Eastwood, Spacey, Elton John amp up Burbank’s star power

BURBANK -- In a triple-header day of film and video shoots, major
stars hit Burbank neighborhoods Thursday.
City Hall acted as a stand-in for the courthouse in “The United States
of Leland,” starring Kevin Spacey and Don Cheadle.
Across town, the Clint Eastwood feature “Blood Work” was setting off
simulated gunshots and staging car stunts near the 2500 block of Burbank
Boulevard.
Meanwhile, a 1970s-style house on Grinnell Drive played host to Elton
John’s newest music video. The pop superstar moved to the Starlight Bowl
for additional shots at night.
“The size of this one is pretty big,” Police Department Senior Clerk
Norma Brolsma said. “Usually we have a commercial here ... we’ve had
major features. But to have three with major stars at one time is
probably a rarity.”
