Arthur Newman, Golf Pro – Raleigh, NC

Can Raleigh, NC be mistaken for Hollywood, CA? Not usually but today was an unusual day. One of our camera happy conspirators (CaraDMc) happened to be downtown and caught a few pictures of the filming of Arthur Newman, Golf Pro. The movie slated for release in 2013 stars Colin Firth and Emily Blunt and has a long description from IMDB -

Wallace Avery hates his job. His ex-wife and son hate him, and he’s blown his one shot at living his dream. Not wanting to face all this, he stages his own death and buys himself a new identity as Arthur Newman. However, Arthur’s road trip towards anew life is interrupted by the arrival of the beautiful but fragile Mike, who is also trying to leave her past behind. Drawn to one another, these two damaged souls begin to connect as they break into empty homes and take on the identities of the absent owners: elderly newlyweds, a high-roller and his Russian lady, among others. Through this process, Arthur and Mike discover that what they love most about each other are the identities they left at home, and their real journey, that of healing, begins. [SOURCE]

I know – it isn’t Star Wars and probably won’t score well on the Caddyshack scale but at least part of it was filmed downtown with the N&O posing as a slightly less than fictional Terre Haute Police Department. If you look through Cara’s pictures you’ll see what might be a Colin Firth and what probably is an Emily Blunt but no promises. She was lucky to get as good of images as she did. I don’t think anyone was excited about having a movie made of their movie if you get my drift. If you happened to get closer and perhaps caught more feel free to drop those images in the User Gallery and let me know.

More pictures after the jump…
