Star sightings in Raleigh Wednesday?
Wednesday, November 09, 2011
RALEIGH -- It was lights, camera, and action in downtown Raleigh Wednesday.
Academy Award winner Colin Firth and actress Anne Heche were spotted shooting a movie scene on Fayetteville Street.
The new movie is "Arthur Newman, Golf Pro," and also stars Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt.
Firth and Heche shot a scene involving a hot dog vender. Fans like Meredith Blaylock came prepared.
"I brought my camera, just in case we were to get a glimpse," she explained.
She managed to snap several pictures of Firth from inside her office building just across the street.
"It's exciting to have a star-watch opportunity right here in downtown Raleigh," she said.
Producers said while the scene is being shot in Raleigh, in the film, it'll be portrayed as Orlando.
The Fayetteville Observer (http://bit.ly/uHoTzH ) reported that the movie filmed in the town of Fairmont Tuesday.
Firth was last in North Carolina in 2009 to film a movie in Durham with Orlando Bloom, Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson and Amber Tamblyn - to name a few.
"Main Street" was released straight to video before hitting theaters.
If you snap any pictures of the stars while they're in town, we'd love to see them. Email them to
