The boatyard, managed by Ken and Denise Hilton, is being used as a staging area for Moonrise Kingdomwhile the cast and crew shoot scenes off of Fogland in Tiverton.

This summer Newport is abuzz with sightings of these Hollywood heavyweights tearing up the Newport nightlife scene.  Recently Bill Murray was seen rocking out to The HonkyTonk Nights and Ed Norton and Wes Anderson were spotted having dinner at the famed Clarke Cooke House on Bannister’s Wharf.  It’s great to see that these A-Lister’s are enjoying the many splendors of Newport, RI and from all reports they are incredibly down to earth and gracious.

Lucky, lucky man!
