Description
The
film
industry
rarely
makes
its
presence
so
felt
in the
community
as
it
will
next
week
. In
case
you
missed
the
news
reports
, the
Cape
Fear
Memorial
Bridge
is
closed
to
all
traffic
for a
total
of
32
hours
and to
one
lane
of
traffic
in
each
direction
for a
total
of
18
hours
over
five
days
next
week
.
Fortunately
,
most
of the
closings
to
accommodated
the
filming
of "
Black
Dog
"
starring
Patrick
Swayze
occur
in the
wee
hours
of the
morning
. "The
bridge
is
closed
down
periodically
for
maintenance
anyway
"
said
Maryann
Nuble
,
who
handles
film
permits
for the
City
of
Wilmington
. "
Since
they'll
be
shooting
mostly
from
10
p.m
. to
6
a.m.
,
it
won't
affect
most
people
.
It's
a
good
compromise.
" On
Monday
through
Thursday
,
one
lane
in
each
direction
will be
closed
from
7
to
10
p.m
. and
all
lanes
will be
closed
from
10
p.m
. to
6
a.m
. A
week
from
today
,
one
lane
in
each
direction
will be
closed
from
9
a.m
. to
3
p.m
. to
film
the
action-adventure
truckin
'
movie
.
State
transportation
officials
recommend
using
the
Northeast
Cape
Fear
River
Bridge
during
those
hours
.
Because
of
all
the
brake
lights
you'll
likely
see
as
drivers
strain
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
heartthrob
Swayze
,
you
may
want
to
use
an
alternate
route
throughout
the
shooting
.
Unless
you're
a
big
fan
of "
Dirty
Dancing
", of
course
. A
shoot
this
week
for an
international
commercial
for
Kentucky
Fried
Chicken
may
have
confused
some
folks
. The
commercial
,
shot
by an
Australian
production
company
, will not be
aired
in the
U.S
. The
storyline
,
which
centers
around
a
bus
making
its
way
across
the
country
toward
Kentucky
, has
necessitated
some
strange
incidents
. For
instance
, a
Department
of
Transportation
sign
reading
"
Welcome
to
Kentucky
" and
featuring
the
Kentucky
State
flag
was
perched
at the
Cape
Fear
Memorial
Bridge
,
causing
drivers
to
do
double
takes
. Also,
because
chicken
sandwiches
are
called
"
burgers
" in
Australia
, the
marquee
at the
KFC
on
Market
Street
had a
sign
that
read
"
Stop
in for a
burger.
"
North
Carolina's
Southeast
, an
economic
development
group
for
11
counties
in
South
eastern
North
Carolina
,
announced
this
week
it
will
probably
cut
the
$60,000
each
from
North
Carolina's
Southeast
, the
City
of
Wilmington
and
New
Hanover
County
,
plus
another
$12,000
it
raises
itself
in
advertising
.
Wilmington
Film
Commission
Director
Mark
Stricklin
says
the
group
is
considering
other
sources
of
funding
, but "
we're
not
scrambling.
" He
seriously
doubts
the
commission
will
close
or
go
anywhere
. He
estimates
that
about
95
percent
of the
films
that
come
to this
area
come
through
his
office
.
Twinkle
Doon's
Cucaloras
Film

fee
is

. "
Last
year
it
was
over
three
days
"
said
Bo
Webb
of
Twinkle
Doon
. "This
year
,
we
hope
to
step
it
up
yet
again
.
It'll
be
over
four
days
at
Thalian
Hall
and
one
other
venue
.
We
also
hope
to have
some
fairly
large
sponsors.
"
Last
year
,
30
films
were
accepted
out
of
more
than
100
submissions
. "
There's
no
prize
money
"
Mr
.
Webb
said
. "If
we
choose
your
film
to
get
into the
festival
,
it's
won
.
It's
a
showcase
, not a
competition.
"
Out
takes
: "
Home
Alone
3
"
makes
a
sneak
preview
Sunday
at
Cinema
6
in
Wilmington
and
Jacksonville
. What
makes
the
Macauley
Culkin-less
feature
intriguing
to
local
folks
is
that
8-year-old
Alex
D
.
Linz
,
is
taking
over
the
starring
role..
. "
Benji

"
looks
very
solid
for
shooting
in
Wilmington
after
the
first
of the
year
, but
it's
not
yet
certain..
.
Shirley
MacLaine
will be
back
in
Wilmington
next
week
to
consider
whether
she'll
film
her "
Bruno
"
project
here.
