Sandler film no parking problem

By Tom Harshbarger

To accommodate the filming of Adam Sandler's latest film at The Pyramid, 500 parking spaces in Lot 11 will be closed to public use through Friday, Parking and Transportation Services said Monday.

The spaces in the northeast corner of Lot 11, near Atherton Street and Palo Verde Avenue, are normally not used during this time of the semester, said Thomas Bass, parking service spokesman.

"We are not displacing any students because of this," Bass said. "Most of the shooting will be in the evenings between 2 and 9, so we don't expect any traffic problems."

In "Little Nicky," to be released in November, the devil's son (Sandler) doesn't want to take over the family business.
Warner Bros. will also bus in about 3,000 extras a day, and another 500 to 700 extras will receive temporary parking permits, Bass said.

University Police will take care of the security arrangements, such as ensuring the safety of the film crews, actors and general public, said Lt. Stan Skipworth, the officer in charge of security. Police will also watch over crowds and equipment.

"It's all currently in the planning stages," Skipworth said. "We are working with the production company to meet not only their needs, but the university's as well."
