New Haven Independent

Thurman (of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill fame) plays Diane McFee, a young woman “whose life is affected by a tragic event from her past,” says In Bloom location manager Michael Nickodem in a letter to city hall. Scenes in New Haven revolve around the fictional Briar Hill High School, where Diana’s life is “changed forever by a tragic school shooting.”

Cameras will first roll into town Aug. 21 to Westville’s Fountain Street for scenes inside and outside the Sheridan Middle School. There, a younger actress, Evan Rachel Wood will play Diana at age 16, joined by Eva Amurri (The Banger Sisters). For Uma sightings hang out on Chapel Street in late September (the 18th and 19th are tentative filming dates). In the proposed scene, Thurman buys ice cream at the Chapel Sweet Shoppe and visits her husband at his office in Yale’s Vanderbilt Hall. Crossing Chapel Street to see her husband, she gets hit — but not seriously injured — by a car. Real traffic will be “intermittently held” to accommodate the crash.
