ff Long Beach- no, not venice -star in olyimpics closing ceremony with snoop,Dr. Dre,billie eilish.
When te film trucks started rolling into long beach's belmont shore last week,nobody thought much about it.The residential ocenfront neighborhood is such a frequent film set- jeep commercials,'DEXTER" Netflik miniseries 'griselda'' locals mostly shrug when the crews arrive,then carefully steer their curious dogs away from the catering tents
But last week the truck just kept coming in number nobody had seen before,and there was an almost comical air of secrecy as dozens,and then hudreds ,of workers buzzed around rosie's dog beach
" i honestly have no idea," aworker with a clipboard and a walkie-talkie said when asked was they were shooting. meanwhile, a replica of one of the city's iconic life guard stands was being assembled behin her- only this one was a lot cleaner and a much more vivid shade of blue then the real one about 20 yeards away.
"I think it's comercial " another worker said as enormouse cranes with stadium- style lighting righ were meneuvered into place. he claimed not to know what kind of comercial.
by saturday morning,when that whole section of the beach was being wrapped in a privacy tent, word had gotten out that they were filming part of the olympic closing ceremony-the bit were the torch is passed from the current host city to the next.
When the Giant "LA28" sculpture arrived the mystery was solved.
soon snoop dogg and Dr.dre, the red hot chili peppers and billie eilish would be up on the makeshift stage- set beside fake palm trees short enough to be caught in frame-doinng their thing in front of a small but adoring crowd of extras.
Aside from the parking and traffic headaches,local seemed to take the whole thing in stride. that is until some media outlets incorrectly identifield the location as the much better know venice beach.
