The Mark Wahlberg film will feature Saturday's concert on the Esplanade.
Five thousand extras showed up to get their 15 minutes of fame (that's 75,000 minutes!) at the Charles River Esplanade Hatch Shell Saturday night.
The scene, a Norah Jones summer concert, will be featured in Mark Wahlberg's new comedy, Ted. Walhberg plays an average Bostonian who wishes for his teddy bear to come to life - only the bear turns into a foul-mouthed drunkard. Raucous fun ensues...
The film also stars's Black Swan's Mila Kunis, and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane makes his directorial debut.

But there’s plenty of hot projects on the way for both Walhberg and DiCaprio. Wahlberg will star in the Seth McFarlane-directed comedy “Ted” and the the upcoming thriller “Contraband,” while DiCaprio, recently named the highest paid actor in Hollywood, heads Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar” bio-pic opening in the fall. http://bit.ly/p7BgoV
