Sarah Jessica Parker's HBO pilot to film in Baltimore
An HBO pilot for a comedy series about three young women working on Washington's Capitol Hill will be filmed in and around Baltimore in coming weeks, according to Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
The pilot for a proposed series to be titled The Washingtonienne will be executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker and will star Rachel Taylor (Transformers), Amanda Walsh (Disturbia) and Bitsie Tulloch (Quarterlife).
Parker was on campus Friday at Maryland Institute College Art "scouting locations for the show," according to Kathleen Murray, a spokeswoman for the school.
“Maryland has enjoyed a long, successful relationship with HBO and we look forward to welcoming them back and ensuring their filming experience here continues to be a positive one,” O’Malley said in a statement touting the state's role in bringing the production to the area.
“We are hopeful the pilot will take off and become a series, giving Maryland the opportunity to host yet another successful TV show.”
Several HBO productions have been filmed in Maryland, including the made-for-TV movies Shot in the Heart and Something the Lord Made, as well as the mini-series The Corner and weekly series The Wire.
A decision on whether or not HBO will commit to more than just the one episode will be based on the pilot.

Since so much stuff gets filmed here, they might as well call Baltimore the "Hollywood of the Atlantic."
John Waters, Barry Levinson, The Wire, just a few examples.
