Las Vegas ( CNN ) -- In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings , the cast and crew of a new Sandra Bullock-Melissa McCarthy comedy about Boston law enforcement want to show their appreciation for FBI agents and police with an advance screening of the film . `` The Heat , '' which hits theaters June 28 , was filmed in Boston with a lot of help from law enforcement there . Director Paul Feig said Thursday that he is arranging an advance screening to show support for the city . `` The movie is such a love letter to Boston , '' Feig said . `` A lot of our cast are Boston people , either born or raised . So we really would like to support that city . I love that city . '' Bullock plays an FBI agent who is sent to Boston to work on an investigation . `` It 's been an amazing tight-knit community before this happened , and it just bonded a community even more , '' Bullock said . `` I do n't think a screening would ever be enough , feel like it 's enough to do for them . '' McCarthy plays a Boston cop who clashes with Bullock 's character over jurisdiction . `` It 's a remarkable place , an amazing city that 's obviously going through a really tough situation , '' McCarthy said . `` I have a sweet spot for it now . '' The agents and police who are now busy with the bombing investigation gave the filmmakers `` so much help , '' Feig said . `` They are some of the finest people I 've ever worked with , '' he said . `` Boston is in good hands if they have to go through something like this . They are in the best hands possible . '' Bullock credits the film crew from Boston for working `` crazy hours '' with the `` last-minute film . '' `` Usually , there 's chaos and things fall apart , but because of them , it held together the way that it did , and I really feel like the reason this film got made in the way that it did is because of that group : the Bostonians . '' The screening idea is in its early stages , and no date has been set , Feig said .
