Farrelly Brothers Film at Fenway

The Farrelly Brothers, who directed such films as The Lady Killers (2004), Something About Mary. and Dumb & Dumber, are filming a new film entirely devoted to the Boston Red Sox. "Fever Pitch," will star Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. Fallon is a die hard Red Sox fan who is split between the Red Sox and his love for Barrymore. The very neat thing about this film, is the Farrelly Brothers have been shooting the film while the actual games are being played. The Farrelly Brothers asked Red Sox Director of Business Affairs, Chuck Steedman if making this movie would be alright with the ball club. Steedman explained that the Red Sox organization had three guidelines: 1) Make sure the film does not interfere with the Red Sox's chance of a playoff berth, 2) the integrity of the game; the Farrelly Brothers cannot "screw with the game," while filming, and 3) do not damage the already damaged Boston Red Sox field any more than it needs. A movie date has not been set.
