Film Starring City Hall

Posted by Scott Moore on Thu, Mar 29 at 11:22 AM

First, they took over the Broadway Bridge—now, the production of “Untraceable” (starring Diane Lane) is moving on to city hall.

Shooting at the building will begin tomorrow afternoon and go through the weekend, according to a press release sent out by the mayor’s office. Potter couldn’t be more pleased:

“‘Untraceable’ is one of the first projects of this size to come to Portland in several years, and we need to find ways to make Portland more attractive to Hollywood,” said Mayor Potter. “The film industry is a “green” industry which provides tremendous economic benefits to the area.”

In the film, Lane plays an FBI agent tracking down a serial killer.

Wait.

Potter’s inviting an FBI agent into city hall? Isn’t he usually trying to kick them out?
