Adrian Grenier And Mimi Rogers Take ‘Public Affairs’ To Norfolk, Va

D.C. be damned, Adrian Grenier and Mimi Rogers are set to film ‘Public Affairs’ in good old Norfolk, Va.

A new political thriller movie is headed to Norfolk, Va and with it comes star of HBO’s ‘Entourage’ Adrian Grenier and seasoned actress Mimi Rogers (‘Bosch’).

According to Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, the Eric Bross directed thriller will begin filming around the Norfolk area in June. The governor also noted Virginia’s sizable, and steadily growing, film industry as well as highlighting the state’s artistic integrity and rich political history.

Virginia has a rich filmmaking history that reflects our Commonwealth’s great contributions and key roles in American history and politics. – Gov. Terry McAulliffe

While very little other information surrounding the film has been released, IMDb’s plot synopsis on the film’s page describes ‘Public Affairs’ as:

A young campaign aide gets in way over his head when he sleeps with the wife and daughter of a presidential candidate only to end up bleeding out on the side of an empty road at night.

Seemingly centering around politics, one would think ‘Public Affairs’ would be better off filming in the Washington D.C. Area. Aside from the recent precedent set by big budget films like Tom Hanks’ ‘Captain Phillips,’ another likely reason the production may have dipped south to Norfolk rests with co-producer and Norfolk native Jeff Frizzell.

I am proud to be able to help bring this feature film to Virginia. Our locations and crew are second to none, and with the extraordinary help of the Virginia Film Office, we were able to make this possible.

‘Public Affairs’ was written by Tom Cudworth (‘American Girl’) and will be executive produced by George Voskericyan as well as co-produced by Eric Boss, Stephen Israel and Jeff Frizzell.

Pooya: Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
