2 doors down from my office (a corner lot) is an old building that has not been in use for a few years and will likely be turned into a virtual golf simulation place later this summer but Friday, it will be a used car lot set for filming of Wolverine 3. I was approached yesterday by a Fox rep and asked if they could use my back driveway (gated) to house their car sized generator for 24 hours and a payment of $300.
Of course I said yes though the check will be made to the company and and not me but I felt that was very generous. I likely could have said that I felt it was worth more but I thought they'd offer me $100 so I'm happy with it though that $300 would have gone to some nice brewery upgrades!
Plus, they are making that old, tired looking building look nice.

Pretty cool!! Could we see the Beerlord's storefront on the big screen????

They did ask me a few weeks back that if they see if in the shot, could they digitally remove certain things or put up another sign (for payment of course) and I said, "sure" but so far, that's not happened. And, my storefront isn't much to look at anyway.
If the streets get blocked Friday, I may have to close early. But Friday afternoons are dead anyway so beer-thirty may start early Friday.

Sit out in front with a beer and watch Hollywood in action!

Win-win!

Big miss I think.

"Sure, I'll take $300 plus a photo with Hugh Jackman".

I'd rather have a shot with Patrick Stewart..............his nails aren't as big!

You can be a new X-man, with the mutant ability to make beer from ordinary water and stuff.

Ooooh, what a great idea. I see a new beer name in the future.

My UPS driver just told me a company near us is getting $3000 to let a camera man stand on their roof for 1 day! And another is getting $1000 to have them put a fake sign in their window and film it. I'm hoping for more trickle down movie money.

This is why it cost so much to see a movie and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I go to the movies and wait for them on cable so I'm fine with them paying me. I wish I got a piece of the gross though.

Hold out for a percentage of the box office. That's where the money is.
