oh taunton!

remember the taunton dam crisis a few years back? taunton is about to be famous again! oh my hometown...

martin scorsese has chosen taunton, boston, and medfield for the settings of his newest film "ashecliffe", starring leonardo dicaprio, michelle williams, ben kingsley, and michael ruffalo (who i have an unexplained mini-crush on). the movie is based on dennis lehane's (who wrote mystic river) novel "shutter island".


according to the mayor of taunton, "shooting in Taunton will take place in the Whittenton Mills buildings, owned by the same developer as the Whittenton Mills dam that was at the heart of the dam crisis in 2005."

love it.
