Superman almost chose Twin Anchors as a movie location, as explained in today’s Tribune:
Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern in Lincoln Park was briefly under consideration for “Man of Steel” filming, according to co-owner Paul Tuzi. A film scout visited Twin Anchors in the spring looking for a bar where the movie could shoot a transaction involving a “shady person” in a dark corner booth.
“He said, ‘We need a bar for this scene. Have you guys ever thought about having a movie film here?’” Tuzi said. “I got a chuckle out of that.”
Why? Because it was only four years ago that another superhero film shot in Twin Anchors: “The Dark Knight.” And, before that, the 2000 romance “Return to Me,” starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver.
