THE LOVELY BONES IS FILMING AT DD Family Restaurant on Coatesville, Pa. They seem to be shooting scenes involving a bluescreen so these scenes will feature some CGI. Wait is that fake snow I see?!?!?!?
Thanks to Dana for this e-mail:
Peter Jackson and crew are setting up to film at the DD Diner on business
route 30 in Coatesville tonight. The base camp is on the campus
of Coatesville Senior
High School.There is a flashing sign near the diner that say route 30 will be
closed from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM.They have the usual equipment on site along with
the 70s cars we've seen in all the photos.I walked up the street taking pictures
and was approach by a very rude angry old security guard,who yelled at me to
leave. It's amazing how mean these rent-a-cops can be. I may attempt to walk up there tonight
to see the filming, if I can get past the minions of Allied Barton security
goons.

Another e-mail update from Dana:
My son and I watched the filming at the DD Diner last night. All scenes shotwere dramatic (no action). I saw Mr. Jackson directing and the only otherperson I could recognize was Rachel Weisz. There were scenes being shot in front of a blue screen as you can see just to the left in the photo.They were still shooting when we left at 1:30 AM.
Amanda e-mailed me this set report:
Was driving through Coatesville, just outside downtown and they were
filming at a diner right near the highschool around 5pm Fri. Was a major set!
Lights, cranes, crowd of 70's extras, vintage cars and the diner was taken over
by Hollywood and their trucks. Didn't have my camera, really drove into a total
surprise. I live near the school they filmed at and was prepared for that
invasion. Didn't think that downtown Coatesville would make the movie, although
it is quite ahhh… vintage!
