Boston Marathon bombing movies filmed during Monday race
BOSTON (AP) — With the real-life Boston Marathon underway Monday, Hollywood film crews took to the marathon finish line and Fenway Park to shoot scenes for competing movies about the deadly 2013 marathon attacks.
Wahlberg's production has been rebuffed at a few key locations, though, as some victims' families and survivors have voiced concerns the movies are being made too soon after the attacks.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was sentenced to death last year for the attack, had been a student at the time and returned to his college dorm afterward.
[...] the Town Council of Watertown also denied the filmmakers' request to recreate the scene where Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a fiery shootout with police, although residents were overall supportive of the idea.
