents on Tuesday evening. He brought along his engineers to show why they felt the pylons were safe and would not damage the roofs. At the meeting, Doyle agreed to extend the insurance policy the producers had taken out on the roof to last a full year. The producers paid the two condo associations for using their property (Doyle would not reveal the amount of the payment).

He said he takes these complaints seriously. “This is definitely very uncommon. As I explained to them, in 22 years of doing this, there is no place that I’ve shot that I can’t go back to and shoot again. So it’s important to me that they come away with a positive experience, and it’s very unfortunate that so far some of them have not.”

The Old Montreal filming - and the entire Benjamin Button shoot - will wrap Wednesday, after more than 130 days of production. The budget is reported to be $150 million U.S.

In some of these photos, particularly the ones where hes wearing the hat, he looks really pale and old. The pics w/out the hat he looks good in.

Gosh he looks much older in these photos. Is it due to the makeup? Becaue if it is makeup to make him look older they did a really good job…but it could just be him getting older. dam I remeber him in legends of the fall…so young and hot.lol.
==============================================
Legends of the Fall was 12 years ago (1995). It is now 2007. Even Brad has to age. But I think he is still hot in an older, matured guy kind of way.

Thanks so much Jared for all the Brad photos! Gosh…I can’t keep up with you. You must be living on Red Bull.

I’m sure the pic aboe was the character he’s playing with aging make-up on, bcos in the previous thread with the camel color coat, he look gorgeous!

I have to ask this again b/c no one answered me in the last thread.

DIDN’T CLOONEY PUT A STICKER ON BRAD’S CAR, SAYING:

“SMALL D-ICK ABOARD”!

I bet Brad can’t wait to get back to his family.

Man With Rare TB Detained, Isolated
He Ignored Orders, Traveled Extensively

By David Brown
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 30, 2007; A03

The federal government last week detained and quarantined an Atlanta man who had spent nearly two weeks traveling in the United States, Canada and Europe with “extensively drug-resistant” tuberculosis, a rare and often fatal form of the infection, officials said yesterday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention imposed an “order of isolation” on Friday after catching up with the man, who had flown into Montreal the day before and then driven to New York City. He was flown in a government plane on Memorial Day to Atlanta, where he is now undergoing treatment.

Although states occasionally use their authority to forcibly detain and treat patients with infections, this was the first time since 1963 the federal government has done so. The last case involved suspected importation of smallpox, a disease eradicated in the 1970s.

The CDC and the two airlines that transported the man twice across the Atlantic are laboriously trying to learn who had close, prolonged contact with him during the trip. Those people will then be contacted by local health departments — potentially dozens of them on two continents.

“We don’t think, from past scientific investigation, that their risk is high. But we want to offer them the chance to be tested,” CDC Director Julie L. Gerberding said yesterday afternoon in a news briefing.

Although many details of the patient’s recent activities were unknown or were not being disclosed yesterday, officials said the man had recently been diagnosed with TB and knew he should not travel when he left the United States on May 12.

After testing revealed his tuberculosis was extensively drug-resistant, he was contacted in Europe by health authorities and told not to take a commercial flight home — advice he ignored.

He flew from Atlanta to Paris on May 12 on Air France Flight 385, arriving the next day. He flew back from Europe on May 24 aboard Czech Airlines Flight 0104, which departed from Prague. That flight arrived the same day in Montreal. He left Montreal in a rented car and drove to the United States, entering at Champlain, N.Y. The man’s wife was with him in New York and accompanied him in the CDC plane to Atlanta. Where she met him — or whether she traveled to Europe with him — was unclear yesterday.

Officials did not say how many other countries he visited in Europe.

Only OK! was invited to join Brad Pitt, George Clooney and the rest of the cast of Ocean’s 13 on the RM Elegant, one of the world’s most expensive yachts, to promote Not On Our Watch, a group which raises awareness of the horror occurring daily in Darfur. “We’re trying to get what’s happening to stay on the radar,” George told OK!. Brad pointed out that while the problem seems far away, “It’s our problem too. If this was happening in the U.S. it would be a different matter….”

——————-
Brad was being his usual modest self. There’s a picture on the net somewhere, which is evidence that he’s otherwise “pleasantly sized”.

WHY do you think #26′ Angie always has a secret smirk on her face?

She says a lot about Brad, but this stood out: “He ’s much more of a man, than any man I’ve ever met.”
