If the upcoming feature film, “Ping Pong Summer,” is to be filmed
entirely in Ocean City, it will require not only the town’s logistical
cooperation, but also a significant financial contribution from the
municipality, according to an email sent by the film’s lead producer to
city officials.
In a message to Councilman Joe Hall, producer George Rush stated that
he was contacting Hall – and would soon be contacting the mayor and
other council members – to introduce the idea of filming in Ocean City
for six weeks beginning in mid-September. Rush mentioned four Hollywood
notables who have committed to the movie thus far – Susan Sarandon,
James Nesbitt, Amy Sedaris and Judah Friedlander.
As previously reported by several entertainment websites, the film
will star Sarandon in a coming-of-age tale about a teenage boy obsessed
with table tennis and early hip-hop music, and his memorable family
vacation to Ocean City in the summer of 1985.

If O.C. was smart, they'd cut Sarandon a check NOT to visit the area.
ReplyDeleteI would not donate even a used turd to anything involving Sarandon.
ReplyDeleteSarandon can stay on the left coast.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what your problem is with Ms. Sarandon, but keep it to yourself please.
ReplyDeleteThese millionaire people need money from the city of Ocean City??
Unreal.I didn't read all of the story so anything that was said after I stopped reading, I have no clue.
I was hoping the movie and crews would bring some much needed money to the area but now I'm not too sure.
Almost sounds doomed from the start.
And to be fair, should I have kept that to myself?
OC is run by lefties and they will probably give her anything she wants. I'd suggest giving her O'Malley.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to keep my opinions of Sarandon to myself if she would stop trying to force her leftist opinions on everyone else. If she gets to espouse her line then I get to do it as well. Fair is fair.
ReplyDelete11:50....look up Susan Sarandon & Cindy Sheehan on the internet....I wouldn't give Sarandon water if she was dying of thirst!!!

Ok, sounds fair enough. I don't know that much about her or her views.
But you know what? I should not have said 'keep it to yourselves' in the first place.
I hereby withdraw that statement.
You have that right to speak your mind. I'm sitting at this computer almost falling asleep.
So I will blame my mistake on that. lol
I apologize and thank you for not going off on me. I truly would have deserved it.
Have a nice weekend, and thanks for being civil.
