Anyways, the overweight girl in your pictures from yesterday was on the set on Monday and that was a real girl. That is definitely not Gywneth. Several extras thought it was at first, but when we got close, it was not. More pics from Clay we have now, one of a BBQ vehicle, and the other a better pic of Mr. Black on the set. The crew were assembling a set in a school cafeteria in nearby Gastonia last week for shooting in the near future, with the help of some local contractors and consultants.
Production is scheduled to continue in the Charlotte area through early summer.
I live just a couple of blocks away, so got to see some of the filming. I can confirm that Gwyneth Paltrow appears as her natural, thin self for at least part of the movie. Dunno what the deal is though. The earlier shoot that I reported occurred with the lobby being partitioned off. This time around it seems as though the street entrance is being blocked off.
