"The Details" at Mitchelli's

Some of our grandchildren went to Disneyland this summer.  Meanwhile, here at Mitchelli's, a sort of Disneyland (or a circus is more like it) came us! Remember the all the filming going on in Seattle this year? Well….Ray Liotta and Tobey Maguire, along with their fellow actors, were in Mitchelli’s to film several scenes for the upcoming indie black comedy, The Details! The filming all took place behind the curtain...kitchen scenes, office scenes - all in all a very exciting affair. The photos give you an idea of the intensity of their effort; we started in the wee hours of the morning and finished the shoot right before lunch. I’ve never had 15 people at once in my office before, wow! To think that I actually poked my head in the office at one point when the only person in it was Ray Liotta, and I asked him if he had remembered to place the wine order, he laughed!! All in all it was a great event and some of us even got to be “extras” in the film. It is due for public screening either at Sundance Film Festival or the Cannes Film Festival in 2010 so keep your eye out for The Details.
