Prius Owners, want to get in the next Mel Gibson movie?
I get emails all the time from the casting agencies I go thru, I got this one today and thought I'd pass it on:
"Boston Casting is seeking Women, late thirties through early fifties, who own a Toyota Prius, to work as a Background Performer in the Mel Gibson film, "Edge of Darkness."
The scene will shoot in Eastern Mass, though we do not yet know when. If you own a Prius and would like to be considered, please email us at:
edge.vehicles@gmail.com. You must include a clear photo of yourself, one of the Prius, your phone number and your FULL NAME.
If selected, you will be contacted by a member of our staff. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. As we do not yet know when the scenes are shooting, it may be some time before we contact people.
Again, please email us at edge.vehicles@gmail.com rather than replying to this message.
Many thanks,
Boston Casting"

Wow, I forwarded the Prius one to my boss. She has a Prius, she's in her 40's, and she's a former racecar driver. How cool would that be.

Last Tuesday I was loading my tools into my truck on E.Brekeley when an NYPD police car with a camera mounted on the driver side just cruised by.I think they got me if it was rolling at the time.
