Hollywood celebrities hit the Hub
As more movie studios use Boston as their set, the city has become a destination for Hollywood heavyweights, such as actor-director Ben Affleck, for starters.
The cast and crew of “The Town’’ set up shop in Harvard Square on Oct. 20. Affleck was directing foot traffic outside The Coop in the morning, and cameras rolled in the afternoon when a security guard emerged from an armored car and walked into a bank with bags of money. Passersby said the filming caused little commotion, though one entrance to the Harvard Square T station was closed periodically, according to the Globe's Names columnists.
