Filming in Myrtle at the Boardwalk Resort


Boardwalk Resort Movie Filming Part 2 (3:00 p.m.)

Half of the crew was in the front of the building and half were in the back. Onlookers were milling around on the beach and across the street hoping to get a glimpse of someone famous. I realize now I should have waved to them and given them a thrill :)  Making sure I had my card key, I stood watch out on the front balcony. 

Ken called and said he was on his way back from golf. He asked me if I wanted to meet him downstairs and go somewhere. I told him the crew was still here and told him to park the car and scout out the ground floor on his way up. (Really, I just wanted to watch the cops give him a hard time for crossing the roped off barrier! LOL) 

Much to my disappointment he waltzed right past the caution tape and NOT ONE person said a word to him until he got to the front door. Unbelievable! 



He arrived on the 6th floor and said he was in the elevator with two crew members who said they were filming on the 7th floor (Unit 733 - one floor up and two units over)! While we were waiting they brought a group of 'extras' up on our floor and placed them in units next to us and in other various units on floors below. They gave the 'extras' beach towels and had them drape them over their balconies. We heard them instruct the 'extras' to lean over the balcony. So, of course we leaned over ours! Why not, right? 

We heard someone say they were going to shoot an evening pool party, but they were waiting for the sun to go down, so they could see the lights on in the condos while people were leaning over their balconies. About 2 hours passed and all of the 'extras; were still on their balconies waiting. Finally, they decided to scratch the pool party and told everyone to come downstairs. Meanwhile, one of the crew members took pictures of each of the balconies with people on them (including us)! 

So, who knows, we might be in the movie?????  Or, not. Either way, we are happy to give autographs. Oh, and for those who may be aspiring to become and 'extra' . . .  it's exhausting.



Here's a gallery of pictures for real! Pictures 2, 15, 18, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 40, 41, 55 are all at our condo.
