Yay! This is great news! I’m really happy for Ben that he got a new project. I hope this movie doesn’t fall through like “Overdrive” did. :)

I wonder where exactly they will be filming. Boston and Providence is close enough for me to drive there if I knew where exactly to go. They are big cities! Jim Carrey filmed Me, Myself and Irene in the town where I live and I was able to watch some of the filming and see Jim Carrey in person.

I’m also happy for Ben. I was wondering what he would be doing now that he’s done filming Seventh son.

I wish he’d go back to the British films and/or TV series. I’d love to see him in “Downton Abbey” for instance… He’s really too good for all this forgettable Hollywood crap.

Isn’t this Salem Street? That is Bacco, Italian restaurant. Old North end.

This is such good news!

@witchyeditor, let’s hope you will finally be lucky enough to track him down. Good luck, honey!

@Heidi, I have to say I agree with you 100%. Only recently I was thinking how I wish he would do some dramas here at home. We produce some excellent stuff and he wouldn’t need a fake accent. I also really wish he would do some more stage work.

It’s a shame he hasn’t followed Robert Sheehan’s lead of acting in some superb TV series, like Misfits, Red Riding etc, plus of course films and stage plays.

Anyhow, whatever we hope for this IS good news! Anything in which Ben is acting is excellent great!

Nightshade said:

Ooops! I didn’t mean “excellent great” :-O

Just one or the other … LOL.

@LaRose, I hope you can get to see him too!

LaRose said:

I just pray this doesn’t end up like “Locked in.”

@Nightshade- I would love to see Ben in a play. That would be so fantastic, and I prefer Ben”s own accent. To an American woman such as myself, that is part of his charm. lol

Hello lovely ladies,

I was lucky enough to be able to watch Ben film a scene for the movie!! He was about 15 feet away from me and I watched him go from being Ben and then change into character and give a very dramatic performance. Amazing man…even more beautiful in person and truly inspiring to watch him work.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to say hello or meet him because he was working and I didn’t want to interrupt. I was shocked that I was actually standing there watching all of this. Completely unexpected!!

I never thought I would be able to see him in person so this was such a surprise and only a few miles from my house!Happy I can finally share a Ben story :)

@witchyeditor I’m so happy that you were able to see him! I’m trembling all inside for you. He is such a beautiful man! I hope you get to talk to him someday too as I have on a couple of occasions and several others here like nightshade, Carlie, Hana and Mooncake also have. Any experience with Ben is something to remember for the rest of your life!

Dina said:

Alright @witchyeditor! You got to see Ben and some of the shooting, that is so awesome! :)

November 28th, 2012

LaRose said:

I’m so happy for @witchyeditor. I hope I get a chance to see him at least. But, there is always the premiere of this film. Hopefully they will have one in Boston and Ben will be there. Meanwhile, still looking for hints as to where they are filming. At least a general area. Boston is too big to go on a wild goose chase.
