MATT DRISCOLL: STRAIGHT TO DVD >>>975185031_7f27918e52

There’s some action scheduled to go down at the Post Office in downtown Tacoma over the  next week or so â€" or, more accurately, the old courthouse above the Post Office.

The New Tacoma Neighborhood Council sent out an update today, letting it be known that a film permit has been issued for a movie scheduled to shoot in the old courthouse between Monday, Oct. 13 and Wednesday, Oct. 22. From what we here at Weekly Volcano World Headquarter understand, they’ve already started moving in the props for next week’s action.

However, the New Tacoma Neighborhood Council release doesn’t give many clues as to what movie is being shot. Luckily, we’ve done some digging.

Apparently, it’s what knows as a “major, low budget feature.” We assume that means it’s a smaller film being put together by major players, not necessarily that the film has a majorly low budget â€" but who knows.

Anyway, the movie will be called The Whole Truth, and it stars Elisabeth Rohm (better known as that chick form Law and Order), along with Rick Overton, Sean Flanery (Powder, bitches!), John Fuglesang, and Tin Tin the Dog.

Here’s how the movie’s Web site describes the forthcoming project:

A greedy, high living acting coach transforms disgusting criminals to appeal to juries, until she overhears a client she helped set free plan a heinous crime - and becomes his target for murder. Escaping death and finding who she really is becomes the most expensive - and rewarding experience of her life.

And did I mention it stars Tin Tin the Dog?

So, if you see a bunch of C-list actors milling around the Post Office downtown over the next week or so, it probably has something to do with The Whole Truth.

Is it too early to start some Oscar buzz?
