Just as the Hollywood hoopla has died down in Lowell, the city has yet another 15 minutes of fame to experience.
Filming of The Fighter the Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale boxing ballad about Lowell's own "Irish" Micky Ward and his half-brother, Dicky Eklund, wrapped at the end of August. No more celebrity sightings at Cobblestones, however the downtown eatery will be in the lime light once again in a different way.
Ricky Gervais' directorial debut, The Invention of Lying, which was filmed in the Mill City last year hits the theaters on October 2. If anyone has seen the trailer now playing on TV, you can't miss C-Stones, Market Street, La Boniche, Central Street, the Dubliner and other DTL locales.
Above is a pic of Gervais and Garner at La Boniche for one of the scenes. I was there that day and could not believe how beautiful Jen's complexion is! What is your secret girl? Tell us!
The flick stars Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill and Louis CK.
