previous reports seemed pretty certain they will head there.
In a time of economic recession, a blockbuster film crew blowing in creates a lot of buzz for the town, in both economic and visibility. Gary, Indiana is not an exception.

"A very important piece of information is revealed in this scene," Producer Lorenzo diBonaventura tells the newspaper. "The movie makes no sense without it."
