Christian Bale is no stranger to Massachusetts film shoots. He co-starred in The Fighter, a movie based on Lowell boxer Mickey Ward.

Sara Berry from Wellesley visited a Natick set on Thursday in hopes of getting a glimpse of Jennifer Lawrence. "I love her, I think I would pretty much faint if I saw her," Berry said. 

Hundreds of area residents lined the streets around Reliable Cleaners and a nearby strip mall, but the stars largely kept themselves out of the public's view during the shooting. But here are some photos of Amy Adams and Christian Bale in their best '70s duds.

 

Are you planning to watch any of the area shoots? Does anyone have the patience to stand around during a movie shoot? Or are you just fine to wait til the movie comes out?
