Gisele's First Movie Role

If you see a really hot, tall girl in a chauffeur's uniform around town, no, it's not your fantasy come to life, it's just DiCap's girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, "acting" as a chauffeur in Taxi, some sort of comedy starring Queen Latifah as a cabdriver and Jimmy Fallon as an ambitious detective (wowee, what a spin on the interrcial buddy movie - a skinny pretty white boy and a beautiful rapper-turned-Oscar nominated black woman!). Gisele plays either a Brazilian thief or the head of a Brazilian smuggling operation - you know, something highly improbable. But Gothamist is praying for a long and drawn out fight scene, where Latifah shows Gisele who is Queen.

Updated: Reader Brendan emailed us this picture of a clearly-souped up taxi cab that Queen Latifah will be driving. Egads, Gothamist fears what flimsy plot device propels the appearance of this cab. But we'd like any stories of busy people trying to jump into this cab for a ride, much to the chagrin of PA's guarding the thing.

ruidh: You can just peek in the front of the trucks and it will say the name of the shoot -- also you can always ask a teamster -- they're the guys standing around doing nothing... they love to chat.

Does anyone know of a good way of finding out who's shooting what when you pass by a street full of production trucks? Sometimes I'm curious, but I don't want to interrupt the crew who are sitting there "working".

The French movie it's based on, called "Taxi," was a great breed of comedy and action. It was so successful, they made a sequel (and per the law of sequels, the second movie wasn't as good). The French Taxi was funny, original, with entertaining car chase scenes, hopefully this will be a luckier adaptation than the infamous "Visiteurs."

Kristen

fyi... we met with Fox on this one but ultimately did not write it (too bad for us). It's based on a French movie by the same name... did you see it?

Alison

She looks like an Oompa Loompa. A very tall, beautiful Oompa Loompa. But still very, very orange.

not jealous

Could she be wearing more self-tanner?

I saw them shooting a scene at Madison Sq. Park a while back. When I first approached the shooting, I assumed it'd be for some low-budget, no-big-name-actor movie, but then I saw Jimmy and Queen and sat around for a while to watch them film. Thanks, Gothamist, for letting me know the scoop!
