Chatham is a film currently in production (just a few hours from me) in Cape Cod and based on the novel “Cap’n Eri” by Joseph Lincoln. It’s a period piece that takes place in 1905. The film boasts a solid cast featuring David Carradine, Rip Torn, Bruce Dern, Mariel Hemingway and my good friend Don Foley who is giving a great account of his moments on the set here.
The romantic comedy centers around 3 retired sea captains who draw straws to see which one of them will advertise for a bride. The “loser” must let the other 2 captains live with both he and the new bride. Personally I can’t see how anyone would wind being the “loser” with the bride being played by Mariel Hemingway but the film should be fun. And I’m also looking forward to see how the trio of Carradine, Torn and Dern play off one another. All are great acting veterans.
Here’s a slide show of the production in progress courtesy of Cape Cod online.
