I liked this film BUT...

I did not like the way security handled the people in the small town of Emporium during the making of this film.Google Unstoppable Emporium, Pa. Go to comments that were written by various people from that town.

Emporium is a small town in Pa not close to any big cities. There are no movie stars or celebs that live there. So,when the residents of Emporium found out that a movie was going to be filmed there, naturally it was a pretty big deal... especially knowing that Denzel was going to be there.

Residents of all ages came out to watch. Understandably residents watching the filming had to stand a long distance away.

It's ironic that part of this movie had to do with a class of children going on a field trip riding on a train, yet when Emporium's children took their camera out to take a few pictures, they were met with very harsh words from security. Fact is, any pictures they would have taken would have been taken from a very far distance from the action. So far in fact, that those in attendance could barely make out what was happening... if at all! Here is a report from the Bradford Era newspaper. Instead of naming a persons name, I have put "***".

What should have been the most exciting day of their lives turned out to be the most disappointing for a group of high school yearbook students from Cameron County High School on Friday. The students had been promised a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the feature film "Unstoppable," but the publicist never appeared and the students were left standing in a hot parking lot for hours. Even taking out a small cell phone camera brought down the wrath of security. The students were told to put it away immediately.

During filming on Friday morning, Route 120 was closed down on the outskirts of Emporium to allow for scenes to be shot on the railroad tracks. Security was tight and excited fans and on-lookers were kept at a distance for the entire day. "****", 17, is a member of the Cameron County High School yearbook who was excited about being near the film. "We are here to get pictures for the yearbook because we are making a page about it because it is being made in Emporium. We've been here since 10 a.m. They don't really do much when they say they are filming," she said. "I think it's exciting, but it's kind of long and boring. Security is bad, they are meanies," said "****", editor of the Cameron County High School yearbook said. "We are kind of upset about that." "****" explained they were invited to the set by a production publicist, but when they arrived, they were told she wasn't available or even on set. "We even brought her a gift," "****" said. "We got all excited for a letdown," echoed "****", another yearbook staff member. "It would be fun to watch if I could see it, but you can't get around anywhere." Another disappointed fan was "****", 57. She arrived in her mechanical wheelchair, hoping to snap a few photos for her scrapbook, but security quickly ended that hope. "To me, Denzel Washington is a star because we go to his movies. We buy his videos and DVDs. If it wasn't for us, the public, where would he be?" she asked. "I came down for curiosity just to be able to say 'I saw a few scenes shot' when I do see the movie. I have some relatives in the movie as extras," "****" said. "What we thought would be a nice thing to be in Cameron County has turned into a big disappointment. I just think it's a shame." "I took a day's vacation from work, so I could witness a little bit of history in the making as Emporium is immortalized in celluloid," said "****", a lifelong Emporium resident. "I have only seen two scenes so far and I pulled into the parking lot at 8:55 a.m.," he said, explaining that was four hours before he spoke to a reporter.

So... I'm not sure if anyone involved in the making of this film will read this, but if they do, PLEASE get your act together and treat people of small towns with decency and respect when they graciously ALLOW you to film there. If it weren't for the people who are fans... you would NOT have a job!
