Behind the scenes at "Our Lady of Victory"
It has been a hectic news week here in West Chester, so I did not get a chance to visit Hollinger Field House at WCU yesterday for the filming of "Our Lady of Victory," and I will be out of town this weekend for my brother's 40th birthday bash, so I won't have the chance to visit the set. However, Heather Simons, an intern here at the DLN, did a great story that ran in today's paper about the movie. She wanted me to post some tidbits from the set yesterday.
Producer Pat Croce’s mom showed up on-set unexpectedly on Thursday. Dolores Croce had never seen the set before, and said that her son had no idea she was there, but she didn’t know where he was either. Miscommunications aside, Dolores supported the film and her son’s efforts. “He’s amazing,” she said. “He always tells me, ‘It’s a challenge, Mom!’ and I say, ‘How many challenges can you have?’”
WNBA player Ruthie Bolton, who has a role in the film, also spoke to Heather about an after-school program she started for children called "Aim High."
"I have played professional basketball for 15 years, but basketball is only a platform to do God’s work," Bolton said. "I know what my purpose in life is and everyday I try to fulfill his purpose by reaching out and paving the way for youth,” she added.
David Boreanaz, a star of the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and Carla Cugino, who was in "Sin City" and "Night at the Museum," will be on-set Saturday for the last day of filming at WCU.
Over 3,000 extras are needed for the shoot, so if you are over the age of 14, show up between 12 noon and 8 p.m. in ‘70s gear to do some cheering, experience the on-set atmosphere and ogle a celebrity or two. There will be live entertainment by Joe Conklin and a DJ and prizes , including a flat screen TV, scholarships to the Cathy Rush basketball camp, two nights at the Borgata, and autographed memorabilia, and more.
Thank you to Heather for this info.
