Crews are spending the day shooting exterior scenes at the Oakland County courthouse and near the closed Ducky's Bar, at 44785 Woodward Ave., and the Sagano Motel, at 789 Woodward Ave.
Oakland County Sheriff's deputies, who often found themselves a bit curious about the filming, blocked off the entire south entrance to the courthouse building.
Jurors and judges alike seemed to be unable to pull themselves away from the windows, attempting to get a good look at Pacino, who stood off the side with two deputies standing near him.
“Everybody is just excited to see Al Pacino,”...

Turns out Al found himself playing the part of an Italian gigolo for real when upon finding himself homeless and hungry. He told The New York Post that
“At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had – my body, … An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself.”
Let's hope the food was worth it, if not the sex!
It also reminds me of the saying: Never say never because you never know what you might have to do in order to survive.
Home Box Office filmmakers for the Jack Kevorkian biopic "You Don't Know Jack" will be in town this week to film scenes for the movie already in production in New York City.
Both interior and exterior shots are planned at the Oakland Circuit courthouse off Telegraph Road in Pontiac...
Pacino has the lead role of Kevorkian, but don't look for him and the man who became known as "Dr. Death" getting together during the shoot...
"Pacino doesn't even want to meet Jack until the filming is done on this project," said Morganroth, a consultant on the film. Like several other principals close to the Kevorkian story, he will be interviewed for a behind-the-scenes "making of" the film expected to be released sometime next year.
Courthouse filming is expected to be shot Thursday and Friday. And for some who were around when Kevorkian made headlines here in the 1990s, the scene may be like travelling back in time.

According to GoLisbon, Al is making a film with Pitt and Cruz in Portugal next year.
EXTRACT:... it was announced that a new movie starring Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, and Penelope Cruz will be filmed around Portugal next year. Most of the scenes will be shot in Algarve, but will also move up the country to Lisbon, Porto, and Aveiro. It’s a remake of the classic “Le Mans” which starred Steve McQueen in 1971, and this time it will be directed by Wolfgang Peterson who directed 2004’s “Troy”. The scheduled dates for filming are the month of August, as the script is still being worked on at the moment. The total budget for this film is 52 million dollars and is expected to have a crew of 600.
NOTE TO ONESELF:
I must remember to book next years summer holiday: Oh where shall I go? Umm... Portugal sounds nice and it's particularly lovely around August time I hear! ; - ) LOL

Celebrity photographer Andy Gotts is used to mingling with famous stars as he captures their quirky portraits.
The man who was brought up in north Norfolk now has an A-list contacts book and portfolio brimming with names such as George Clooney, Kate Winslet, David Beckham and Naomi Campbell.
But he is now finding himself in the spotlight too after his pictures of big names from the world of show business helped win him a hat trick of top awards from British Institute of Professional Photographers.
A shot of actor Al Pacino taken at his Beverly Hills home, and one of movie icon Paul Newman just a month before he died, were among a set of pictures that won Mr Gotts prizes in the first year he has entered the competition.
But he was also given the final, prestigious Fox Talbot Award for his creativity and professionalism.
The picture of Pacino is part of a project he is doing for Sir Elton John's Aids charity, which sees him photographing the 10 biggest icons in 10 different categories for a coffee table fund-raising book.
“I realised I wanted to be a celebrity photographer. There is something about being in charge of someone who is famous, spending time with them, and getting them to do things for you.”
Umm... yes I imagine it would be rather nice being in charge of Al for a while ; - ) LOL
