Right location, wrong Adam Sandler flick fingered

Unfortunately, the Adam Sandler flick "Lake House," now called "Grown Ups," will not be filming at O Ya. The upscale Japanese-fusion restaurant located at 9 East Street in the Leather District was singled out by location scouts, but for the follow up to "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" that's slotted to begin filming after the "Lake House" shoot.

O Ya, a favorite hangout among Hollywood celebs like Kate Hudson who frequented the posh hotspot while filming "Bride Wars" and "My Best Friend's Girl," may get its big-screen debut, but not in "Lake House."

"We are only filming about two days in Boston," an industry insider spills to Loaded Gun Boston about the made-in-Mass. film "Lake House." "The rest of the schedule will be at locations outside the city."

As previously reported in Loaded Gun, crews plan to film at the Pilgrim Church and the Old Burial Ground in Southborough beginning on Monday, May 18 until Friday, May 22 with a return visit on Tuesday, May 26.

Sandler's former “SNL” cohorts as well as “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” funnyman Kevin James are slotted for a 66-day film shoot beginning in May centering around a group of five guys who return to their hometown after 30-years apart for a Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Scenes slotted to be shot at the historical Pilgrim Church include a funeral for the gang's beloved high school basketball coach.

Also, nearby Essex entered into an agreement on Monday, March 16 to host Sandler and crew at the town’s Centennial Grove this summer.
