"Girl Most Likely" (formerly : "Imogene") - Broad Channel in the Movies....

Back on August 11, 2011 the production crew for the motion picture "Imogene" was filming scenes in our community of Broad Channel.  

Production trucks, catering vehicles, etc. were parked all over Cross Bay Boulevard and on East 8th and 9th Roads.

As I was wandering around town I ran into one of the stars of the movie and posted a picture of Darren Criss on this site.

Several scenes for this movie were shot in Broad Channel on East 8th and 9th Roads, along the east side of Crossbay Boulevard and along a stretch of Cross Bay Boulevard in the Gateway Preserve Area.  A sign had been placed along that stretch of road welcoming visitors to "Ocean City, New Jersey."

The story concerns Kristen Wiig who stars as Imogene, once a promising young New York playwright whose promise has fizzled, thanks to a crisis of confidence. Heavily in denial about being dumped by her society boyfriend, Imogene uses her skill for drama to stage an elaborate fake suicide as an appeal for his sympathy. But her attempt backfires when she's put into the custody of Zelda, her estranged gambling addict mother (Annette Bening), and must return home with her to Ocean City on the Jersey shore (actually Broad Channel).

Desperate to get back to her Manhattan circle of so- called friends, Imogene must finally deal with her family, including her unique brother (Christopher Fitzgerald), Zelda's new boyfriend The Bousche (Matt Dillon), plus a cute young lodger (Darren Criss),who together help Imogene sort out her place in the world. 

The movie which was re-titled "Girl Most Likely..." opened in theaters locally last week on July 19th.
