Big name may/could be seen in Enderby area

[GordonH]

A movie for Disney is about to start shooting in the Enderby area, staring George Clooney & Hugh Laurie (House)

So how many of you are going to try to get a look.

Uh.......no

[gardengirl]

I haven't heard of anyone who has actually had a siting. I think the production is supposed to start next week.

[kaboomski]

I know exactly where the location is.

[GordonH]

Just want to straighten something out, I'm in no way a fan of either of these 2 actors.

This movie will bring exposure to that part of north Okanagan which could be a good thing.

Entertainment personalities........ the new Gods. Maybe we can go roaming through the streets of the Okanagan and actually see one, instead of having to watch Entertainment Tonight every evening and worshiping from afar. If I actually see one, and they make eye contact with me, will it make me a better person, and will I have my entry to heaven guaranteed?

And I hope their presence in the Okanagan doesn't mean exposers are with them.

North Okanagan can use every bit of economic help it can get, yes or no.

I think Gordon H made a typo. I suspect he meant that these celebs will bring the area some exposure.
From that, perhaps some economic benefit.
I could see why it could be attractive for big celebrities to work here. People are pretty passe about the whole thing.
We have had sports celebs coming here for years and they pretty much come and go without much fanfare.
There are no big lineups or paparazzi harassing them. People are pretty respectful of them and don't get in their faces.
I think it will be the same with movie people. There is interest for sure, but not the fan insanity you would find in larger centres.
I've talked quite a few people in Enderby and none of them has gone out of their way to find the movie stars.

Experience has taught me that sometimes it's better NOT to meet a famous person you've always admired from afar. Because the reality often falls far short of the fantasy, and you're left disappointed.

Over the years there have been several famous people I initially held in high esteem who, once I actually met them, turned out to be not very nice at all. Sometimes it's better to continue to live with the illusion.

I agree. I miss the magic of old Hollywood. I don't need to know all their personal dirt, what kind of toilet paper the use or any of the other stuff that is all over today. I liked it when movie stars looked like movie stars. You never saw them in sweatpants. They were very careful about their public images and part of their job was to maintain a sort of "class".
I don't want reality. I live that every day. I want my movies stars to be something special and movies a place to escape the reality of the daily grind.

Would be fun to rent a big Limo with blacked out windows and cruise around out there for an evening.

In Enderby you would collect a line of cars behind you wondering where the funeral was.

[Queen K]

Everyone knows that the funerals are on the Enderby-Grinrod backroad.

In Enderby everyone would be wondering who let the dogs out.

Actually that is where the cemetery is located. A funeral would be at one of the churches.
Nonetheless. A limo in Enderby pretty much means someone died.
