February 16, 20187 yr What? That show was awesome. It revolved around a liberal and a conservative trying to understand each other in the early Reagan era. This one will be good too if they get the Robert Culp character right.

April 24, 20187 yr Anyone else watching the new show "Barry" on HBO? Bill Hader dons WMMS T-shirt in HBO's 'Barry' Updated Mar 20; Posted Mar 20 By Joey Morona, cleveland.com jmoronaCleveland[/member].com CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If you watch television solely for the Cleveland references, be sure to add HBO's "Barry" to your DVR queue. The series stars Bill Hader ("Saturday Night Live") as a low-rent hitman from Cleveland sent to Los Angeles to eliminate an aspiring actor who is having an affair with a Chechen mobster's wife. Along the way, Barry takes an acting class taught by Henry Winkler's character, falls it love with it, and then tries to extricate himself from his old life. Got all that? Anyway, in a clip posted on HBO's Twitter account, Barry is clearly seen wearing a vintage WMMS T-shirt with the classic Buzzard logo on it. How's that for authenticity! http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2018/03/bill_hader_dons_wmms_t-shirt_i.html
April 25, 20187 yr This might turn out to be the wrong thread... But does any one know what has been going on at B&G Tavern the past few days? My only guess is that they are shooting a movie or tv show in there.
April 25, 20187 yr This might turn out to be the wrong thread... But does any one know what has been going on at B&G Tavern the past few days? My only guess is that they are shooting a movie or tv show in there. Definitely the correct thread. We somehow lost the "Cleveland in the Movies / TV" thread, and it was combined with the Cleveland film industry thread. So this thread has become a catch all for both industry / business and the occasional Cleveland shout outs that show up in film / tv. On that note, I have no idea to the answer of your question. Hope you spotted some juicy intel!
April 25, 20187 yr i saw this today: Romantic comedy 'The Last Summer' to film in Cleveland, needs actors and extras Updated Apr 24, 9:29 AM; Posted Apr 24, 9:27 AM By Joey Morona, cleveland.com jmoronaCleveland[/member].com CLEVELAND, Ohio -- "The Last Summer", a young adult romantic comedy starring K.J. Apa (Archie in CW's "Riverdale"), begins shooting in Cleveland next month and is looking to cast local actors and extras.

May 8, 20187 yr Production for "The Last Summer" is shutting down Prospect Ave. between E. 36th and 40th for filming. Not that I, or anybody really, care about this movie, but I like the choice of location. The movie is filming in Cleveland as a stand-in for Chicago, so probably with the Brownstone Inn as a backdrop. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2018/05/08/teen-movie-the-last-summer-filming-downtown-cleveland-today For those wondering why the E. 36th through E. 40th blocks of Prospect Ave. are blocked off, Cleveland has yet another filming on its hands. Cleveland police reported that filming for the teen romantic comedy The Last Summer runs until midnight and that drivers should take Carnegie Ave. as an alternate route. I'm always surprised this is the only cluster of walkup brownstones left anywhere in the city. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5018056,-81.6615243,3a,75y,2.92h,98.8t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s6fvk52jsbml52IKOkBr96w!2e0!5s20170801T000000!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

July 31, 20186 yr I know I've mentioned this small budget film, shot in Painesville, on numerous occasions, but nice to see is still being acknowledged. I believe the only main cast member still living is Barbara Barrie, who's 87 now, yet still occasionally appears on stage in New York always to excellent reviews (at least as of a couple of years ago)-- BY MILDRED EUROPA TAYLOR, at 01:17 am, July 23, 2018, HISTORY This U.S. movie garnered accolades in 1964 for being the first film about interracial marriage https://face2faceafrica.com/article/this-u-s-movie-garnered-accolades-in-1964-for-being-the-first-film-about-interracial-marriage http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
August 2, 20186 yr That was a good movie, thanks for sharing. If it was shot in Painesville, does that mean it meant that is geographically where it took place? Like that would be the norm at the time even in a supposedly liberal northern state...which Ohio used to be at that time. Or maybe big cities like Cleveland were liberal but the hinterlands were not?
August 2, 20186 yr If we're talking 1964, Cleveland wasn't very liberal on race relations. Considerable strife was yet to come.
August 2, 20186 yr ^ Right. The city has a really interesting past when it comes to the topic. First black mayor, riots, white flight, etc. Some background: ABOLITIONISM. The contribution that Clevelanders made to the cause of black emancipation was related to 2 geographic factors: the location of the city in the Puritan New England environment of the WESTERN RESERVE, and its position on Lake Erie opposite the shores of Canada, destination of many hundreds of fugitives from the slave South. The village, town, and city that Cleveland became during the antebellum years did not wholly reflect the hard piety and humanitarian zeal for which the surrounding counties of Yankee settlers were long renowned. Instead, Cleveland was like most other fast-growing northern centers of trade: crass, money-conscious, pragmatic, and chauvinistic about Flag, Work, and Progress. Clevelanders were generally skeptical of plans to rearrange society, but like most northerners they had little regard for slavery as a system. In time they came to despise the slaveholders' arrogance and pretensions to political power. Although Cleveland did not rally to the cause of root-and-branch abolitionism, its record of sympathy and help for the black man's plight in America matched, if not exceeded, that of any other metropolitan center in North America, with the exception, perhaps, of Boston and Toronto. https://case.edu/ech/articles/a/abolitionism
August 2, 20186 yr ^ it certainly does have an interesting history on that topic — as does the region. black river landing was the last stop on a main underground railroad route: http://www.morningjournal.com/lifestyle/20170331/underground-railroad-lorain-countys-anti-slavery-contributions-highlighted-at-library-program

I'd guess the proximity to Oberlin played a part in that.
August 2, 20186 yr ^ yeah for sure folks came from oberlin. the sign says there was another farm they stayed at in between as well.
August 2, 20186 yr ^ i remember it was screened at lincoln center or film forum or something. it was shown at the Metrograph on Ludlow St a few years ago http://metrograph.com/film/film/443/one-potato-two-potato That was a good movie, thanks for sharing. If it was shot in Painesville, does that mean it meant that is geographically where it took place? Like that would be the norm at the time even in a supposedly liberal northern state...which Ohio used to be at that time. Or maybe big cities like Cleveland were liberal but the hinterlands were not? I don't think race relations in Painesville were so dissimilar to Cleveland in 1964, it that's what you're asking. As a matter of fact, they were probably better in Painesville. It's a small town, but was diverse even back then (and much more so today), and since everyone went to the same few schools, they were integrated, although you would never know it from the film. The playground scenes show all white kids, so it appears to be one in Painesville Township (certainly not my school, so I guess this was one way for the film's creator to emphasize the "otherness" of the relationship. I do love the couple from the factory with secondary roles who had New York accents, something unlikely in Ohio back then, as now--lol). Remember, interracial couples were rare back then, probably even in large cities, which is what makes the film so unusual-- Though most of the actors didn't become major stars, they went on to be quite successful. Everyone connected with the film is really old or deceased now, the latest casualty is Doug Grindstaff, the sound effects person-- https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/doug-grindstaff-dead-star-trek-sound-effects-maestro-was-87-1130648 "Early in his entertainment career, Grindstaff was a supervising sound editor on One Potato, Two Potato (1964), the groundbreaking interracial drama directed by Larry Peerce that starred Barbara Barrie and Bernie Hamilton." http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/

April 17, 20196 yr Thought I’d pass along this important message. RAISE THE FILM TAX INCENTIVE *The government vote is this week* This is very VERY important for Cleveland and to me as a filmmaker in Cleveland. We have huge Films that want to bring their productions to Cleveland (Including the Russo brothers of THE AVENGERS) which will stimulate our economy with *hundreds of millions of dollars to local business. There is currently $250 million in film projects on the table awaiting the verdict, ready to come here this year. Please take a moment to send this prepared letter from The Greater Cleveland Film Commission to our governor.

July 22, 20195 yr Very cool. The Case Western Reserve alumni and Cleveland natives strike again: Russo Brothers to film movie with Spider-Man’s Tom Holland in Northeast Ohio Today 7:21 AM By Troy L. Smith, Cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Russo Brothers connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is far from severed. The Cleveland directing duo of Joe and Anthony Russo announced at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend that it is teaming with “Spider-Man: Far From Home” star Tom Holland for its new R-rated movie “Cherry.” The film is based on the 2018 novel by Nico Walker and focuses on an army medic (Holland) with PTSD who becomes a serial bank robber to support his addiction. Not only will the movie be set in the Russo Brothers’ hometown of Cleveland, it will also film in Northeast Ohio, according to Deadline. https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2019/07/russo-brothers-to-film-movie-with-spider-mans-tom-holland-in-northeast-ohio.html EDIT: second story. ‘Avengers’ FaceTime Into Russo Brothers’ Comic-Con Panel; Directors’ Next Movie ‘Cherry’ To Be Rated R; Marvel’s ‘Secret Wars’ Teased By Anthony D'Alessandro, Dino-Ray Ramos July 19, 2019 11:43am In a Comic-Con year where many motion major picture studios are sitting on the sidelines, the Russo brothers ratcheted up the excitement and beamed in via video a slew of friends, who largely had fan-questions about Avengers i.e. Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Paul Rudd, Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland. Holland talked about his next movie, Cherry, which Joe and Anthony Russo are shooting in October. The pic will take place and shoot near their hometown of Cleveland. It’s based on the Knopf novel and parallels the true story of the author, a former Army medic who returned from Iraq with extreme un-diagnosed PTSD and fell into opioid addiction and began robbing banks. The brothers said today that the movie will be rated R. https://deadline.com/2019/07/avengers-russo-brothers-comic-con-panel-1202649220/ Edited July 22, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
