I just came back from Mexicali and they were filming a (high production) movie as I drove into the city. Quite a few trucks and trailers were camped out in the entrance and I noticed a neon-type sign that read "50 50 Cantina" or something like that. I passed by too quick to read it.

On the way back into Calexico, they were filming on top of the steps as you enter the tunnel. It seemed like they had extras playing vendors, but I couldn't make out the rest of the scene.

Anyway, the movie they are filming is Bordertown (2005) with Jennifer Lopez and Antonio Banderas. The story takes place in Ciudad Juarez as a journalist is investigating various murders near maquiladoras.

Does anyone else have any info on this?

She's staying in the 1960s Cuban design influenced Hotel Del Norte, which is a walking distance from the port of entry.

Not.

...

Filming in Nogales, where a crew has already built a shantytown resembling Anapra, a Juarez neighborhood where many of the victims lived, will last at least a week and the production will then move to Mexicali, on the California border, according to newspaper reports.



I don't know if this is even more filming in Mexicali or if they're referring to last week's filming.
