It’s hard to believe the summer is almost halfway over. On July 18th, the wrap party for the cast and crew of What’s Your Number was held at Splash nightclub in Boston. Since mid-May, the romantic comedy starring Anna Faris had taken over Beantown, shooting on Newbury Street, Post Office Square Park, the North End, Beacon Hill, Boylston Street, and the docks on Boston Harbor, among many other locations. As for what is left of the summer months, there are a number of productions that will be taking advantage of that ongoing Massachusetts tax credit by filming around the city and beyond.

Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt, at one time was rumored to be shooting in Boston this summer. That plan was scrapped and the production commenced shooting at the Oakland Coliseum on July 26 and will run through Aug. 6.

On Monday, June 28, director Martha Coolidge began filming Sunny Side Up in Boston. The film follows the zany story of a woman who teams up with a famous fitness pro from a fictional reality show to save her family’s chicken farm.

Starting in September, New Bedford, MA will be hosting the likes of Rosemarie DeWitt and Chris Messina as they shoot the indie comic drama Fairhaven, which will also, appropriately, shoot in Fairhaven as well.
