  2. -Heard that Curb Your Enthusiasm has been filming in studio (I think they are at Silvercup in Long Island City) and that is why we haven’t seen much of them around NYC.
    -Detachment might be back at Mineola High School but I’m not sure…

  5. LOL is still at Grosse Pointe South High School but filming didnt start until after 9:30am and ended around 5:45pm.
    BE WARNED— those who are going to try and see if Miley Cyrus will come over and sign an autograph or take a picture will b upset. SHE NEVER even shows a sign she even notices her fans. I waited from 9:30am to 5:45 (end of filming) and never once dd she wave or say hello let alone walk over and meet the hand full of people that were waiting. And any chance of getting close to her is slim to none. She is driven from her trailer to the fliming spot which is like a step and security is very protective of her only.
    Very disappointing. I have lost a lot of respect for her because she couldnt even wave to her fans which mosty were very young.
    She seemed to be trying to stay away from everyone.

    • hi ashly-

      miley is always like that, unfortunately. how close were you to the trailers? is it possible to get a shot? what about demi moore- did you see her on set?

  6. A note again on the Premium Rush filming: Yes, the crews are parked on 114th street, but the actual filming appears to be taking place on the Columbia University Campus, mostly near the Journalism school building.

    • Premium rush second location: Trailers on 56th betw 7th & B’way were set up last night (Wed). Craft services set up this morning on 56th betw B’way & 8th.

  7. I went to check out GG today and it was really pointless. I was waiting outside their trailers and then the hotel and all i saw was a glimpse of Penn Bagdley and thats it for the day. Really disappointing don’t recommend going to this location..

    • Do you think it would be a good idea to go at the beginning/end of filming? :/ when I was there earlier today there were a lot of girls/tourists there and it seemed impossible to meet anyone…. But yeah, I only saw Ed walking out of the hotel….

      Might try again tomorrow.

      • best thing is to go early, they will take photo with you if there is not much of girls wondering around. i got pictures with Penn, Blake and Leighton when they got out from the hotel around 9pm, not many girls were there. only 4 of us. penn was really nice and i think he said, he and blake have two scenes tomorrow and everyone will be there when i ask about Ed and Leighton. just linger around the area. they will come out. rehearsal, actual shoot, lunch and stuff. in and out of the hotel and trailers.

        • Hi Amanda,

          Thanks for the tips.But I’m a little confused cause you said to go early and then you said you got pictures at 9pm?? Btw I came yesterday around 8pm and it seems like they were already done for the day.Of course it’s not easy to figure if the’re still shooting or not since it was an interior.But outside not even crews waiting…Let me know if they were still shooting around 8pm.Thanks!

        • this is such a lie. no offense, they left the hotel before 9 and I was there. You should have gone early if you go later there will be a bunch of foreign girls running around and you’ll only get a pic.

          • thats the point, everyone thinks its done but its not. they left 9pm. i went early i got a picture with penn and blake. 9pm i got a pic with Leighton and Penn again.well,if u think i am lying.up to u.

              • OK. I was there until 9 b/c I was having an in dept conversation with the guards and I literally watched them clean out the trailers, which were empty. I watched blake and Penn ride away with some blonde guy. I was there at 9 so I think it’s a bit weird you are giving out wrong info.

                Anyways, leighton left earlier in the day. She was there at 3 but was gone by 5:30 (I had to go to work but she was there when I was there and not when I came back). You can tell b/c her trailer was broken down already ie the stairs weren’t there. they are suppose to be shooting in the lobby today btw.

                    • I’m trying to backtrack. Obviously yesterday may be different than today but Chase walked out at maybe 6:30-7. Then Penn 7-7:30 and blake like 20 minutes after Penn. I’m sorry to be so vague, I wasn’t looking at my clock (for obvious reasons) I just remember it was all over like 8-8:15. I had to meet my friend at 9:30 and I left at 9:10. I remember talking with the guard for at least 45 mins to an hour. hope that helps

                    • Thanks NC. I understand, it’s hard to know the exactly hour they left. Penn and Blake left together after they both went out of the hotel?

        • Hi GGfan,

          How can we be sure that they’re still filming at that time?Because of course waiting without knowing if they’re still in the hotel would be frustrating :))

          • you just have to ask around. going to busy locations like this one is sometimes pointless. when there are a lot of people there and obnoxious girls screaming and yelling, the actors wont stop. i have gotten a picture with every cast member just by being patient and relaxed. i would suggest either go really early in the morning, or late at night. usually, the crew will help you out and tell you when they’re coming out or done filming. ask around, but don’t be obnoxious or they will not help you.

            • That makes sense! But when I showed up around 8pm there were only a couple of tourists in front of the hotel and no crew members outside, trailers were dark…To sum up there were no way of knowing if they were still shooting that’s why I figure it was pointless to stay!

  9. Scream 4 filmed yesterday from around 7pm. Most was inside, but the actors were in and out and we saw Marielle, Hayden and Emma several times. The longest shoot was in an upstairs room–Hayden on the phone pacing back and forth–and there was a good view from the street. Small crowds, mostly neighborhood folk watching. No idea what the schedule is today, but the pattern is late afternoon through early morning. The actors seem to be having a lot of fun, the crew and security are friendly. The mosquitoes SUCK. Literally!

  10. Jennifer-
    The trailers were in the parking lot and the security guards kept u across the street, it is possible to get a shot if she is walking but if u will b trying to get a glimpse of her by her own trailer its impossible because the line to trucks up so u cant c in. Also if they r filming outside like they did yesterday u can see her from a distance but not close up. They also have a certain amount of the side walk cleared off which makes it difficult to see her but it is possible.
    No demi moore was not on set. U would kno if she is on set bc she has a silver pick up that drives her from her trailer to the set. Just like miley has a white seburban truck.
    Dont waste ur time on miley. She doesnt care about her fans!

    • Thanks a ton Ashly-

      Really helpful info! Not really going for Miley, just need to get a few shots of the film set. If you find out if they’ll also be outside tomorrow (Fri), I’m going to head down there and try and get some shots. If you’re going to be around, let me know!!

  11. I woke up today and saw way too many trucks and trailers. Didn’t know what’s going on but found out now they’re shooting blue bloods. Will have to see if I sight anyone!

  12. There is something filming on Rt 51 in pleasant hills, PA. There was a lot of movie lights and trailers across from primanti brothers by kmart.

    Thinking it might be One For The Money with Katherine Heigl but I don’t know for sure, can anyone confirm?

  14. Thanks for all the tips & info today, my inet sucks here so the more info you guys can leave in comments, I’d appreciate it, it takes forever to get into my email and check it, thanks again!!

    Here are a couple more:

    –GEP signs by the boulevard park in north Vancouver

    –Yesterday evening I saw signs on Columbus Avenue, between West 89th and West 88th Streets, saying that Premium Rush would be filming there on Thursday.

  15. more on Real Steal:
    Real Steel is filming in the RenCen tonight. There are banners and signs up to make the 200 tower bridges to the central circulation ring appear to be the concourse of a boxing arena. The slogan on one banner reads: “Human is not enough”

  16. Does anyone know if SVU is on location or in studio for tomorrow, Friday. And is tomorrow Mariska’s day off? Thanks in advance! I am just curious as I will come down from upstate if they are filming.

  17. Regarding filming in Brea, CA. Could that sign be for Larry Crowne? I could have sworn that was what they were using…but I thought it had wrapped?

    Could be reshoots though, right?

  18. Can someone give directions to were bridal shop is in brea. I want to check it out it sounds like larry crown bc thats the sign they were using.

  19. The filming in brea I noticed them last night and I called the place today and they are working. So I don’t they are filming right now, maybe again tonight though. It’s the Alfred Angelo Bridal Shop and the base camp was across the street at the Brea Mall

  21. Large set at fanklin and highland in hollywood at the methodist church does anyone know what this is? Set signs say BL. Base camp takes up the whole parking lot and filming is inside church.

  24. Did somebody go to GG set yet? let us know about who’s on the set….thanks .To “xoxoxgg” =>> no they never (rarely) shoot on Friday

  26. i know that gossip girl usually film on friday. ive been a couple of times. I know that they usually/sometimes film in studio on friday. They dont film on the weekends.

    so if there are any updates please update them ASAP

  28. I just got back from Mineola High School, they’re still filming as I type this. I didn’t get to see the set or the actors, but I hung around the crew in the hallways and got some pictures of the actors chairs and an extra. Also, they’re definitely filming again tomorrow either at the high school or the middle school because I heard a set dresser talking about replacing the school sign with the fictional school name from the film. And Adrien and Christina are definitely there, the crew was tallking about a certain shot down the hallway with the two of them.

    • Thanks for the info. I was there this afternoon too and drove by a couple of times but didn’t really see anything or anyone and didn’t have enough time to check it out further — heard caan was there yesterday.

  29. i was at empire hotel earlier this afternoon from 11am – 4plus
    and i all got to see was Leighton.
    Gosh I would love to seee Ed.. 🙁

  30. hey guys!! where is gossip girl filming tomorrow, Friday August 13th???!!! thanks! christine if you know that would be a great help too! thanks everyone!!

  31. So I just got back from the Empire Hotel and about an hour ago, I was lucky enough to meet Chace! 🙂 Gosh, people here are so nice ahah. Anyways I had stayed for an extra 20-30 min to walk around the hotel/building/block – whatever you call it and left around 8:20ish… Seemed like they had really finished filming since they were cleaning everything up and stuff! TY onlocationvacations 🙂

    Side Note: Does anyone know what time Premium Rushed finished on Broadway and 55th/56th? I checked around 7:20 PM and there were no signs or trailers or anything there… Hoping to try tomorrow before I leave NYC. :/

  35. Emily, I was also there about an hour ago, but didn’t see any of the cast, just 2 trailers. Were you able to take a picture with Chace?:)

    • hey andy,
      it depends on where he has to go and if he is tired or not. always try though its completely worth it. i got a picture with chace the other day!!

    • Hey Andy! Like Kara said, it really seems to depend on his mood and stuff. We got lucky and security let us take a picture with him since it was just me and 4/5 other girls.

      • Hi Emily
        Sorry to sound suspicious but I was there around 8 and they were already wrapped up.Some crew members were packing up cameras and other stuff in the truck.Then the trailers left one by one.I stayed in front of the hotel until 9pm and I did not see anything…Apparently they left around 7pm.Feel free to post your pics

  36. No problem Kathy, Liu and danner were there yesterday too, my uncle works for the district and he got to drive a school bus for one of the shots the other day and afterwords he stood next to caan who exclaimed “it’s too damn hot!”

    Also, they will be at the Mineola Middle School all next week, and I’ll be there the full day on Thursday for updates

  37. Hey Kara, you’re so lucky!!! 🙂 I wish I’ll be as lucky as you and the others are the next time I see them. ‘Cos that’s it, I always just SEE them, never had the chance to take a picture WITH any of them! 🙁 But anyhoo, thanks so much for the encouragement! 🙂

  38. Hey Emily, good for you! Well, I’m actually already happy just to see them, but of course it would be waaaay better to have the same luck that you had! 🙂

    • Thanks Andy!! If you live in NYC then I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunities! I leave tomorrow so I was really determined to somehow meet a castmember! Good luck 🙂

  39. Hi Blair, yeah when I had arrived there it was around 7:30 or so, I honestly don’t remember bc I wasn’t really checking the time but anyways when I had arrived, yes, they were wrapping up. Chace exited from the back and walked to his trailer across the street so that’s why I assume you did not see him – this occurred around 8:45-8:55 I’m not entirely sure. And as for a picture I don’t believe it would be fair to share bc it was a group pic with 4-5 other girls I had just met y-day and I don’t think they would want me to post it without their consent or permission :/
