A pair of helicopters circle the night sky, police and fire fighters line the Okeechobee Boulevard bridge leading to Palm Beach and marine patrol boats motor around the water. It looks just like a major crime scene, but it's not. It's just a Hollywood movie scene. I'm just excited to see the filming that's going on tonight," said Luann Olds, an onlooker. The production has created a quite a buzz around South Florida, and it provided a extra entertainment for dozens of curious on lookers.
"We're from New Jersey, Washington, it's just a beautiful evening and we are looking forward to seeing some action. What ever this movie is, but it looks cool," said another onlooker. "We want to be extras, but they haven't asked so we're just kinda hanging out waiting to see it," said Don Wynne, visitng from Washington D.C.
Film crews are here this week making this action flick currently titled Parker. It stars Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham. There was no sign of those stars on the West Palm Beach water front tonight. But Cheryl and Clay Currier, from New Hampshire say they got a glimpse earlier in the day.
"We saw this very nice black car and we saw the film crew. And she was in it, and they were going around the corner. That's pretty much all I saw, but that was kind of exciting," said Currier. As for the final product, we will have to wait and see until October, 2012 when it is slated to be released. Still, most of the onlookers say it was just fun to get a sneak peak.
