According to publicist Alex Worman in an email sent to Sudbury Patch, the driving plans changed. "We completed our driving scenes in the Lincoln area," he said. Sudbury Police Lt. Scott Nix said he received a call from the crew at about 2-2:15 p.m. saying the plans were "a no-go." "They never showed up…
