They say "You can't go home again" - Luckily Hollywood can do it for you...

Hollywood is invading my past.

Uma Thurman is going to spend some time in my home town shooting her new movie In Bloom, directed by Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog.)

Evan Rachel Wood (Upside of Anger & Running with Scissors star who plays Uma as a young girl in In Bloom) will be the one actually walking the halls of my former Middle School, Sheridan. And how inspiring it will be for her...not. (That will be a funnier line once you see the Borat movie.)

The thing that is kind of creepy to me is the movie is about a girl who lives through a school shooting and it haunts her the rest of her life. The poor kids who currently go to the school will have to see their own school (which has never experienced a shooting) altered through the eyes of fiction and hopefully it will not taint their world with the possibilities of such horror, believe me sometimes New Haven felt close enough on its own.
