Where is 'Hairspray' this week?
At 5:43 PM on
Sunday, September 17, 2006
Penny Pingelton's home -interior and exterior- have been filming the past few days. (the images below come to us from a fan on IMDB):
"these photos are unapproved, papparazzi shots, and not to be taken as representative of the color, mood, lighting or performances of the actual film."
If you can see past the blur -at the 'interior' house- it looks as if Allison Janney is sitting down on a break from filming. 'Mrs. Pingelton' appears to be wearing a green dress with matching green sweater with blondish/red hair. Amanda is walking up the steps in her orange plaid dress.
This next photo was taken along the same street near the overpass:
I am not sure what this location is in the film- perhaps someone uses that Telephone Booth or something?
The Turnblad Home is being re-dressed to begin filming... so we may see 'action!' being called within the week.
I heard shooting may take place in Hamilton- a nearby city- tomorrow. Perhaps to accommodate Mr. Travolta- whose plane flies into the airport there? I have no idea.
(If you find I always end my sentences with "I dont know or may be?" It is because I really don't know. I simply repost the info I hear.)
I also want to take this time to thank everyone who has been emailing the blog - with compliments, comments, information etc...
It has been great getting to know all the Hairspray fans out there!
I hope Mr. Shankman, Shaiman, Whittman and the Cast and Crew know- just how many people are routing for your success. You have a lot of people behind you guys!
Love,
Hairhopper

Know Your Hair:
*Hairspray's budget, to be in the $75 million range.
*Jerry Mitchell and Jack O'Brien bowed out as co-directors (Daily Variety, June 21, 2005) when the film's schedule was pushed back.
Rob Marshall was offered the job, who ironically once planned to choreograph and direct the stage version of "Hairspray" before he took "Chicago." When Marshall declined to do the film, 15 other directors were interviewed before Adam Shankman was chosen.
*Adam Shankman and Marc Shaiman are no strangers! For 15+ years they have worked together on various projects such as:
"Addams Family Values," "Heart and Souls," "George of the Jungle," "The Out-of-Towners" and "The Wedding Planner."
*Christopher Walken, Allison Janney, Broadway's original 'Amber,' Laura Bell Bundy and Movie Musical 'Amber,' Brittany Snow all appeared on the Television Soap "The Guiding Light."
*'Becky,' Tabitha Lupien is no stranger to John Travolta- she played his daughter 'Julie' in the film "Look Who's Talking Now."
* Screenwriter Leslie Dixon also wrote the screenplay for the original "Look Who's Talking" starring John Travolta.
*Hayley Podschun debuted in the National Tour of 'Hairspray' as Tammy, while Jesse Weafer appeared in both the Toronto and National Touring Company of 'Hairspray' as IQ- they will reprise their roles for the film.
