TUALATIN — A little Hollywood glamour has come to Oregon, and last weekend that glamour found itself roosting in a hot, dusty rock quarry that looked eerily like the set of a cheap science fiction movie.

But the movie that brought stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Tilda Swinton, Keanu Reeves and Benjamin Bratt to Oregon is “Thumbsucker,” a wry coming-of-age story adapted from the Walter Kirn book about a teenager with an oral fixation. The film completes seven weeks of Oregon location work this weekend.

Reeves, who was in town for four days, plays the kindly orthodontist who hypnotizes Pucci to stop his thumbsucking, which only sends him off on new fixations. Vince Vaughn plays his debate coach, and Bratt is a TV announcer whom Audrey fancies.

Although Pucci is a newcomer to film, he has plenty of fans on this set.

“He’s so way ahead of any actor I’ve met for his age,” D’Onofrio said.

“From the very first day of improv, he was neck and neck with me.”

“Honestly, Lou is a total gift from God that came on the last day of casting,” said Mills, who auditioned 150 teenagers.

“There are a lot of people who are good at pretending to be this or that; Lou is this magical little chameleon.”

Pucci also is up for a role in “Constantine,” another Reeves project.

“I love Keanu Reeves so much, I wish I could do more with him,” Pucci said.
