Richard Gere is scheduled to wrap up his filming today for Hachiko: A Dog’s Story at the downtown railway station where the movie has been shooting for two weeks...

...Next Monday and Tuesday the movie crew is scheduled to move to the University of Rhode Island campus in Kingston to shoot scenes with Parker teaching his class.

Johnson called making Hachiko in Rhode Island “a good experience.” So much so that he said his company is putting together a film fund to finance “18 movies that will be made over a three-year period in Rhode Island,” possibly beginning as early as later this year.

For the moment, however, there’s Hachiko, which is scheduled to complete production on its winter scenes at the end of the first week of March. But Johnson said that the movie crew will be back at the end of June to shoot scenes that are set in the spring.
