Bleed For This, the much-anticipated (and surprisingly well reviewed) Vinny Paz biopic, opens in theatres on November 18. While Miles Teller, Aaron Eckhart and Katey Sagal are in the movie, we all know who the real star is: Little Rhody. Here’s a look back at some of our other moments on the silver screen.
1 Downtown
Bleed For This filmed at various locations in Warwick, at Twin River in Lincoln and at our very own Dunkin’ Donuts Center – which we can only hope they filmed with its real name, the Providence Civic Center.
7 The State House
In a stunning moment of prescience, The Purge: Election Year predicted the horror show that has become this year’s election season. The movie filmed in Woonsocket and downtown at the State House.
8 Hope High School
Underdog, the Rocky and Bullwinkle offshoot that nobody ever asked for, filmed at Hope High School and brought along Jim Belushi, Patrick Warburton and Tyrion Lannister himself, Peter Dinklage.
9 Oak Hill
While Jack Black’s The Polka King filmed all over the greater Providence area this summer, including at the State House and Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston, we’re happy that Pawtucket’s Modern Diner finally got the spotlight it deserves. (No, Guy Fieri doesn’t count.)
10 Wayland Square
Infinitely Polar Bear, the indie movie that earned Mark Ruffalo a Golden Globe nod, shot primarily in Wayland Square. Ruffalo himself was often spotted walking to work from his East Side apartment.
