On Monday, September 10, 2007, movie magic came to the Pedestrian Mall here at UB. Disney’s, “College Road Trip,” starring Martin Lawrence and Raven Simone, filmed several scenes in front of Carlson Hall. Due to the filming, students were redirected through Mandeville Hall in order to avoid interrupting filming.
The filming on campus caused students to flood towards Mandeville Hall in an attempt to watch some of the filming. The filming lasted approximately two hours.
This wasn’t the first time “College Road Trip” came to UB. “College Road Trip” was filmed during the summer break.
“College Road Trip” is about a girl (Simone) and her father (Lawrence) looking at colleges around the world. The film is due out March 7, 2008.
