"Elle"

Prep for a shoot at the Dome. Thanks to Corky Baines for sharing this shot and the one below in a May 2, 2025 Facebook post.  He notes that a grip friend sent them along. 

 

Ben Steinberg researched it and determined that the shoot was for the TV series "Elle" (MGM Amazon, 2025). The series is a prequel to "Legally Blonde," following Elle Woods through earlier adventures in her life. Reese Witherspoon's company Hello Sunshine is one of the producers. Lexi Mintree stars. Directors vary, depending on the episode.

 

Fixing up the display cases. The time is 1995. The poster on the left is for "Hackers." Todd Zaganiacz comments: "The other two are 'Get Shorty' and 'Fluke.' All MGM movies."

 

 

 

 

Thanks to Ben Steinberg for spotting this May 2 shot. He's the curator of the Save the Cinerama Dome Facebook page. Note the signage up for David Fincher's 1995 film "Seven." It didn't play the Dome.
