The big-time movie folks stormed town last week for their work on The Edge of Darkness; mostly visible via a few previously-unused parking lots around Northampton now filled with semi trailers of equipment, and small sections of Northampton closed to traffic for part of the week to accommodate filming. They've also built a "bad guy lair" on top of Mt. Sugarloaf in S. Deerfield.
A coworker took this picture of Mel Gibson on the set -- handsome fella, no? We’re not sure if he’s a method actor and this is him “in character”, or if it’s just Mel being Mel… (Ed's note: The Dunkin' Donuts coffee is a classy touch. Very authentic.)
It’s coming up on Columbus Day weekend, which means the leafers are expected to be out in full force for the next few days – Peter Pan tour buses and cars with NY license plates will be a common site in the area, and traffic around Yankee Candle is likely to be quite heavy. (Heidi recently stated that Yankee Candle is the most popular tourist attraction in Massachusetts, which is frighting for a number of reasons. She has yet to provide verifiable evidence of this assertion.)
