Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz Explode in Bridgewater, MA

September 28, 2009 at 11:30 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were up all night Friday, but not for a hot Hollywood party, instead they spent the night in a Bridgewater, MA field. The pair were shooting scenes for Wichita, aka "The Untitled Wichita Project", their new movie which has been filming around Boston for a few weeks. In one scene shot Friday night, just off of Curve Street, a 747 "crashed and exploded" in a a large field. Though it looked and sounded like a real crash, no planes (or humans) were actually injured in the shoot. The plane arrived to the field on Friday already in pieces and the explosion was nothing more than a little Hollywood magic.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie focuses on "a lonely woman (Diaz) whose seemingly harmless blind date suddenly turns her life upside-down when a superspy (Cruise) takes her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source." So how does this plane crash fit into the this "worldwide journey"?

Apparently, nobody knows, not even Bridgewater's residents who were woken up Friday thanks to fireballs and simulated explosions. Crew members would only say that the field would be made out to be a cornfield in Kansas and, of course, they stressed that they weren't actually blowing anything up. Maybe we'll get more clues about the movie's plot this week as Cam and Tom continue filming in Boston.

In the meantime, if either star is looking for something to do on their downtime, they can take a new tour through Boston's Back Bay offered by Boston By Foot. The one and a half hour tour explains how the neighborhood was created and designed. The tours leave from Trinity Church on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays and cost around $12 for adults.
