They are filming the movie "42" here in Chattanooga and the kids and I are movie extras! It is starring Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson, Harrison Ford is Branch Rickey, and Christopher Meloni is Leo durocher. We dress in our 1940's wear and get our hair and makeup done and sit there for hours in the stands while they shoot a few minutes of a scene over and over until they have it right, lol. It is fun though and they feed us. And I have seen Chadwick Boseman already, probably seen Christopher Meloni and didn't realize it, and I get to see Harrison Ford next week
Unfortunately we can't yell our undying love at the actors or get autographs or grope them...er um I mean shake hands with them or anything though. I have some pics I took of the kids and I during lunch break. Bad quality cell phone pics though. All the "people" in the background are not people. There are about 50 of us grouped together, maybe a little more, doing the action stuff in the stands. The rest are dummies. They are creepy looking up close! But they said that when they do a scan with us moving around and a few people moving around among the dummies it will look like the stands are full. We got pretty close to the front so far so I hope we are seen a few times!
