Monday 1st September 2003: Shall We Dance? Update:
Winnipeg Sun reports that Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez are expected in Chicago Wednesday for exterior filming on "Shall We Dance?", including scenes near the city's L Train transit system.
Lopez completed her scenes in Winnipeg Thursday.
Friday, film trucks were back at the classic old house on South Drive where filming began in June--the film residence of Gere and co-star Susan Sarandon.
On the weekend Gere and Sarandon re-shot a scene in the Convention Centre parking garage downtown where Gere's character chases after Sarandon as his wife. Sarandon's character has hired a private investigator when she believes her onscreen husband is having an affair.
Gere, who celebrated his 54th birthday on the weekend, was also involved in shooting at The Leather Patch store on Academy Road.
Nathan Hogg, assistant manager of nearby Academy Uptown Bowling Lanes (a converted movie palace once known as the Uptown Theatre) told the Sun that Gere was outside waving to everybody.
One Academy Road business owner was on her way to the set with 54th birthday balloons for Gere when she tripped over a pylon. She ended up being taken away in an ambulance with an injured leg.
Hogg told the Sun he believes the balloons eventually got to Gere.
A wrap of local shooting party was later held at Winnipeg's Fairmont Hotel, once known as The Winnipeg Inn and the Westin-Winnipeg.

Monday 25th August 2003: Shall We Dance? Update:
H has been in touch with the following " The Monday, Aug. 25 Winnipeg Sun has a pic and story by staffer Paul Turenne saying Jennifer Lopez, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Mya and other cast members from the movie Shall We Dance? rented the second floor of the 529 Wellington restaurant last night for a dinner together before they all head their separate ways by next weekend.
No mention of who will be involved in September exterior filming in Chicago."

Thursday 14th August 2003: Shall We Dance? Update:
This just in "HIP-HOP artist Ja Rule cancelled a concert in Winnipeg earlier this summer, but it looks like he's going to get a chance to get together with Jennifer Lopez here in town anyway. The inside word is that he has a small part in Lopez's movie Shall We Dance. It should be a happy reunion. Ja Rule, born Jeff Atkins in Queens, New York, collaborated with Lopez on the hit song Ain't It Funny. Though the movie Shall We Dance is set in the world of ballroom dance, it would appear to have a strong hip-hop component as well. Pop star Mya has also been cast in the film. "

Friday 1st August 2003: Shall We Dance? Update:
Just received the following info on the Shall We Dance? filming "Ben and
Jen met up last night in Winnipeg's Exchange District.
Sources said mega-star Ben Affleck hooked up with fiance Jennifer Lopez on
the set of the film Shall We Dance.
Shooting wrapped up at 12:30 this morning on Ross Avenue between Princess
and Ellen Street.
A voice on police radio said filming was done for the night and that Lopez
was ready to be picked up and that Affleck was with her.
Security near the set was fiercely tight. Streets were manned by police and
additional security, heightening speculation that Affleck was on the set.
It's believed Affleck had an early morning flight out today." Thanks to H!

Saturday's Winnipeg Sun has a front page picture of Richard Gere and
Jennifer Lopez filming a scene for Shall We Dance?

Friday 25th July 2003: Shall We Dance? Update:
The following info on Shall We Dance? has just been sent in " Last night (July 24th), in the midst of the chaotic atmosphere of the Winnipeg Fringe Festival and 30 degree heat for the fifth day in Old Market Square, downtown Winnipeg, a block of Albert Street which is a notorious prostitution-ground in Winnipeg was barricaded for the filming of a scene that involved Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez strolling down the street to a flower stand, where, assumably, Gere buys J-Lo flowers. A crowd of perhaps 60 fans stood on the perimeter to watch as Gere and Lopez listened to direction for the scene. As it was Lopez's 33rd birthday yesterday, the crowd broke out in a loud (if sloppy) version of 'Happy Birthday', which J-Lo acknowledged with a wave and a smile that promted giddy cheers from the small collective. It was rumoured that Ben Affleck, filming in Vancouver, would arrive in town for the occasion, but hadn't been sighted late into the evening.
The shoots now move indoors for two weeks, after which it is assumed there will be more scenes filmed around the Chicago-styled Exchange District of Winnipeg." Thanks to Rene!

H has sent in the following info today "WINNIPEG Police say that the
necklace stolen earlier this week from the set of the movie Shall We Dance
wasn't a factor in the grisly murder at the Royal Albert Arms.
Sgt. Terry Desmond, of the Winnipeg Police Service homicide unit, said the
necklace was found in the hotel room where the body of Robin Robert Greene
was found by police Wednesday morning.
But Desmond said the man charged with Greene's murder, Sydney Teerhuis, 33,
hadn't stolen the necklace.
The necklace was reported stolen Tuesday afternoon from one of the trailers
on the movie set. Scenes were being filmed that day at the Legislative
Building. A police source said that the necklace, valued at about $4,000,
belonged to actress Susan Sarandon, one of the stars of the movie.
Desmond provided no further details on the city's 12th murder of the year
and would not say how the stolen necklace ended up at the murder scene.
Desmond said there was no indication that the two men had been fighting
over the necklace.
Desmond would not confirm some media reports that said Greene's body had
been dismembered and his internal organs removed. Desmond would only say
that the autopsy found that Greene had died of multiple stab wounds.
Police said this week that they learned of the murder when Teerhuis turned
himself in and led police to the Exchange District hotel room. Teerhuis has
been charged with second-degree murder. His next appearance in court is set
for July 10. "

Thursday 3rd July 2003: Shall We Dance? Update:
Just received the following update on Shall We Dance? and An Unfinished Life from H " Canadian Press story, I found in the Sun tabloid newspaper chain on Thursday (www.canoe.ca, I think their Jam showbiz section would have it.
It is datelined Burdett, Alberta and starts off:"Gas station owner Shannon Pahl and his family were the toast of this small Alberta community Sunday when Jennifer Lopez spent the day at their business shooting a scene for the movie "An Unfinished Life."
I imagine the story originated with the Medicine Hat News, though I found it in the Winnipeg Sun.
The Thursday Winnipeg Free Press notes that John O'Connell, who worked on "Moulin Rouge" and "Strictly Ballroom" is the choreographer for Shall We Dance. The paper has a piece on Sarah Murphy-Dyson, first soloist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, being one of 16 locals who landed dance parts in the movie along with her husband, RWB principal dancer Johnny Wright.
She notes that the dancing in the movie is very different from ballet."

Monday 30th June 2003: Shall We Dance Update:
Just received the following info on Shall We Dance " The Saturday Winnipeg Free Press reports that Len ("About Schmidt") Cariou has been added to the cast of "Shall We Dance" in the role of Richard Gere's boss. The New York City-based Tony Award winner for Sweeney Todd on Broadway tells the paper that he grabbed the role because it will give him a chance to visit his relatives and grandchildren where he started his acting career in 1960. The Winnipeg-native is also a former artistic director of the Manitoba Theatre Centre and will be in L.A. Tuesday as part of an MTC delegation to kick off a new relationship with an L.A.-based theatre. Cariou will return to his home town on Wednesday to begin shooting.Over the years the Free Press has followed Cariou's theatrical career. He tells the paper that films, television and commercials such as one as the voice of Burger King enable him to keep working at meaty, but low paying roles in regional theatres." Thanks to H!

Tuesday 24th June 2003: Shall We Dance Update:
Just received the following cool info on Shall We Dance "Filming on "Shall We Dance" got rolling Monday at a classic look old house on South Drive in Winnipeg's Fort Garry area.
The impressive old house with two driveway entrances was once the home of the late local politician and entrepreneur Richard Bonnycastle, who started Harlequin Romance novels in 1949.
The current owners moved out over a week ago to make way for the production at what I believe will be Richard Gere's home in the film.Two-way traffic along South Drive was cut to one-way with sorry for the disruption for filming signs greeting motorists.
Equipment including Polaris Starsuites was also parked earlier all around the Fort Garry United Church on Point Road, some distance from the old house.
The Winnipeg Free Press for June 23 has a big feature keyed off a page one teaser: Rules for Stargazing....Keep your cool if you spot Richard Gere, J.Lo and Susan Sarandon in town.
The Page D1, section front story by staff writer Randall King added in the headline that stargazers should keep their distance and let the visitors do their work and enjoy their stay.
"J.Lo is a person, too--let her eat dinner in peace" added the page D1 subhead.
Actually J-Lo isn't here yet. Believe the week of shooting in Chicago may not come until either late August or early September.
Both the broadsheet Free Press and the tabloid Winnipeg Sun have carried stories and pix on the production.Unconfirmed media reports from the film's production office say the production could be here until about August 29 before moving to Chicago. The Sarandon role of Gere's wife was first offered to Britain's Emma Thompson. Believe both the director and producer are British." Huge thanks to H Atkinson!
