I received a phone call several months ago
enquiring about guest rooms that might be
needed for a little picture produced by
Twentieth Century Fox, "Gulliver's Travels"
staring Jack Black. I was told they were
presently in England where almost all the
film was to be shot, but were going to finish
in Ventura Harbor, as they would substitute
our area for Bermuda.
What began as a small room block blew up
into over 500 room nights and the
single largest group booking of my career!
As a bonus, the hotel was unexpectedly
made over to resemble the airport in
Bermuda. It was a great "Hollywood moment"
- one of those gems where you get caught
thinking, "I get paid to do this? !".
Everyone involved with the production was
most gracious and Jack was especially
accommodating when it came to picture
taking with staff. Planned release is Summer
or Christmas 2010
