Rachel and her co-stars Mark Ruffalo and John Slattery attended a Red Sox game in Boston for “Spotlight” yesterday. Rachel was also spotted filming on various locations in Boston. We have added photos of Rachel on set of the movie our gallery, thanks to my friend Claudia. Boston Globe is reporting that some members of the real-life Spotlight team will make a cameo in the movie.

The cast, which includes Liev Schreiber as then-Globe editor Marty Baron, Michael Keaton as Globe reporter-editor Walter V. Robinson, Rachel McAdams as former Globe reporter Sacha Pfeiffer, and Stanley Tucci as Mitchell Garabedian, the lawyer who represented several of the victims.

The real-life reporters and editors are expected to have cameos in the film, and several were invited to sit in the stands during the scene at Fenway. (In the movie, Thursday’s game takes place in July so extras were asked to wear Red Sox T-shirts or “muted tones, casual summer and nothing that has a year later than 2001.”)

“Spotlight” will continue to film in Boston until next week before heading to Toronto. The production is expected to wrap up early November. Reporter Sacha Pfeiffer, who Rachel will portray in the movie, shared some amazing on set photos on her official twitter account including one of Rachel which can be found behind the jump.
