'The Social Network' trailer goes to faux Harvard

Revenge of the nerds hitting Harvard? Well, sort of.

Folks can see the supposed behind-the-scenes antics of the Cambridge ivy league school in the recently unveiled theatrical trailer for "The Social Network."

Word is that writer Aaron Sorkin, who penned the script for the locally shot flick "The Social Network," toured Harvard's elite final clubs, like the Porcellian and the Phoenix, for background research and inspiration for the screenplay.

Apparently, Sorkin checked out the Porc's elaborate mirror system which lets members see out while passersby can't see into the house. He also looked into the so-called "f--- truck" which carts in ladies from a nearby all-girls college.

While Sorkin had access to Harvard, filmmakers weren't allowed to shoot at the prestigious university.

Partially shot in Boston and starring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Rashida Jones and Andrew Garfield, "The Social Network" is about the founding of the multibillion-dollar site Facebook in a Harvard dorm. The story is based on Ben Mezrich's latest tell-all book, "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook. A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal."

Timberlake plays Sean Parker, the Napster innovator who became the founding president of Facebook while Eisenberg stars as founder Mark Zuckerberg. Andrew Garfield stars as Eduardo Saverin, a former founder who had a fall out with the social networking wunderkind.

"I just wanted to say that Harvard wouldn't allow us to film here," Timberlake jokes we he received his Man of the Year award from Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The musician turned actor is alluding to the fact that crews with "The Social Network" had to shoot the script's Harvard scenes at Wheelock College and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland. "My manager dared me to say that.”

"The Social Network" is slotted to premiere at the New York Film Festival on Sept. 24 and is scheduled for theatrical release on Friday, Oct. 15.

There's a travel-inspiration guide and a movie locations map for "The Social Network" in Loaded Gun Boston's star maps guide for made-in-Boston movie buffs.

Ben Affleck's 'The Town' trailer showcases Boston

When insiders with Ben Affleck’s made-in-Boston blue collar heist flick warned us that there would be a lot of “gun fire” and to expect “a few cars exploding” during the making of "The Town," they weren’t kidding.

Crews with "The Town" went to town last fall, filming some major shoot ‘em action in the North End, Charlestown, Cambridge and a huge climax sequence at Fenway Park. Yep, there was a barrage of fake bullets flying all over Boston.

The movie's trailer has been unveiled online and, well, it looks like a winner. Slotted to hit theaters on Friday, Sept. 10, "The Town" promises to showcase Boston in all of its gun-slinging glory.

"There are over 300 bank robberies in Boston every year. Most of these professionals live in a one-square mile neighborhood called Charlestown," the trailer's voice-over guy claims.

Affleck, playing Boston's most wanted bank robber, is both directing and starring in the film following a bizarre love triangle involving a crook, a bankteller and a FBI agent. The movie is an adaptation of the blue-collar heist novel "Prince of Thieves" by Chuck Hogan.

"The Town" also stars Jon Hamm, known as Don Draper from "Mad Men," as a FBI agent who becomes smitten with a female bank employee, played by "Frost/Nixon" and "Vicky Cristina" Barcelona actress Rebecca Hall.

Blake Lively, known as Serena van der Woodsen from "Gossip Girl," is co-starring as Affleck's troubled ex-girlfriend Krista. Jeremy Renner, who won over critics with his role in the Oscar-winning "The Hurt Locker," stars as Lively's brother and Affleck's partner in crime.

Many of the movie locations from "The Town" are featured in Loaded Gun Boston's new star maps guide for made-in-Boston movie buffs.

Anna Faris photos from 'What's Your Number?' set

Anna Faris, on set of the romantic comedy "What's Your Number?" at the 1.7-acre park at Post Office Square in Boston's Financial District, filmed a wedding reception scene with a certain male co-star over the weekend.

Yep, she's making out with Sudbury native Chris Evans.

Set designers worked with the already stunning green space that sits atop an underground parking garage and has been named one of the best squares and plazas in the world by PPS (project for public spaces). The trees in the square were covered with white, paper lanterns and the scene included a live band and Faris wearing a stunning pink bridesmaid gown.

There were two overnight shoots slotted, one beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, July 9 until 6 a.m. Saturday, July 10 and the second beginning 3 p.m. Saturday, July 10 until 6 a.m. Sunday, July 11. Production was affected on Saturday because of the torrential rain and crews filmed on Sunday night to capture the entire scene.

The made-in-Boston film features three wedding scenes, ranging from a blue-collar bash to a big-fat Italian wedding to a young/corporate soiree, scheduled for the film and Faris' onscreen sister, and homegrown talent, Ari Graynor is apparently the bride to be.

Meanwhile, Faris and a crew of extras caused a minor delay on the MBTA's Red Line T on Sunday, according to a blog post here. Turns out that the doors closed on "The House Bunny" star while filming and she ended up taking an impromptu ride to Porter Square.

'What's Your Number?' movie seeks body doubles

Think you have a hot enough body to double as Anna Faris?

Scouts are on the hunt for three stand-ins between 22 and 38 for the made-in-Boston romantic comedy "What's Your Number?" that follows Faris' character Delilah as she looks back at the past 20 men she's dated in her life and wonders if one of them might be Mr. Right.

The caveat? The body doubles, one female and two guys, will be used in shots involving brief nudity.

Yep, you've got to drop trou at some point to get the job.

Based on the casting stats here, it sounds like the scenes involve Faris and Chris Evans. The blonde guy could be recent cast addition Ryan Phillippe, although he's 5'9''. However, it turns out that Joel McHale, known for his work in "The Soup" and NBC's "Community," fits the 6'4" description.

Here's the stand-in lowdown:

*Brown Haired Male--6'0'', 185lbs (very fit), 34" waist

*Dark Blonde Haired Male--6'4'', 170lbs (very slim), 31" waist

Filmmaker John Waters rolls in with 'Role Models'

American filmmaker turned author John Waters is teaming up with Boston-based writer Scott Heim to chat about his latest tour-de-trash offering, "Role Models," at the Boston Public Library's Rabb Lecture Hall at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 10.

Best known for his cult films including "Hairspray," "Pink Flamingos," "Female Trouble" and "Cry-Baby," Waters' book is a self-portrait told through intimate profiles of favorite personalities—some famous, some unknown, some criminal, some surprisingly middle-of-the-road.

From Esther Martin, owner of the scariest bar in Baltimore, to the American playwright Tennessee Williams; from the atheist leader Madalyn Murray O’Hair to the martyr Saint Catherine of Siena; from the English novelist Denton Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis—these are the over-the-top figures who helped the author form his own brand of neurotic happiness.

Waters, recently featured on NPR's "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross, says he decided to write about people he admires ... flaws and all.

"That's why people tell me everything," he says here. "On airplanes, strangers confide in me the most deepest, darkest secrets. And I think they think I'll understand. And I generally do understand."

Waters, who is hitting the road in a series of conversations across the US, is chatting with Heim, a Jamaica Plain-based writer known for his novels "Mysterious Skin," "In Awe" and "We Disappear."

Other actors attached to the "What's Your Number?" project include Andy Samberg from "Saturday Night Live" and Zachary Quinto who stars as Spock in the 2009 "Star Trek" remake and, of course, is "Sylar" from "Heroes."

'What's Your Number?' at the Boston Public Library

After filming a scene at the Orange Line's State Street T stop on Friday, May 21, crews with Anna Faris' romantic comedy "What's Your Number?' set up shop at the Boston Public Library, transforming the Italianate courtyard space into a romantic dining hot spot.

Production began early afternoon at the BPL and is slotted to continue into the wee hours of Saturday, May 22. For the record, the BPL's upscale Courtyard restaurant is normally opened for lunch Monday-Friday from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and for tea Wednesday-Friday from 2-4 p.m.

For the State Street sequence in the Financial District, Faris is dressed in red and is seen chomping on a hot dog. From street vending to fine dining? Yep, it seems that Faris' character Delilah has an open mind when it comes to food.

As previously reported in Loaded Gun Boston, the Boston Public Library has been a hotbed of made-in-Boston film action including an elaborate chase sequence for Cameron Diaz's flick called "The Box" as well as a location in Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's upcoming spy flick "Knight and Day."

In addition to "Knight and Day" and "The Box," the BPL has been a favorite location for filmmakers. In early October 2009, Copley Square was transformed into a Hollywood-esque movie lot with the cast of the Adam Sandler-produced "Zookeeper," including Kevin James, Rosario Dawson and Leslie Bibb, filming scenes at the upscale Fairmont Copley Plaza. For the scene, designers lit up the Boston Public Library with dramatic lighting.

Also, back in September 2007, the Boston Public Library was the scene of the crime in "The Pink Panther 2" starring Steve Martin as Inspector Jacques Clouseau. While filming at the BPL, there were reports that a priceless marble bust was knocked on the floor of the Grand Staircase. Fortunately, the damage wasn't caused by the movie crews.

"What's Your Number?' follows Faris' character Delilah who looks back at the past 20 men she's dated in her life and wonders if one of them might be Mr. Right.

Other actors attached to the "What's Your Number?" project include Dave Annable from "Brothers & Sisters," Sudbury native Chris Evans, Joel McHale from "Community" and "The Soup" and Zachary Quinto who stars as Spock in the 2009 "Star Trek."

Crews will move production to the North End on Monday, May 24. However, primary filming is slotted for Wednesday, May 26 to Thursday, May 27 on Salem, Cooper, Prince, Margin, Parmenter, Cross and Bartlet streets between 10 a.m. and 2 a.m.
