Click on the video clip below to view part of the filming of the recently released movie, “The Town.” It’s a brief stunt where the robbers, dressed as nuns, torched a getaway van before heading into a 2nd getaway vehicle. The torch scene took place on Foster St., and the video was shot from inside the Foster St. parking lot. Jeremy Renner is standing to our right and was one of many people associated with the film. Thanks to David Marx for sending this great clip.
