Jolie-Pitt Love

A local New Orleans blogger posted this recently regarding the filming of the movie and seeing Brad:

The crews working on movies in New Orleans are generally the nicest people. I found out the director of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is David Fincher, director of Seven and Fight Club. So, they’ve got that going for them. After I saw Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette on Wednesday, I looked around for them again every evening after work, but no luck. Yesterday, I heard that Brad was “still in make-up” and would be there soon. It seems the make-up takes a lot of time. The story is about a man who ages backwards, so these scenes they have been filming must be Brad as an old guy. When I saw him and Cate Blanchette the other day, they must have been rehearsing because he looked like himself.

When I left today, Cate Blanchette was apparently there, but Brad was not. I didn’t see her, though. I hate to gawk at celebrities. You know that annoying feeling when you are trying to work or eat lunch and people keep coming up, trying to get your autograph and stuff? No? Neither do I, but I think it would be weird, so I leave them alone.

A guy I know on the crew told me they are moving somewhere else for the weekend and then to Covington on Monday. Next week they will be somewhere on Napoleon. Tomorrow I think he said they are filming at Tulane and Broad using the Criminal Court Building as an old train station. I can’t wait to see this movie now. I have a souvenir Benjamin Button parking pass.

The women at the office are pea-green with envy that I saw Brad Pitt, especially since I wasn’t looking for him.
