| JLH Nut   |  Love Charmed By A Hug Thank-you to Jim for this... Posted on Fri, May. 15, 2009 Tattle: Phanatic charmed Jennifer Love Hewitt http://www.philly.com/dailynews/features/20090515_Tattle__Phanatic_charmed_Jennifer_Love_He witt.html Image: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/jennifer_love_hewitt.html [IMG]http://media.philly.com/images/40*40/may08_dn_howardgensler.jpg[/IMG] By Howard Gensler Philadelphia Daily News Daily News Tattle Columnist JENNIFER LOVE Hewitt says that the highlight of her time so far in Philadelphia has been when "I got to hug the Phanatic guy at the Phillies." "I really enjoy walking, 'cause we don't get to do that a lot in LA," Jennifer told our 24/7 colleague Dan Gross yesterday in an exclusive interview on the Main Line set of the film "Cafe," in which she co-stars with her boyfriend, Upper Darby native Jamie Kennedy. "The people here are really nice and they have cute accents," said the actress, who plays a battered woman in the drama that is set almost entirely in a coffee shop. Jamie plays a Penn dropout turned drug dealer in the film written and directed by Marc Erlbaum, who wrote the movie at the Green Line Cafe (43rd & Baltimore). "Marc's done an amazing job writing a clever and evocative movie," Jennifer said. "I love getting to wear my fake tattoos," she said. "I have a really fun character even though she has a rough life." Producer J. Andrew Greenblatt said that he met Kennedy through their mutual friend Jeff Gould. He got the "Cafe" script to Kennedy and Love Hewitt, and both were excited about the chance to work on the movie. "I was glad to try something different," Jamie said of taking on the dramatic role, a departure from the comedy he's known for. "Growing up in Philly, we can all play the creep," he said about his character. Jamie last worked in his hometown shooting a few gags for prank show "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment." Greenblatt, the executive director of the Philadelphia Film Society, hopes to have the film edited by fall and ready to submit to the Sundance Film Festival. The Ambler native and Germantown Academy grad is also producing "The Best and the Brightest," which will soon shoot in Philadelphia, about a couple trying to get their kid into a private school, and "Twelve," based on the book by Nick McDonell, a dark piece about a teenage drug dealer. Jamie and Jennifer are off to Los Angeles this weekend as the film doesn't shoot on the Jewish Sabbath, due to the religious observances of Erlbaum, an Orthodox Jew. The couple, who also work together on "Ghost Whisperer," will be back in town next week to finish shooting the indie picture. |
