Chris Sarandon movie films in Westport
Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges’s “R.I.P.D.’’ is the big-budget movie filming in Massachusetts this fall, but there’s a smaller project on our local film docket that’s already kicked off production in Westport. Work started Monday for “Frank the Bastard,’’ a gothic thriller that will be filmed in our Bristol County but will take place in Maine. The movie stars Rachel Miner, who has been on “Californication’’ and was Carrie Bradshaw’s twenty-something fan on “Sex and the City’’; “The Shawshank Redemption’’’s William Sadler; and Chris Sarandon, who had Colin Farrell’s role in the original “Fright Night.’’ (He also has a nice, bloody cameo in the new reboot of the film.) “Bastard’’’s producer tells us that the movie will shoot locally for 32 days.
