Matt Dillon is the sexist sleazeball in Hollywood. Figures that he’d shoot a film in a dive bar on Haines Road in Pinellas Park. For his upcoming movie Sunlight Jr., Dillon and Naomi Watts filmed parts of the film at the seedier-than-thou Boardwalk Tavern. Johnny Vitale worked as art director on the project, set to come out sometime in 2012 or early 2013.
