Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted October 4, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Just a note for the legions of romantic-comedy film fans on here. Or a salve, in case you get dragged to see it. I didn't see specific Hawks in the credits, and the only NBA player I see listed is Steve Nash. http://www.thespec.com/whatson/artsentertainment/article/264290--life-as-we-know-it-is-heigl-s-best Messer (Josh Duhamel) is a womanizing, motorcycle riding TV director for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. http://www.seattlepi.com/movietimes/moviepn.asp?movieID=91920 Though the house was the central set in the film, there were others that were critical to our understanding of Holly and Messer's individuality: Fraiche, Holly's café; and the studio where Messer works as a broadcast technician for the Atlanta Hawks basketball team... The NBA was also very cooperative with the production. ``We couldn't have done what we needed to do without them, Josephson declares. ``Not only did they allow us to use real footage, but they got us into Phillips Arena and introduced us to the Atlanta Hawks. The filmmakers were permitted to shoot at a game, as well as a scene on the floor of the empty venue, which depicts a critical moment for Messer. For the broadcast booth, where Messer works during games, Ahmad and his team were prepared to build a set when TBS stepped in. ``As it turns out, Turner Studios had a large production booth available, with all the switchboards and monitors and so on, which worked out really well for us. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
