One of New England's best-known clam shacks is shutting its doors for a few days to accommodate Hollywood.
Woodman's of Essex says it will be
closed to customers until Friday morning to allow for the shooting of a major motion picture. The shoot was originally scheduled for early August, but the restaurant said producers called Monday and asked if they could film the indoor scene this week instead.
It seems the persistent rainy weather has made outdoor shooting around Cape Ann impossible.
The film "
Grown Ups" ("Lakefront")
began shooting in the area in May. Starring Adam Sandler, Salma Hayek, Kevin James and David Spade - the comedy is about a group of high school friends who reunite as adults.
Woodman's said on its Web site that this was the first time it has ever shut down in June.
The seaside restaurant opened in 1914 and lays claim to being the birthplace of the modern, deep-fried clam.
