Remake of 'Dinner' being filmed in N.J.
Associated Press
MADISON, N.J. - Shooting for a remake of a movie classic brought some Hollywood stars to New Jersey and to Madison's restored, 88-year-old train station.
The movie, tentatively titled "The Dinner Party," is based on the 1967 film, "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner," starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier, about a white couple whose daughter brings a black boyfriend home to dinner.
Columbia Picture's remake reverses the racial roles and stars Ashton Kutcher, Bernie Mac and Zoe Saldana. Kutcher plays Saldana's white boyfriend, and Mac has taken on Spencer Tracy's old role - the father.
In scenes filmed Saturday, Kutcher's character leaves New Jersey to take a train back to New York City while Mac's character tries to persuade him to stay.
