Ryan Hurst – Savannah Unplugged http://www.billdawers.com Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:13:43 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 18778551 The “CBGB” film shoot in Savannah in 50 tweets http://www.billdawers.com/2012/07/29/the-cbgb-film-shoot-in-savannah-in-50-tweets/ Mon, 30 Jul 2012 02:34:07 +0000 http://www.billdawers.com/?p=3490 Read more →

]]> CBGB has finished principal photography, and it appears that the filming has left Savannah’s public stage.

As many of you know already, I’ve been following the shoot pretty closely, and I’ve been especially interested in the effect of Twitter and other social media in allowing fans and stars to engage each other.

Twitter posts are generally public, and there’s an easy feature to embed them in websites. So I’ve selected here a more or less chronological collection of entertaining Tweets that chronicle the movie shoot.

The biggest flurry of public excitement was during Rupert Grint’s time here playing Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys, but you’ll see more direct engagement with the city from the movie’s stars, including Ashley Greene as Lisa Kristal, Malin Akerman as Debbie Harry, Stana Katic as Genya Ravan, Ryan Hurst as Mad Mountain, Joel David Moore as Joey Ramone, Freddy Rodriguez as Idaho, Donal Logue as Merv Ferguson, Richard de Klerk as Taxi, Peter Vack as Legs McNeil, Mickey Sumner as Patti Smith, Julian Acosta as Johnny Ramone, Steven Schub as DeeDee Ramone, and Katherine DuBois as Genya’s friend. There’s also a great pic of Taylor Hawkins at The Jinx.

Hurst’s work is done, however — you can read his take on his departure via Delta in the tweet below.

Much of the 36-year old actor’s filmography has been on TV, most notably “Sons of Anarchy”>

He certainly sent some interesting tweets out to his 44,000+ followers while he was in Savannah:

]]> Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy also joined the cast.

From Deadline Hollywood:

Freddy Rodriguez has joined the cast of CBGB. The Six Feet Under star will take on one of the film’s leading roles, “Idaho,” an addict who hung around Hily Kristal’s infamous New York City club in the 1970s. Rodriguez, who also appears in the upcoming Code Name Geronimo, the John Stockwell-directed drama about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, is scheduled to start work on CBGB next Monday, June 25. Randall Miller is directing and writing the indie film about the club that saw the birth of American punk rock with bands like The Ramones, Blondie, Television and the Dead Boys performing on its tiny stage. Sons of Anarchy’s Ryan Hurst has also joined CBGB. The actor will play a biker named Mad Mountain who is a regular at the club and provides Hily Kristal with some much need help when the CBGB owner gets leaned on by local crooks.

And if you’re a little hazy on who Freddy Rodriguez is:
