Safe House - the movie currently being shot in
Cape Town CBD - centers on the only
surviving agent of an attack on a CIA safe house (Ryan Reynolds) as he tries to get a
lethal prisoner (Denzel Washington) to a second safe house before being apprehended by
dangerous entities that want them both
dead. Daniel Espinosa (
Easy Money, Outside Love) is directing the film, which was written by David Guggenheim (
Medallion, Exit Strategy).
Other big names involved in the movie include Brendan Gleeson, Robert Patrick, Liam Cunningham, Tim Mcgraw Sam Shepard, and Ruben Blades.
I pretty amped for this movie - not only because I've liked Reynolds since
Van Wilder, and Washington since
The Bone Collector - but also because I'm pretty sure that the whole movie is going to be
instantly recognizable - especially as far as locations go - for anyone who is familiar with the City of Cape Town.
Yesterday,
@chriscaptivate and I took a walk down to the
set of Safe House (they were shooting just outside the entrance to the Eastern Food Bizarre) to get our
paparazzi on and take some undercover photos of the set. This is what we got.
