There sure has been a bustle of some Hollywood-gone-to-Texas activity down here in the District recently. Today, trucks, generators, people and equipment lined Hi Line Drive as camera crews and advertising gurus from the Dallas-based Richards Group descended upon Scott+Cooner in the Decorative Center to film a short marketing piece for one of their large telecommunication clients.

One Richards Group staffer told me the large space and variety of furnishings at Scott+Cooner allow cameras to capture what would appear to be multiple locations in just one area. Trick of the trade, you might say.

And that isn’t the only film industry crew spotted recently in LOL! Week before last, Fox’s new drama, Lone Star, filmed an art auction scene for the series’ third episode at Art Ability on Oak Lawn Ave. Seen spotted on set and around the District include cast members Jon Voight, Andie MacDowell, and James Wolk. Lone Star premieres Monday, September 20 at 9/8 Central on Fox.

If you haven’t noticed, photographers have a love affair with the Design District and routinely bring their clients here for shoots (Check it out here, here and here). Guess Hollywood’s catching up with ‘em.
