is there a movie filming just outside davis?

Looks like they was some filming going on down the highland ave area, at least that's what I could tell from the yellow signs saying "Home Base", "Town", "Crew", "Catering" and things of that nature, plus many trucks that had set stuff on it.  Any idea what they're filming?  It looked like the most action was happening on the side streets next to Somerville Hospital.

Thanks!

Yes, it's The Town with Ben Affleck.

Your best source for info like this is the Loaded Gun Boston blog.

Ahh, all this movie stuff going on in the area is cool, maybe it's time to jump careers :)

I believe that Ben Afflecks' wife, Jennifer Garner, is also from the area, or has family in the area, so they often live here (Cambridge) for extended periods while they're filming.
