‘West Ham let us shoot at Upton Park. We gave them a clean version of the script’: The making of Green Street
Green Street is a film American golfer Billy Horschel has watched more than 30 times. ‘I always wanted to make a film like Green Street because I grew up in a firm’ Dougie Brimson, one of the screenplay’s writers, is recalling his first encounter with Alexander. Wood, middle, with the cast at a West Ham game in 2004 “What’s funny is how Lexi talked West Ham into letting us shoot the film at Upton Park,” she says. Lexi just transformed into Wonder Woman and leapt towards that guy to scare him off and protect the PA. Then all the hooligans on set came running in to protect her.” ‘They’re selling tickets outside because the guy at the door keeps saying the actor from Green Street is here’ Green Street won several awards, including Best Feature at the LA Femme Film Festival and the Special Jury Award and Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival, both in 2005. “I would be somewhere speaking about a completely different film and some kid aged around 18 to 25 will get up and shout, ‘I love Green Street!’ And that happens constantly.
