Royals in Films

by Snowball » 02 Aug 2011 17:30

Just watched "Hereafter" (Matt Damon film)


He's sitting in a London hotel and TV soccer is on.


I think it was Wolves Reading with Steve Hunt jogging away from the goal.

Anyone confirm?

If you say that's what you were doing, that's good enough for me.

Reading v Wolves play off semi final in Mr and Mrs Smith when they are in a bar.

Also in Scrubs when, again, they are in a bar and a Reading match is on in the background, can't remember which game though.

Ok it's not in a Film, but there is a Hard-Fi video, with Reading in it.

I remember the Scrubs episode and think it was also the Wolves play-off. It's probably the stock Hollywood footage of proper football.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0RVM5bUAm0 Just over a minute in - you can't really tell which game it is, it's just a shot of people celebrating in the East stand. Still a massively random choice to use that as an establishing shot in a US sitcom!

Lucky I like the song, otherwise waiting 2:35 minutes could've been painful :wink:

Definitely not. It's someone - not us - at home to Cambridge (there's a tiny hint in the commentary).

Re the Mr and Mrs Smith one - I remember seeing a film where I thought I'd caught a glimpse of Reading v Wolves in the background, but on closer inspection it was actually QPR. But I can't remember which film. And watching Mr and Mrs Smith once is as many times as I am ever going to manage.
