Southie bar makes big-screen comeback in 'Heist'

First, "Gone Baby Gone" now "The Maiden Heist."

Murphy's Law, the colorful black-and-red neighborhood pub in South Boston at 837 Summer St. known for its quirky collection of bar decor including old superhero characters and barbie dolls, makes its big-screen comeback in "The Maiden Heist."

The Southie watering hole first served as a film location for the Ben Affleck-directed "Gone Baby Gone" in 2007 when Casey Alleck's character Patrick and gal pal Angie (Michelle Monaghan) strike a deal with Lionel McCready (Titus Welliver) to investigate the kidnapping of a little girl.

Once again, the Southie locale will make a movie cameo in "The Maiden Heist," formerly known as "The Lonely Maiden." The made-in-Boston flick, and starring Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken and William H. Macy, is a comedy of errors following three museum security guards and their attempt to steal artwork after it's been transferred to another museum.

"The Maiden Heist" is slotted to make its world premiere at the American Film Market in Santa Monica on Wednesday, Nov. 5 with a repeat screening Sunday, Nov. 9.
