BRISTOL — Richard Gere was in town yesterday for the first day of shooting of the film Hachiko: A Dog’s Story.
The film crew was at 18 High St., a private residence in the historic downtown that is to be the home of Gere and co-star Joan Allen in the movie. It was the start of what’s projected to be several weeks of shooting in Bristol, Woonsocket and other parts of Rhode Island for the film based on a true story about a loyal canine companion.
For Gere fans in Bristol, the big day will come Feb. 25 when the production closes down a portion of Hope Street between Constitution and Bradford streets for a full day of filming.
