Christmas in July?
July 24, 2011
You’d think so from looking at this photo of decked-out Milan tram No. 1811, not to mention the wreath-bedecked light poles in front of the Ferry Building. But it turns out to be a little money-making opportunity for Muni: a charter of the tram earlier this month for filming a scene of the forthcoming feature film “The Five Year Engagement,” a comedy starring Emily Blunt and Jason Segal.
Muni has chartered streetcars numerous times for film and commercial work. We hope they’re getting top dollar for them. For our part, we picked up a couple of decorating tips for our own holiday decorating work, which we hope to expand this year. More on that in a future post.
It’s funny how Muni will do a charter despite the current ban due to a supposed lack of operator trainers.
