Hints Of Belen

Bruce sends this. Arnold goes to New Mexico to help with his comeback:

The Belen High School football team and cheerleaders were also asked to be in the film. Jaramillo said $5,000 was donated to the high school, plus $500 was given to each of BHS' clubs.

...Herman Tabet, owner of Tabet Lumber and Concrete, Inc., said he wishes film crews would make these types of purchases two or three times a year.

Pat Trujillo, a clerk at Bethlehem Trading Post, said movie crews purchased everything from furniture to antiques for movie sets at their store.

Theresa Padilla, owner of Pete's Cafe, said the movie crew eats at the cafe on a regular basis, and Schwarzenegger has stopped by twice.

"When he came in, I was expecting a group, but I wasn't expecting him," Padilla said.
Movie personnel have also bought supplies from other businesses, including Through the Flower, Becker Street Pub, Adelante Bargain Square Thrift and Ranchero Builders Supply Co., said former mayor Ronnie Torres.

...The movie set contains business signs from Reydar's Barber Shop and Craig Tires, Inc., as well as historic Belen photographs, Torres said.

"They've incorporated a lot of the local community in the story line," Torres said, adding the high school mascot in the movie is an eagle like BHSs' mascot. "They want it to be as authentic as possible for Belen, even though (the town) isn't called Belen."

...The film, directed by Kim Jee Woon and produced by Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, details a small town sheriff, Schwarzenegger, and his inexperienced staff who find themselves standing between a fugitive cartel leader and the Mexican border, according to a Lionsgate news release.
