The producers of a big-budget movie starring two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro are seeking the town’s permission to film during the overnight hours at Burning Tree Country Club, the first time the Greenwich social club has ever received such a request.
The Hollywood legend is slated to get top billing in “The Wedding,” a comedy scheduled for release in 2012 co-starring Diane Keaton and Katherine Heigl, who grew up in New Canaan.
The film’s director Justin Zackham and producer Clay Pecorin both went to Greenwich High School.
Zackham wrote and served as executive producer of “The Bucket List,” the seize-the-day comedic drama pairing Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
The filmmaking tandem already obtained authorization to shoot at several other locations in town such as a private home in the Stanwich neighborhood, which is already under way.
The movie crew is seeking an exemption from the town’s midnight-to-6 a.m. filming curfew to shoot a pool scene at the country club, which requires approval from the Board of Selectmen.
