Motel Room Sex

Ha! Now that got your attention didn't it!

Rumors about possible filming locations for Jake Gyllenhaal's Nailed now include the Grand Motel, out on Two Notch Road. Not much is known about the Grand other than it has great neon signage.



Oh and there was a murder there a couple of years ago.



Since I'm of very limited cinematic vision, the only thing I can imagine happening in the Grand Motel is hot, sweaty...horseplay and stuff between Jake and Jessica's characters. While Jake is wearing eyeglasses. And in left profile throughout. Or not. Or maybe something along these lines.








The Palmetto Scoop today is reporting on a chance meeting he had with Paul Reubens on set. He has some great pics to go along with the article. He also posts a pic of Paul and Jessica out at a restaurant in Columbia the other night. I had earlier seen mention of the two of them out together in this blog.

And lastly, the Deputy Treasurer of the State of South Carolina has graciously agreed to give up his office during filming so that it may be converted into a "congressman's office". I wonder which faux-congressman will be displacing the poor Deputy Treasurer. Here are a couple of screengrabs from the WISTV news segment.






I've uploaded the actual news segment from WISTV, however, the audio is terribly out of sync with the video - not that I think it matters all that much.

More as it becomes available.

Like new pics!

Jake in Columbia

As opposed to Jake AT Columbia. Because you know that train has left the station.

Well news is starting to trickle out about filming locales in Columbia this week, as well as several Jake Gyllenhaal sightings.

This news item appeared the other day on the WLTX newsite:

Columbia police say they have closed a street in the Downtown area while shooting on the Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal movie, "Nailed," is being filmed this week.

Officials with the City of Columbia Police Department say that Sumter Street between Gervais and Pendleton Streets will be closed until Sunday, April 20, at 11 p.m.

The street closed early Monday morning.

For those cartography-minded people like me, you'll see that Sumter Street is to the east of the Capitol Building in Columbia.



And as we have been reading, the Capitol Building in Columbia is going to act as a stand in for the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

Columbia:


D.C.


Eh, whatever. I can think of better capitol buildings they could have used.



Another view



Nothing a little photoshopping in the editing room couldn't solve.

Already there have been a couple of sightings of Jake working out at the Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center on the University of South Carolina campus. What a fabulous looking facility. Makes perfect sense Jake would spend his off-camera time working out here.







More sightings, film locale info as it becomes available. Stay tuned.
