Yup, Aaron Eckhart Is at the Market

posted by on March 12 at 14:21 PM

On the set of Traveling, a romantic drama starring Aaron Eckhart (Mormon!) and Jennifer Aniston (Quaker!—I mean, Friends!). Eckhart plays a self-help guru with a dead wife and Aniston is a fan.

Lindy West is on the scene. She spotted Mayor Greg Nickels talking to Eckhart (about the weather) and Nickels talking to director Brandon Camp (about the weather). A rain machine was on hand.

Traveling is mostly being shot in Vancouver, standing in for Seattle, so these authentic bits are for the pig and neon sign, no doubt.

@6: I could give a shit whether or not any major movies or TV shows were filmed or set in Seattle ever again.

You'd think with the dollar tanking so bad that there wouldn't be the same incentive for Vanocouver standing in for Seattle anymore.

I heard Jennifer Aniston was going to be in town later to film scenes for "Rock Star 2 - Stand Up and Shout!"

I hope it contains more scenes of Marky Mark moving to Seattle, cutting his hair, buying an acoustic guitar and sweater and playing coffee house grunge music. Kick ass!

His face is even more square and misshapen in real life than it is on TV!

Good to see our mayor has priorities, like sucking up to movie stars.

@ 11 - BC and/or Vancouver might be more proactive in terms of tax breaks and what-have-you for film productions, not to mention that they've probably got a better infrastructure/talent pool for film productions than Seattle.

And no pesky union rules up there, either!

@15, that's Aniston's double. The real Aniston is not in Seattle. FAIL.

Aaron Eckhart is Harvey Dent / Two-Face in the upcoming film, THE DARK KNIGHT. He's gonna be awesome.

Oh, and by the way, go to the link to hear Harvey Dent's "personal challenge" to the people of Gotham City.

If you see Aaron, tell him Happy Birthday!

Next time you see Danny, he'll be safely behind bars!

Supposedly they scraped some of the gum wall to make their own gum wall and yanked vendors to replace them with actor vendors.

I have to go tend to my boner now.
