Today, "Men Who Stare at Goats" is filming around White Sands National Monument, just outside of Alamogordo, New Mexico. White Sands is the largest gypsum sand dune field in the world, though the dunes look more like snow-covered hills than something out of a spaghetti western. You can actually rent a saucer at the visitor's center to try sliding down the dunes ski slope-style.
The park is also surrounded by the White Sands Missile Range--which may be the exact location of today's shoot--an area that's been used in several movies, including "Transformers." It's still active, and occasional road closures around the entire complex can happen when experimental weapons are being tested.
Saturday, "Middle Men," starring Luke Wilson, will be filming on Westchester Parkway in Los Angeles just outside of LAX. If Luke has to film inside the airport, his celebrity status won't get him any special treatment: According to the Daily News, the Los Angeles City Council decided this week against regulations that would control paparazzi at LAX and give priority treatment to celebs.
