Sex in The City 2 Dr Phil OTS LARRY HOLZER Reports 090909

L511 LARRY HOLZER Reports From NYC 090909
On the set of Sex And The City 2 today. Long waits as the girls took at least 3 hours each in makeup. When I arrived I caught a glamorous looking, Cynthia Nixon strolling to the set.
Todays theme was a flashback to the 1980’s with Sarah Jessica Parker channeling her inner Madonna. Kristin Davis was kind of the anti-Madonna. With both stars looking great I was happy to finally shoot the scene.
As I left the set I happened upon Dr. Phil as he is preparing his new show for the NYC area.
Lots of waiting around today. As always check out the large crowd that the Sex and the City ladies always bring out.

SEX IN THE CITY 2 on the set LARRY HOLZER Reports L510

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Before leaving on vacation, I was at the set of Gossip Girl where I got some trailer to set footage of Hilary Duff and Leighton Meester.
Also at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel was Christina Millian and her boyfriend producer “Dream”
Today I shot some really great footage of the fabulous NYC ladies of ” Sex and the City 2 “
The first scene was Kim Cattrall [ Samantha ] trying to cross a busy NYC street. Kim lovely in black, slaps the car and surprises the driver.
After shooting the scene a number of times, Sarah Jessica Parker [ Carrie ] arrived on set to share some hugs and kisses with Kim.
Also arriving on set were Cynthia Nixon [ Miranda ] and Kristin Davis [ Charlotte ]. The ladies shared some moments then did a very quick rehearsal of their upcoming scene. Hugs also for Director, Michael Patrick King
The scene was a hard one to shoot but with lots of coaxing [ from the 100 paparazzi on set ] we got the fabulous foursome to pose.

After they broke for lunch the day resumed with a scene with just Sarah J. and Kristin. After many takes the girls moved to another area of the plaza and when they did about 500 fans who were across the street charged across 5th Avenue. You will enjoy watching as police and security converge on the 2 stars. It is very funny video. For all you fans who couldn’t wait for the new movie I shot about 40 minutes of fantastic video. Much more tomorrow.
I was walking over to the “David Letterman Show” when I spotted the beautiful actress, Taraji P. Henson leaving her hotel. Taraji signed some autographs and smiled for the cameras.
Over at Letterman Julianna Margulies was leaving quickly. Once you see her horrible P.R. witch Kara you know there will be no posing or autographs. Just the usual fake wave.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was more than happy to cross the street and sign lots of autographs. I got some good video of Mr. Blair.
Also at the show to tape the Friday night episode was super actor, Michael Douglas. Mr Douglas is promoting his new film ” Beyond A reasonable Doubt “
Michael is also going to begin filming Wall Street 2 in NYC starting this week.
Gossip Girl Star, Leighton Meester was also on the show. Both stars signed autographs and posed briefly.

JULIA ROBERTS SMILES On the set of Eat, Pray, Love

Monday, August 24th, 2009

On the set of Eat, Pray, Love, the usual nonsense continued. Trailer shot of Julia Roberts. The rules are we must stay so many feet away, no running, no swarming around. The fact that many onlookers get involved is completely lost on them. I shot what I could. Also on set actress Viola Davis.

L509 LARRY HOLZER Reports From NYC 08/21/09

I shot the beautiful actress, Renee Zellweger a couple of times this week and today I shot her a couple more times. Renee in town to promote her newest film “my One And Only” appeared on Regis and Kelly Live and the David Letterman Show today. At Regis she posed and signed some autographs and ran into an old college friend. The two took a picture together and shared a hug.

Later at the Letterman Show, Renee had her publicist Lesley Sloan ask us not to yell as it disturbed Ms. Zellweger. We all stayed quiet except Carmen who kept talking about how quiet we will be. Renee posed and crossed the street to meet with her fans.

L507 LARRY HOLZER Reports from NYC 08/18/09

 
With sweltering summer heat and high humidity I ventured out to the ABC TV Studios, for this mornings GMA.
The first arrival was Breast Cancer Survivor, actress Christina Applegate. Christina who stars on the TV Series Samantha Who? signed some autographs and posed for the few papps on hand. Although she said she would pose more on her way out, she instead chose to sneak out of the building.
 
Renee Zellweger looked great in her tight gray dress and giant bag. Renee posed, and also signed autographs. Renee didn’t sneak out, but she did leave rather quickly. I also shot a little Diane Sawyer footage.
Went downtown to the set of Eat, Pray, Love the new Julia Roberts film. Although it was an interior shot I got some footage of the walk from trailer to set.
 
On set with Julia was Oscar nominated actress, Viola Davis. Ms. Davis was either overwhelmed by the heat or she hates me!
Back uptown to The David Letterman Show. Todays guests were Diane Kruger starring in the Quentin Tarrentino Film “Inglourious Basterds” and Billionaire Real estate Mogul, Donald Trump.
 
Exhausted, gotta go

L506 LARRY HOLZER Reports From NYC                 08/11/09

On the set of “Gossip Girland lots of cast members are around.

 Matthew Settle [ Rufus ], Penn Badgley [ Dan ], Taylor Momsen [ Jenny ], Blake Lively [ Serena ] also on hand Connor Paolo and Kelly Rutherford.

The scene is set in an upper eastside restaurant. The scene is an interior, so I could only shoot street shots and through the window.

 
 On the set of the new CW, TV series “The Beautiful Life” was show creater, Ashton Kutcher. I shot some video of Ashton working with the Director and some producers. As he left the set he went inside to say goodbye. As usual he ignored the calls from the paps.
 
Also on set was Mischa Barton, smiling, smoking, fanning herself and looking gorgeous. The other actress on set today was Australian SuperDuper Model, Elle Macpherson. It is just unbelievable how fit and beautiful she is.
