We are having identity problems. Yes, folks, Hollywood is in town once again. This time filming the movie, The Proposal, due out in September 2009. So, does Rockport filming guarantee a flop movie? Time will tell. Other movies I remember being filmed here have been: The Good Son, A Rockport Christmas, The Love Letter, and Stuck On You. Big stars in some like McCauley Culken, Tom Selleck, Ellen DeGeneres, Greg Kinnear, Matt Damon, Elijah Wood and more. None have been particularly great movies. The Good Son was most likely the best of them.
The Proposal's cast includes Sandra Bullock, Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Ryan Reynolds. Rockport has once again been transformed into someplace else (we're rarely Rockport).
This time we are summer in Sitka, Alaska. 
Town is really spiffed up!
Amanda and I spent about two hours watching and roaming on Monday. We are thinking of heading down again today. Yesterday we took pictures of some of the sets and the transformations in town.
I also got several photos of Ryan Reynolds.
Honestly, I don't have a much of a clue about him other than he's a nice looking 30 something who was in the remake of The Amityville Horror. Filming is taking place over about a week and a half, finishing up the end of this week.

Thanks for the trip downtown. We drove down last evening to take pictures of the kids in front of the totem poles but they were filming right there. When they yelled "rolling" we thought it best to get the boys out of range as they were happily singing and talking.
Hopefully we'll get a picture tomorrow. Hope they leave them up until then. I love to see how things work behind the scenes - maybe I'll get a peek tomorrow. Glad you posted this. If you went down again today be sure to blog about it.
Great fun, huh?
We went again this afternoon. Wandered around and then sat in the sun on the backside of Tuna Wharf and watched them cruising around the harbor with big boom equipment and also loading up the 'Privateer' with equipment for shooting offshore.
Almost got backed in to by an equipment truck. Smart policeman on cell phone signaled for truck to back up right as we were in the middle of the crosswalk. We had to back up in a hurry. Cop apologized and I chided him about the dangers of using a cell phone in traffic!
Maybe I'll post some pics tomorrow.
