It’s (NOT) a wrap… Eddie Murphy “Nowhereland” movie shoot (DOES NOT) end in Denver
AFTER WRITING THE POST BELOW I NOTICED THE CREW SETTING UP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. TURNS OUT THEY HAD SOME BAD FILM FROM THE SHOOT A COUPLE DAYS AGO SO THERE WILL BE A REPEAT SHOOT TONIGHT. APPARENTLY, SOME FILM HEADING BACK LA GET THE SUPER X-RAY TREATMENT (OOPS SOMEONE FORGOT A LABEL) AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THOSE SHOTS. THEW WILL BE RESHOOTING STILLS ONLY FROM WHAT THE WORD ON THE STREET IS AND THEY DO THE REST IN THE STUDIO USING BLUE SCREEN. SO FOR ALL YOU CELEBRITY SEEKERS THEY SAY THERE WON’T BE ANY ACTORS HERE TONIGHT. BUT THAT BIG OLD CRANE IS GOING UP FOR LIGHTING AND THE REGULAR CREW WILL BE HERE. THAT IS ONE EXPENSIVE OOPS.
I missed the first night of shooting here in Riverfront but did catch last night.
What can I say. It was cool to see. The team hanging between shots, chatting with the extras, watching Eddie do a boogie in the plaza… it was cool. I think part of the cool factor was seeing the same ground you walk on every day turned into a stage, with great special effects, tree lights and stage lights, and water trucks spraying rain transforms into a much different city scene.
It was tough to get pics from a distance in the dark but here are some of the ones that turned out.
Here are a few of the links of other blog entries about the Denver Riverfront Park shooting of Nowhereland. Startling Stories Blog talks to someone on the set and The Denver Post has some great details too.

Hi, I’m Jeff (aka Jefe from Startling Stories, the blog you link to). I was at the shoot on the night you were taking these shots, because I had a small role in that scene (small, but I did have a line with Eddie). Nice shots from above — it’s funny, because in all the shots with Eddie talking to the little girl, I was just to the right of your frame edge sitting on the concrete barrier.
Intersting, I heard they will be shooting again come Monday (11/12).
Thanks for the update Jan. I haven’t seen anything down here in Riverfront, do you know where the filming is going to occur?
Just that my nephew is filming on Monday. Will find out more tomorrow and let you know.
