OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- There are new details in the ongoing production of a controversial film in Oakland. The movie "Fruitvale" is supposed to depict the events leading up to the shooting of Oscar Grant at the hands of BART police officer Johannes Mehserle.

The movie began filming earlier this month, and like most productions, there is often a tight seal on information. Friday we learned that filmmakers were able to recreate the moment when a BART police officer pulled the trigger on the platform.

[...]

The scene of Grant's shooting was quietly filmed last weekend at the Fruitvale BART station. That's according to a source familiar with the case who was also on set. This weekend filming is scheduled to continue at the San Leandro station -- that's where Grant's mother says police tried to collect camera phones from BART riders.

Grant's uncle, Cephus Johnson, says this film lays out the two days leading up to his nephew's death. "I'm having high hopes for the movie," he said. "I believe that this is an opportunity for the world to come to see Oscar 48 hours before he was murdered -- a young black man, just living life."

BART administrators have granted full access to the production. However, some questions are being raised about money BART will be collecting from the producers. A BART spokesperson has not released any information about charges associated with permits and staff overtime related to filming.

Grant's family says they're not happy BART is making any money from the film. "They actually know what happened," said Wanda Johnson. "They know that my son was murdered senselessly, so it should be done for free."

This is a film that includes some notable Hollywood talent. Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer plays Grant's mother and Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker is co-producing the picture.

Oh My God

Fandoms Collide!

Now all I really want to know is if Chad watches LOST. I mean, he's a huge fan of Fringe which is from the same people who created LOST. So it's a possibility

I checked his twitter and IMDb a million times to make sure. So random but pretty darn cool. Like...why did he follow the

account?

Did he somehow hear that we were talking about LOST in here?

Idk, idk.

Going Friday. Wish me luck.

UpInFlames · 08-01-2012, 08:20 AM

Good luck, Jamie! I'm not sure if they're still filming on location or out in the open anymore

Seems Chad is in Disneyland, not sure if that means he's wrapped

Jamie Choate · 08-01-2012, 10:26 AM

I've heard so many different things. I know some have lucked out and some have been turned away. Mostly I've been reading that he may be done so I don't know what I'm going to do.

angelface211 · 08-01-2012, 05:30 PM

Ya I've been reading he's done too so I don't think I'm going to waste a trip for nothing.

UpInFlames · 08-01-2012, 05:49 PM

I'm sorry guys. I seriously thought he'd be around more

angelface211 · 08-02-2012, 11:06 AM

Me too!! Maybe he doesn't have a very big role

UpInFlames · 08-02-2012, 11:10 AM

That's kind of a bummer

But I know he did well no matter how big or small the role is

angelface211 · 08-02-2012, 11:12 AM

Yes I am sure of that!

NateRises · 08-02-2012, 02:14 PM

Well probably he will be the second BART officer..And Durant will have the lead because he will be playing the cop who kill Grant.. I think we will just see chad on the crime scene as the officer who send the civilians away
