How many of you are tired of reading articles from online newspapers and/or news stations that are writing about 1-18-08? 9news wrote an article that essentially was regurgitated information from various websites. It was enough to make me look for these icons: poser emoticon aah emoticon shake fist

The latest article, “Bait Balls of Fire,” (big WTF there) has some information I’ve yet to read about.

A few weeks ago, the movie was shot in Coney Island on the blocks contained by West Eighth Street, West 17th Street, Surf Avenue and the Boardwalk.

They shot several scenes at Deno’s Wonder Wheel, a scary swinging Ferris Wheel in which patrons ride in cages as they look out over Brooklyn. They also went on the Scooter bumper cars, played some ticket-stub games in the arcade, and rolled some skee ball.

A member of the Vourderis family, owners of Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park, gave authorization to the film crew to shoot there.

This is pretty interesting. If this is actually true, I wonder what scenes we can expect. Will they be other victims watching the destruction, will they die?

The next quote leads me to believe that their anonymous source, was fed the wrong information about the movie, should s/he decide to talk to press about it:

“It’s about an alien that wipes out all of New York City,” says one of the owners, who wants to remain anonymous. “The footage is taken the day before everyone dies. A bunch of kids come to Coney Island with a video camera. The movie is a flashback to that day.”

We already know that they’re partying before the actual desctruction occurs. The chances of them going to Cooney Island to ride the ferris wheel while NYC is being attacked is pretty slim. But could they be right about what is attacking NYC? It’s definitely feeling a little like War of the Worlds here, but I quite like the alien invasion. Though I would rather watch a more “original” monster movie.

At this point, it’s safe to say that you need to take these articles with a grain of salt.
