Watertown Declines Request From Film Producers

Producers of a Mark Wahlberg movie about the deadly Boston Marathon bombing won't be recreating the police shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers in the neighborhood where it happened.

Watertown Town Manager Michael Driscoll says it was decided filming the scene for "Patriots Day" on those streets wouldn't be in the town's best interest. He said Friday producers will be choosing another location.

The April 2013 confrontation resulted in the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev . Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was caught, tried and sentenced to death.

Producers also have asked for permission to film at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was attending.

A university spokesman tells WBSM News, officials want to ask students and other stakeholders before deciding. (Associated Press)
