Even more news is coming in from the
set, this one from 'Sherri',
"The filming has begun
on "Deeds" here in New Milford, CT. Yesterday the
street was lined with Corvettes for one scene. They are supposed
to have a
snow scene this week at some point, weather permitting. Adam
Sandler is signing autographs for the kids and letting them
take pictures. He seems to be very nice and stops to wave
to the people watching on the sidelines. The
Bistro restaurant has been converted into Deed's Pizza along
with a change of scenery for the movie theater. Now "showing"
until the end of filming will be Lawrence of Arabia and Close
Encounters of the Third Kind. The jewelry store was made into
a pharmacy and the travel agency was converted to a jewelry
store. Other new additions to the town are a big & tall
men's shop and a new name for our local newspaper. The studio
has lined the street with trees and flowers that many of the
people in town are hoping they will leave behind." (Thanks
to Sherri).

(2nd update)
News on the film shooting over in New
Milford, CT is coming in thick and fast with two new scoopers
sending me info on the production.
"I live in New Milford, CT where they are filming some
of the movie. They
are filming right now in the center of New Milford at a pizza
parlor called
"The Bistro". They made a different sign for the
movie calling it "Deed's
Pizza". They will also be filming down the road from
me at the private
airport on Candlewood Mtn. RD for a couple of days. They had
about 20 brand new Corvettes parked along the street in the
center of town where the pizza parlor was located because
in the movie when Deeds gets rich, he buys everyone a Corvette."
(Thanks to Dan).
And
more news regarding those red Corvettes,
"My father, along with 30 other red and magnetic red
corvette C5 drivers went to CT today to film Mr. Deeds. Apparently
the story is supposed to be about a guy who falls in love
with a corvette driving woman, then when he comes into money
he buys everyone in the town a new corvette!"(Thanks
to Mary)
1/6/01 I received this yesterday
from one of our scoopers; 'I have a **tiny** bit of information
on one of the locations in which the film is being shot. I
live in New Milford, CT where they are filming some part of
the film. The crew has done a major cosmetic overhaul of a
section of our (small) downtown shopping district. This includes
changing the storefronts of quite a few shops (some very amusing),
installing a fake park (w/large monument) as well as converting
a fancy Bistro resturaunt into a Pizza Parlor.'
'Shooting in town began today (30th May), and I'm told
will go on for about a week. Businesses on the street are
open, though it is blocked off for about 15 - 20 min. at a
time durring actual shooting. I'll be putting up a page with
a couple shots of the location sometime in the next day or
so. I may even get a couple of filming at some point, if I
find myself with time to hang around town.' (thanks to
Rob Hyman).

Heat Magazine
Some very
cool shots from the set have appeared in UK magazine Heat
this week. Check out the two above of Winona Ryder, appearing
in the movie as Babe, the films love interest. This is probably
the scene in which Babe (Winona's character) falls into some
ice only to be rescued by Sandler. In that second shot it
looks as if she's reading from a script. Look out for another
pic in the next couple of days.
