Wichita Knight and Day on Location

Posted on 22 Oct 2009 at 4:00am

Tom Cruise‘s Untitled Wichita Project has recently been renamed Knight and Day. The action comedy screenplay, co-written by James Mangold and Scott Frank (Marley & Me, Minority Report), follows a fugitive couple–Cruise and Cameron Diaz–on a glamorous, yet deadly adventure around the globe. Cruise and Diaz will share the screen with Wilton, CT native Paul Dano in the role of an eccentric genius behind a revolutionary technology.

Directed by Mangold (Walk the Line; Girl, Interrupted), the film production was spotted on the streets of Charlestown and South Boston just last weekend. Previous filming locations include the Worcester airport, Bridgewater and Somerville. While there has been talk of production in Woburn, sources reveal that the Commerce Way outpost is merely a storage station rather than a film set.

According to an October 13 press release, Knight and Day will also film in less local locales, including Austria, Spain, and the tropics. The Twentieth Century Fox/ New Regency co-production is scheduled to hit theaters on July 2, 2010.

Wichita Casting Updates

Posted on 02 Sep 2009 at 4:43am

According to an August 30 article on Actress Archives, “Lost” actress Maggie Grace has entered into negotiations to star in James Mangold’s made-in-Massachusetts flick Wichita, alongside the likes of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The Hollywood Reporter stated that Grace is slotted to play Diaz’s soon-to-be-married sister. Like the bride-to-be, Wichita will undergo a name change soon; keep an eye out for the project’s new title.

But you don’t need a famous last name to score a role in Wichita; Boston Casting’s e-mail on August 28 stated the following: “We are looking for Mothers to work with their babies as extras on the film Wichita. Job starts shooting Sept. 15th and shoots through to Thanksgiving. We are SPECIFICALLY looking for young moms with children 0-2. If interested, please email photo of mom and baby to [email protected], please be sure to include your contact information.”


Stage moms rejoice.
