Whiner Wonderland

Since we started our Chasing Michigan series last month, we've touted all of the things that make Michigan a perfect filming location: Friendly people, tax breaks, a variety of locations. But we think the cast and crew of "High School" may have discovered the one downfall: The harsh winter weather.

One extra, who was on set during the first week of shooting, wrote in Joy to the Blog that the cold weather was her "own personal misery." Michael Chiklis filmed his first scene for the movie in the snow, and last week the cast and crew set up a car crash in Howell bundled up in puffy jackets, winter hats and heavy gloves. The irony of all this is that the film is actually set in southern California!

This may explain why Adrien Brody, who is also starring in "High School," is so cranky lately. Perez Hilton reports that in a very recent interview with The Advocate, Brody flat out refused to answer some of the interviewer’s questions. When the reporter told Brody he was trying to "show your sense of humor here," Brody responded, "I didn’t sign up for that." Ouch, someone might want to invest in a pair of long johns.
