Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen Film New Movie in Temecula: Video, Photos

TEMECULA, CA — If you walked near or into Temecula's city hall on Tuesday, things may have looked a little different. Lights, cameras and action were most definitely taking place at 41000 Main Street.

Though this was the most apparent sign that Hollywood took over Temecula throughout the last month — culminating in a shoot at City Hall and the mayor's office — the crew of approximately 100 people have been filming at various locations throughout town since early January.

With a total of 18 days of shooting, the cast and crew of 'Garlic & Gunpowder' filmed the entire movie in Temecula. Filming was scheduled to wrap Wednesday afternoon.

Patch had a chance to stop by the action at City Hall, as one of the film's stars, Vivica A. Fox, was filming a scene inside Mayor Maryann Edwards' office. Fox stars in the movie as the fictional "Mayor Brown" and utilized Edwards' desk for a scene.

Watch the video below to hear from the film's director, Harrison Smith, about Tuesday's shoot — and how they came to choose Temecula as the location for the movie.
