Sgt. Will Montgomery's apartment in the movie "The Messenger": Pics and Stories

I was living in this complex (Country Club Village) at the time of production. The crew actually shot a scene here with Ben Foster in full military dress walking down the thin access road parallel to the railroad tracks. It was the highest-profile scene shot at Country Club Village, as they did it during the day and had to rope off all the adjacent parking lots. That "walking" scene was never included in the movie or even any trailers, but I think I recall it being in the first teasers of the movie long before it was released. The scene itself seemed to serve no purpose plot-wise, but I guess it could have been a slo-mo walk scene similar to the Reservoir Dogs slo-mo walk towards the camera shot.
