ICE CUBE: Get Paranoid

With Colin Farrell filming away from downtown and Sigourney Weaver lost in South West Philly, you haven’t heard much about the Philly filming of Dead Man Down and Political Animals for a minute. But there is some other local-shoot news: USA Network’s Animals just hired Vanessa Redgrave to play a lesbian Supreme Court Justice. “The buzz is fantastic so we’re hoping to get an order for more episodes,” says Sharon Pinkenson, exec directress of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, excited too that Redgrave will be working in Philly. While Pinkenson goes on to say that Dead Man Down will wrap its local shoot around the 20th of June and Political Animals goes till mid-July, she also confirmed the rumor I started several weeks ago in Ice Ill when I mentioned that Harrison Ford would be in town. The reason: Paranoia, a tale of corporate intrigue filmed by a British production company co-starring Liam Hemsworth, Embeth Davidtz and Gary Oldman. Yes, Gary Oldman will be in Philadelphia. Dag. “We’re expecting a late July start in Center City mostly for Paranoia,” states Pinkenson.
