The 2024 Movie Filmed On Beacon's Main Street - "There She Goes" - Premiers May 2026 - Here Are The Shops Featured
/
The rom-com There She Goes staring Rachael Leigh Cook and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Pitch Perfect) that filmed on Beacon’s Main Street in 2024 is premiering Thursday May 28th, 2026 on FoxTV, as reported by The Wolf 97.7. If anyone knows how to watch FoxTV anymore, please do chime in in the comments! Would have turned it on if ALBB hadn’t cut cable, and hasn’t researched how to watch regular TV on a laptop or phone.
According to IMDB, the movie premise is: “Molly and Advay meet again twenty five years after being high school sweethearts. They seemed destined to be together forever, but it all ended when she rose to stardom in Hollywood as a teenage actress.”
Main Street Beacon is prominently featured in the trailer, and include former Reserva (now Estilo Y Vino Wine Bar), Play (toy store), Beetle and Fred (has since moved up the block a few blocks, replaced by the MOD clothing boutique), Notions n Potions and Hudson Beach Glass.
Watching this moment of the film be filmed in Beacon was a day ALBB will never forget. The day was so fun. It was one of the heights of the genocide in Palestine. ALBB was not publishing many feel-good stories. We were mainly publishing Palestinian news. There was no ounce of wanting to give anyone brunch recommendations or celebrity sightings. A few people began harassing us for it by sending anonymous boycott letters. It sucked, but we made it through.
On this day of filming the energy was buzzing as storefronts were anticipating the film crew possibly catching their storefronts. So ALBB went out for a viewing party with any of the stores. Being friends with Shyrl of Notions n Potions, ALBB went in there. Sitting in that witchy store on her velvet thrones was so fun. We were laughing the afternoon away. You can see what we saw here, where ALBB published it. At my encouragement (ALBB used to be married to a Location Manager, so I knew she had a good chance of getting paid), she even got paid for being a location because the actors accidentally ducked into her shop during a scene!
Sheryl and ALBB had first met at an old Beacon Chamber of Commerce meeting, where ALBB was helping them regain control of their website, and then redesign the website, which we accomplished for them (that Chamber is now defunct and they let the website die). In 2024, we reconnected when seeing each other in the ladies locker room at the gym when we finished our fitness routines. It was a joy seeing her.
The day after ALBB published about the filming of the movie There She Goes, Sheryl sent a DM, which killed the day, and makes it one we will never forget. She said: “Hello, I really cannot support your business because you openly support terrorism and terrorists. I have been Jewish all my life and have been persecuted for it in school and beyond. My family is also from Romanian descent so some were gypsies. You have NO idea what it is like to be a Jew! So you enjoy the life you deserve Katie!”
Receiving that DM sucked. Especially after sitting with Sheryl for so many hours that day. Forgetting about all of the sadness in the world for those moments.
Katie responded: “It’s taken you 8 months to say this?”
Sheryl said: “Yes, after we hung out it really started bothering me. I needed to say something.”
Katie thanked her for her honesty, and then published the DM to IG.
ALBB doesn’t know what it’s like being a Palestinian either. Neither a Christian Palestinian nor a Muslim Palestinian, but she watched enough killings of Palestinians by the Israeli IDF/IOF Occupation Army to know that it is systematic murder. ALBB also learned about Zionism and how it is conflated with Jewishness, which puts anti-Zionist Jews at risk of Zionism. ALBB was so sad after reading that from Sheryl. But glad to know where she stood. False safety is never ideal.
