La Taverne Montcalm, who has set up shop at the corner of Lois and Montcalm in Hull, will not host its regular customers tomorrow. It will take rather a taste of Hollywood as the alter ego of Jack Kerouac, in the guise of British actor Sam Riley, will take place at the beverage counter. He will be joined by Neal Cassady (Garrett Hedlund) pursued by police after a car theft.
The crew of the film adaptation of Kerouac's cult novel, On the Road, will invest around Montcalm and Tavern tonight to prepare the site for the purposes of indoor and outdoor scenes that will be shot tomorrow.
First spotted by a director filming locations, La Taverne Montcalm was finally selected by the Brazilian director Walter Salles himself during a recent visit to Ottawa.
"They were looking a tavern forty to fifty years, to match the period of the film's action, says the manager of the establishment Charles Seguin. They liked the fact that we have kept an old look in the place, although it was renovated and changed the floor, three years ago. They have also requested access to the roof and they will install vintage cars in our parking lot, on the other side of the street (Acts). I was told that the scene they were running around with us and take about two minutes into the film. "
That said, "they will take everything off the walls, inside and build a false wall to hide the slot machines. By cons, they asked me if I had other plumes hang! "Says the manager, pointing to those of moose and deer that decorate the corner" hunting and fishing "of the tavern.
Because they had "no idea of the size of the case" or a professional production at the outset, Mr. Séguin, his father and brother, all partners in the management of the tavern, have hesitated before agreeing to rent it.
"They came at least three times before it begins to negotiate. The only name they mentioned when they saw we were a little skeptical, is that Kristen Stewart, the girl who plays in Twilight. They even hired the former mayor Michael Light, who knows the family and just eat more turbines on Friday with his friends, to convince us! "Says Charles Seguin.
Subsequently, it is more the day of filming that the amount of rent that both parties had to negotiate. "They wanted to turn on Tuesday, which is a good day for us. It was finally agreed on Wednesday, says Seguin.
As to compensation offered by the production, it is just, not extravagant. It is perhaps a bit more than what I would do as revenue on a Wednesday, "he adds, without revealing the amount.
Built in 1921, the building has housed a first trade of food for livestock, before being transformed into a tavern some 20 years later. Since 1954, the Taverne Montcalm Seguin belongs to the family from the hands of Yvon Séguin his brother Jacques in 1972. The latter is now a partner with his son Charles and Philip.
