Robert De Niro & Bradley Cooper begin filming ‘Dark Fields’ in NYC & Philadelphia

Premiere Of New Line Cinema's Valentine's Day - Arrivals

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.

  1. “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.

    Christine-your send a tip field always gets hung up. That is why I posted here instead.

  2. Thanks for the tip, sorry if you weren’t able to leave it via tip line, you can always email me too, which you know. 🙂 Thanks again!!

    • Hey Christine – I coudln’t seem to submit this tip, either – but here you go!

      Signs for Dark fields on 8th ave bwetween 51 and 52, also on 51 and 52 between 8th and 9th for Thu, April 1 – just says 7AM, assuming that’s start time. Doesn’t say what time they will end.

  3. 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.

    • 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

  4. 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.

  5. […] 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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)

  8. Bradley is filming in my building today in Philadelphia today at 1818 Market Street, they are filming inside the Marathon Grill

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
