Hugh Grants ‘The Rewrite’ Filmed In Binghamton Has Been Released

Awhile ago you may have seen some Instagram and Facebook pictures of some of your friends with Hugh Grant? Well, now we can tell you. They were filming a movie called "The Rewrite"! The films summary says:

"Once upon a time, screenwriter Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) was on top of the world – a Golden Globe Award and a hit movie to his name, a beautiful wife and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of wit and charm. But that was fifteen years ago: now, he’s divorced, broke, approaching fifty and hasn’t written a hit film in years. Luckily, his agent has a job for him – a university in the quiet town of Binghamton is looking for someone to teach a course in screenwriting, and with an empty wallet as his motivation, Keith can’t say no. Hoping to give minimal attention to his duties and focus on writing a new script, his attitude slowly begins to turn when he meets Holly (Marisa Tomei). A single mum working two jobs to earn her degree, the pair find themselves connected by their mutual need for a second chance."

The movie shows off some of our area including carosels and a lot of Binghamton University! It will be in theatres on October 8th.
