IMPORTANT UPDATE: Monday’s shoot in Central Park was pushed back to Tuesday. But, signs were spotted near W 51st and 5th for Monday, 3.29.
Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper begin work on The Dark Fields Monday. In the thriller, Bradley Cooper stars as a struggling writer who takes a top-secret drug that has been dubbed Viagra for the brain. Robert De Niro co-stars as a mogul who is after Cooper’s character.
The Dark Fields will be shooting at Wollman Rink in Central Park on Monday, 3.29. But, there is also a rain date for Tuesday, 3.30. So, in the event of bad weather, the date will be pushed back to Tuesday.
Though filming kicks off in NYC, most of the movie will actually be shot in Philadelphia. They have already lined up Del Frisco’s Steakhouse at 15th & Chestnut in Philadelphia as a filming location. Filming at the restaurant is slated to take place sometime in May.
[Thanks Annie & @Joann0173]
Does anyone know if Abbie Cornish will be in NY as well? She is in the film too.
“The Good Wife” is filming on April 1st in Yonkers NY as per Yonkersrising.com at Alder Manor (formerly Elizabeth Seton) North Broadway @ Executive Blvd, and on Main Street at the Zuppa Restaurant near the waterfront. It did give shoot times, but it sounds like a full day and night company move from one location the other.

Ugly Betty (https://community.livejournal.com/uglybetty/682260.html) filming Wednesday, March 31 (6 am) in Jackson Heights!
Whats the address?
They’ve already started filming in Philly. They were filming on the 15th st. side of City Hall today. Couldn’t actually see anyone. The people working the set were really unpleasent.
Beth, that was the NBC Pilot Justice. They been around city hall a few days now
Filming will continue on Wednesday in Union Square. Signs are posted.
Thanks Beth and JB for the info!!
Anybody know what time they might be at Central Park tomorrow?
Since its raining they wont do Central Park. They might be filming at 5th ave and 51st so I’ll drop by there at about 1-2PM

(Thanks @iPhillyChitChat)
I just came back from there and they are filming indoors. Most likely will get out between 4pm and 5pm and head to the Letherman…well at least according to a UPS guy.
[…] Some big celebs are slated to film a scene in Central Park tomorrow, as long as the weather holds out. The Dark Fields, an upcoming film starring Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper, was scheduled to film at Wollman Rink in Central Park (near Sixth Avenue and Central Park South) today, but the filming was pushed to tomorrow due to rain. The film centers on a down-and-out New York writer (Cooper) who comes into possession of a designer drug that gives him newfound intelligence and success. De Niro will play a brilliant financial mogul who is after Cooper’s character. Despite the current filming plans, it is still unclear whether the Wollman Rink filming will definitely occur, as rain is also in the forecast for tomorrow. Thanks to On Location Vacations for the info. […]
Can anyone please confirm if they see a trailer for Robert De Niro or see De Niro on the set for the Dark Fields this week. I am planning on checking out the location in Union Square on Wednesday night or the uptown location on Thursday and I’d rather not go unless he is there. Please keep a look out as far as I know it’s just Bradley Cooper’s scenes, but I can be wrong.
Im heading to the Central Park scene tomorrow so I will make sure to be on the look out.
Awesome, be careful if you are going for autographs, rain ruins photos. I noticed that the 2 trailers I saw on set today were for Eddie (Bradley Cooper) and Lindy. I don’t know what De Niro’s name is in the film he is listed as Gennady on imdb but so is another actor.
I’m not really going there to get Autographs, but to shoot them (with my camera…I hope I don’t get stopped tomorrow lol)
Do you work for a company or are you freelance? I know a guy that is hiring photographers in NYC and he pays well, that’s why I ask.
I’m freelance. E-mail me (jaszewskim@gmail.com) some more info.
What type of work is he looking for ? for the guy hiring photographers?
Photographers for send pictures for a guy that sends it to wire image and his website. He wants mostly Letterman. He is based out of L.A. so he wants a crew in NYC. Send me your email address if you are interested.

Who do you shoot for? I’m headed there wednesday , my guess it probably gets pushed to wednesday for the central park part. Also be around thursday. Not going to bother for tomorrow
Could you also look out if Abbie Cornish is on set too? Please….
My gut says that the trailer marked Lindy might be for Abbie Cornish. Someone needs to find out, her character’s name isn’t listed anywhere.
Yea all I know is that she has the lead female role. Well I will be in the city Thursday but not at 7am!
According to their web site, Wollman Rink will be closed on Wednesday 3/31 for a film shoot. Is it possible this scene got moved from tomorrow to Wednesday? (especially since it’s supposed to rain again tomorrow)
Damn, that would suck.
They’re in Union Square right now!
Bradley is filming in my building today in Philadelphia today at 1818 Market Street, they are filming inside the Marathon Grill
thanks for the update!
Just saw bradley cooper at city hall on the 15th at city hall. They took him away in a black blazer.
Was going to scream hang over is the bomb but didn’t have the balls.
hmm. This is the movie they’ve been filming around my school lately. Saw some NYC cop cars and taxis. I heard earlier that Robert De Niro was filming and so was Cooper… didn’t see that they were filming in the same movie.
Saw a lot of filming in Puerto Vallarta last week 6/23, 2010 for the Dark Fields. Three different car scenes on the Malecon boardwalk behind our condominium. They were changing location to Conchas Chinas as well later in the week.
