Ron Perlman wants to make films here. So says the Post-Standard as reported by Teri Weaver on the front page of today's edition.
Ron Perlman. I said "Beauty and the Beast" and Bob said "Sons of Anarchy."
He is here because of Governor Cuomo's Start-up NY Program. And the nano hub in Dewitt. He plans to do most of his post-production there and film around the area as much as possible.
The first movie will start filming July 21st. In a few days scouting will begin for scenes to be shot around Skaneateles.
The movie, "Wooden Lake," will be about a family coming together for a wedding. Jacki Weaver ("Silver Linings Playbook") will star.
Now where could that wedding be filmed?
Adam Weitsman's house on West Lake perhaps? Would he allow it?
Mirbeau!
How about The Sherwood Inn where Alex and Rachel were married?
Or high atop the land for sale on East Lake Road? That's a pretty spot. Maybe in a vineyard somewhere....think Anyela's.
The rehearsal dinner....Rosalie's, with Gary Robinson presiding, and the violinist serenading.
They will hire 200 people for the company..... Perlman would rather keep the jobs here.
So keep your eyes and ears open this summer. Show the film crew that you welcome them and their business. Skaneateles is about to get the star treatment as it has always deserved!
