  3. Machine Gun Preacher started filming on July 6th at Schoolcraft Community College in Garden City, Mi. Later the same day they moved to Stockdale’s Bar on Michigan Ave. where they converted the back of the bar into a Makeshift Pawn shop. And on July 7th they started filming early in the morning at Red Holman’s Chevy Dealership.

  4. The Beaver is reshooting at Bridge & Wiloby street in Brooklyn. It is a graduation scene. If you spot a Steak Hache police car down in the wall street area, this is for a French Mc Donalds commercial.

      • Weird, since the casting call for today said they were shooting in White Plains and this came directly from their website, not a general casting notice. Maybe they are shooting in 2 places.

    • Has anyone seen Mel Gibson or Jodie Foster on set? Are they still shooting and will they be shooting this late at night?

      • I got there around 4:30pm. Didn’t see any trailers on the set, that area is ridiculous. Driving is terrible there and so is walking. All I saw was signs pointing to the set but when you get there nothing is going on.

        • If you did not get there before 2 p.m. you were too late. They did three reshoot scenes in a nearby LIU Building. It was four blocks away. Once they broke for lunch around 3:30 p.m. everything went to Steiner studios. Jodi Foster was on set directing in the morning and was in a scene at the studio. Mel Gibson was not scheduled to be there today. This was the last day of shooting and then they wrapped.

  5. Is Curb going to be filming there all day? And, is Larry David going to be there by any chance? Been trying to get there all week & it’s finally close to my office

  6. Signs on 24th between 9th and 10th ave for a project titled “My Idiot Brother” by production company goathead or goat(something), i forgot the name. Does anyone know what this is?

  7. Any idea on shooting times for “The Good Guys?” It rained here this morning and wondering if they packed up for the day or will wait it out.

  8. their working on jakes crossroads bar right now, there’s a couple of guys that have been working on the inside for the past hour or so

  9. They’re setting up at Jake’s Crossroads Bar & Grill in Melvindale right now. They’re also unloading some furniture in the trailer they’ll be filming at. Not sure if they’re going to start filming later today, or just start filming tomorrow.

    • It’s starting to rain here right now and I think we’re supposed to be getting storms all night. Looks like they will be filming tomorrow in Melvindale.

        • Don’t worry, I will. We’re supposed to get thunderstorms today, so I have no idea if they will film today or tomorrow (it’s going to be sunny and warm tomorrow). I do know that they’re still setting up.

  10. FYI – Talked to the security guard at the base camp of “The Good Guys” who told me NBC will be shooting a new show called “Chase” in Dallas beginning in about two weeks. The show is about a female federal marshal and is storied in Houston, but the filming will be done in Dallas.

    • Thanks for the update, they’ve been doing a little filming in L.A. too where they filmed the pilot, let us know fi you catch them filming around Dallas, that show looks like it will be kind of good.

  11. The Help is filming in and around Jackson, Miss.

    Allison Janney and Emma Stone were spotted in Greenwood on Wednesday.

  12. Looks like shooting wrapped up for Harold and Kumar over on Burning Bush in Bloomfield, Mi. They were cleaning up the house that was fully decorated for Christmas this afternoon. Any idea where the next location is?

  13. Does anyone know where Arthur is filming Friday?
    Also saw a film set in the East Village, Around 9th street and 1st. Permit said Film Shoot bit didnt recognize anyone, although large set!

  14. I was just on the phone with my brother as he was driving by the Hearthside Trailer Park in Melvindale, MI where Gerard Butler is filming Machine Gun Preacher today. Just thought I’d share that they were filming this morning.

  15. hi! just a lil confuse about the strike out on the “machine gun preacher” shooting in melvindale info bcuz they were indeed shooting in melvindale today. i passed by the trailor location mentioned and i saw all the film
