Movie Producers Hope To Recreate Police Shootout In Watertown

(Associated Press)  - Producers of a Mark Wahlberg movie about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing want to recreate the police shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers in the Watertown neighborhood where it happened.

Representatives for ``Patriots Day'' sent fliers to residents of Laurel Street this month asking for their cooperation in obtaining permission to film on their street.

The flier says the project will include a week of preparation in late April and a week of nighttime filming in early May that could include loud noises like simulated gunfire. It also includes three days of cleanup.

The story was first reported by watertownmanews.com.

The confrontation on April 19, 2013, resulted in the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev  and injuries to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was later found hiding in a boat.
