Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher film movie in Huntington Oheka
Cameron Diaz, Ashton Kutcher film movie in Huntington
Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher recently stayed for a week at Oheka Castle in Huntington -- the newly restored Gold Coast estate of financier Otto Hermann Kahn turned catering and events hall -- to film the upcoming movie "What Happens in Vegas ... "
The 20th Century Fox comedy, due out in 2008, is about two people "who discover they've gotten married following a night of debauchery, with one of them winning a huge jackpot after playing the other's quarter," according to the Internet Movie Database. The "unhappy pair try to undermine each other and get their hands on the money -- falling in love along the way."
Production took place the week of Sept. 24 -- apparently Kutcher and wife Demi Moore's second anniversary. Moore accompanied Kutcher for the shoot, staying with him at the estate, also a hotel where rooms can cost up to $1,700 a night. Diaz stayed for the week, too.
Five scenes were filmed at Oheka. There was an outdoor party scene for which the Oheka staff prepared pastries. Another scene took place in the garden at night, during which the lighting crew stood atop 40-foot towers to illuminate the scene. In the so-called Gatsby Bedroom, says Tom Young, Oheka day manager, the crew shot "a love scene" for which it took three hours to sew Diaz into her dress. It also took many hours to film a scene inside the Terrace Film, which was transformed into a Vegas-style casino. And, on the front lawn, the crew shot "bicycle polo."
Apparently, the filming will amount to about 12 minutes, if used for the film.
