DreamWorks News: 'Revolutionary Road' in Connecticut
Jul 05, 2007 - 03:42 PM
The Pinewood Lake Association raises the curtain on its artistic roots this summer when the DreamWorks movie, ""Revolutionary Road,"" will film scenes here.

The movie, which reunites ""Titanic"" stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, will use settings in and near the lake clubhouse next month, according to Harvey Mamrus, president of the recreational community's Board of Governors.

Mamrus said production officials finished arrangements Monday for the filming, expected to take place over three days the second week in July.

With its exposed beams, the clubhouse fills the bill for a period setting the producers are seeking, Mamrus said. ""It's supposed to be a log cabin,"" he said.

The filming will mean the beach will be off limits for several days to the 220 lake property owners and 100 associate members, but Mamrus said weed treatment, which traditionally bars access for a day, will take place during that time.

The owners' boats may also have to be moved if they don't mesh with the mid-20th Century backdrop for the movie. But Mamrus said that's a small price to pay for the Pinewood Lake community's interest in showcasing its history. ""We started as an actors' colony,"" said Mamrus.

In the 1930s, the area became home to the Group Theatre, founded by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford and Lee Strasberg. It produced plays dealing with serious issues rather than the light entertainment that dominated the era, according to the association's Web site.
