Orlando Bloom Filming 'Main Street' in Durham, N.C.

April 9, 2009 at 9:00 AM | by cmb | 2 Comments

"Main Street", featuring Orlando Bloom, Andrew McCarthy, Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson, and Colin Firth began filming in Durham, NC this week. According to IMDb, the movie is about a small town, Five Points, and a diverse group of residents whose lives change when an outsider brings something new and potentially dangerous into their quiet town.

The Durham Convention and Visitor’s Bureau had published a map of all locations and the dates when filming would be taking place but the map has mysteriously disappeared. They must have realized the potential chaos that would ensue once thousands of Orlando Bloom fans knew where he would be on any given day. Luckily, several savvy bloggers captured the information before it went poof. Check out the tentative list of locations for the four-week shoot after the jump:

We Heart Colin Firth and His Travel Picks Too

June 30, 2008 at 9:30 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

We have to confess to just a tiny crush on Colin Firth, that quintessential English gentleman who we adored in "Bridget Jones's Diary" and is starring in "Mamma Mia!" soon. This tiny crush means we are very, very open to the travel suggestions he made recently in the UK Times.

Colin's especially keen on the desert, like the stuff you find in the northern Sahara in Tunisia, but it sounds like the place on earth that he'd most recommend is the west of Scotland.

He's vacationed in that part of Britain more than once, but he's also spent time around Loch Fyne filming a movie and says it had an "impossibly romantic glow." Right: Adding west Scotland to our must-travel list now. We hope the charming Colin Firth will come along with us.
