“Nowhere” to go but out: Filming done

It’s a wrap.
Today, the cast and crew of the Eddie Murphy movie “NowhereLand” finishes up a few shots and leaves town.
After two weeks, dozens of locations, hundreds of extras and $3.25 million, everybody is happy.
“I think it went really, really well,” says Colorado Film commish Kevin Shand. “This has been a great shoot.”
Shand was on hand when Gov. Bill Ritter, Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien, House Speaker Andrew Romanoff and Mayor John Hickenlooper visited the set at the Brown Palace on Tuesday. The producers of the film told the pols that Denver had the “best police they’ve ever dealt with - in the world.”
Marketing/communications exec Kathleen Eccleston was an extra in the flick and lives in the Commons Park/Riverfront neighborhood, where they filmed Wednesday and Thursday nights. She writes in: “The morning coffee run and dog walk just became the social event of the week.”
She says the Plaza at Riverfront was alive with moviemaking - wires, props, lights, camera, action. “Everywhere you go, people are comparing notes and snapping pictures of the set and crew.”
Shand says another big Hollywood movie should come to Colorado Springs in the spring - with a formal announcement coming soon.
