Taking a break from redevelopment news: It looks like Cadillac Records, which opens today, can be added to the list of movies filmed in Rahway.
Thanks to a blog reader who passed along this report from All About Jazz:
“On a brisk March day in Rahway, N.J., Beyonce and Adrien Brody are filming a crucial scene for their upcoming movie, Cadillac Records. The set is an old Ukrainian social club that has been converted into a 1950s production studio, complete with vintage instruments and cream, perforated walls.”
Both Yahoo! Movies and IMDB mention filming locations only as New Jersey, nothing more specific.
Meanwhile, The Wrestler, which we mentioned early this year and opens in limited release Dec. 17, is racking up indy nominations, rave reviews and Oscar talk.
I just recently was an audience member at the Martha Stewart Show and Adrien Brody was the special guest as he was promoting this movie. Relevant to your post? Not really, but I just thought I’d share!
I just saw this movie and not only did it stink – I didn’t recognize a single scene that looked as though it had been even remotely shot in Rahway. If someone can point me to the Ukrainian Social Club then I stand corrected. 4 Rotten Tomatoes for this one and an extra thumbs down for leaving the Rahway footage on the cutting room floor.
