- Well, we’re sorry we didn’t have more info on a shooting location, but we do hear that a handful of you found your way to the Jersey Girl set in Highlands on Tuesday. Here’s a couple reports, and some photos from the set above. You can also check out these photos, and many others, at our Exit 37 Jersey Girl Website.
Just wanted to let you know that I took a ride to the Highlands yesterday to check out the filming. They were filming a scene on a side street near the river. The scene centered around Ben Affleck driving alongside a street sweeper driven by George Carlin, getting out of his car, and then yelling a few lines at him as George continues to drive the street sweeper. Really interesting to watch.
The scene involved George Carlin and Ben. George was driving his street sweeper down the road when Ben drives up next to him, cuts him off and begins to yell at him. Don’t want to give away to much so I wont say what was being said. They shot this scene a dozen or so times, stopping briefly when Ben drove to close to the street sweeper and George hit it. Minor damages to the BMW. Jlo was also on hand but was just relaxing and watching. She left with out a nod to the dozen or so fans that were gathered. Ben left approximately 20 minutes later. No autographs but he at least acknowledged us and waved. He seemed to be in a very bad mood. Then again that could be his method acting coming out! All in all it was a great time! The locals were very friendly. Well except for an old guy who drove down the street when the cops told him no. He got a ticket for his carelessness! Of course he vowed to fight it! Wonder if that got on film?
I also saw signs that said “Camera Position” with arrows leading up a road to an overlook. There was a crew up there filming some sort of overview of the Highlands. I also heard someone on the crew mention that they were filming at Sandy Hook (a large beach area) later in the day.
I took some photos, they came out a little dark because of the distance. [See above]
