The CBGB biopic will have authentic toilets


A few more details today about the CBGB biopic via the Savannah Morning News ...

• Crews are continuing to build the set that will replicate CBGB in a Savannah studio. "The actual bar — and toilets — of iconic club CBGB will be flown here and installed." (Ed note: And where have the toilets been in recent years...?)

• "There's also a lowered area where producers will shoot false exteriors of the Bowery, with virtual New York looking north across Louisville Road, west of downtown Savannah."

• "The open extras call for “CBGB” is 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday at Meddin Studios, 2315 Louisville Road. Producers are looking for music lovers, musicians, motorcyclists, 1970s car owners and people with an overall ’70s look."

    Well, I guess there will be no casting call for someone who lived through the 70’s. Sigh, dazed and confused forever.

    I read somewhere (thought it was here but maybe not) that all the CBGB stuff - the bar, the awnings, the toilets - were kept in storage in some Brooklyn warehouse since it closed.
