How did they like filming on location?
“I only wish we could have filmed more of the movie here,” Cheadle told Yeas & Nays. Despite his political activism on Darfur, which has brought him here several times recently, he said, “I don’t get to come to D.C. a lot. … I have two young kids at home.”
D.C. native and co-star Taraji P. Henson (“Hustle & Flow”) said they shot most of the film in Canada. She said she only comes back twice a year, although she added that she brought a lot of that “D.C. flavor” to the film.
“The Apprentice’s” Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, a former Clinton White House aide and 10-year D.C. resident, was also spotted on the red carpet.
Also in attendance was director Kasi Lemmons, Greene’s friend Dewey Hughes and screenwriter Michael Genet.
