Filming in New York City, NY:

The Onion Sports Network, a new Comedy Central show, is filming around Surf Ave and W 19th in Brooklyn. According to a recent press release for the show, “it will take on the whole universe of modern sports – teams, players, leagues, sycophantic fans, ridiculous products and over-hyped coverage – with an eye towards appealing to sports fanatics and more casual fans, as well as long-time followers of The Onion and The Onion News Network.”

Running Wilde is filming at the Sands Point Preserve in Port Washington,  NY. There has been speculation recently that Fox is going to cancel Running Wilde due to poor ratings so if you like the show (like we do) make sure you’re tuning it!

The Sitter, starring Jonah Hill, is filming around West St and Milton St in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. There are signs in Greenpoiont for filming throughout the weekend so it sounds like they will continue to be in this area through Sunday evening.

Update: Sounds like they are actually filming in DUMBO this weekend, check back for details Sat. AM!

Are We There Yet? , the TBS series, is filming in studio (300 Stillwater, Stamford, CT).

Blue Bloods is filming in studio (Stage 8, Calyer & Jewel, Brooklyn, & in the evening, they will be filming around the corner at Diamond & Meserole in Brooklyn). If you missed Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Wednesday night, you can check it out here.

Mr. Popper’s Penguins, starring Jim Carrey, continues filming in studio (Steiner, Brooklyn Navy Yard).

Nurse Jackie is filming in studio (Kaufman Astoria).

Royal Pains is filming in studio (Broadway Stages, Brooklyn). Rumor has it they were shooting in Jones Beach West yesterday and they were being very secretive, they were even restricting hikers from entering the area if they were carrying cameras. This will likely be the last day of filming for the season.

Update: •Signs spotted around W 60th and Broadway for Tower Heist (with Ben Stiller), not sure if signs are for Fri or Sat though. (Thanks @Casstotherole) Update: Signs are for Saturday & Sunday.

Filming in Philadelphia:

The Dark Fields is filming re-shoots at The Philadelphia Zoo. The movie, which stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, was shot in NYC and Philadelphia earlier this year.

Safe, a new movie starring Jason Statham, started filming in Philly yesterday, they were filming at 2nd and Chestnut. Keep an eye out for them filming in Philadelphia today!

Update:Safe is filming around 100 Chestnut St in Philly.

Filming in Texas:

Bernie, starring Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey, is filming around W Prairie Lea St & S Blanco St in Lockhart, TX. We’ve had several reports of fans who have met Jack and Matthew while they’ve been filming in Texas and everyone has said they’ve been friendly and welcoming! If you spot the guys filming, be sure to let us know what you think! Bernie is based on the true story of an assistant funeral director who befriends a wealthy widow and then kills her. But, not only did he pretend she was alive for some time afterwards, the town actually rallied around him when they learned what happened.

The Good Guys is filming at Southside Stages, 2901 S. Lamar, Dallas, TX again. Check back later today when we’ll be posting a few pictures of the show filming on location in Dallas. They even include the iconic Trans Am featured in the show, I love that car!

Update: All photos will be posted early next week, let us know if you have any to share and we’ll add those too, thanks!

  1. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Will Filming in Hawaii Until December 15
    And Shoot in Wilmington, N.C From Jan 10 To Feb 11 , 2011

    • Dan not sure if “Young Adults” has even come to town yet. They were not at the location posted this week. There are no signs on the streets. So my guess is they are either at another location that we don’t know about or they just aren’t in Massapequa.

      • Sorry about the location mix up, they had posted notices 2 weeks ago with dates for last week and this week I guess, so I went with it but as always, things are subject to change, I think they will be filming more in NYC, but havne’t heard of any exact locations.

        • There are pictures online of Charlize Theron filming in Massapequa on Tues. 10/26 and there have been local casting calls for at least 2 weeks. The start date according to the casting agency was 10/11.

  2. Hi, Yesterday walked past “2 Days in New York” feature film on Broome, before Chrystie. Pretty sure I saw Julie Delpy (director and star) on the street. Chris Rock is also in this movie. Not sure how long it is filming.

    • if they are filming today, I’m thinking its in studio, I don’t believe they are on location- I just added their location for Monday in the calendar above though if you want to check it out.

  3. Bear with me, a couple more updates:
    I was questioned about Super 8 and Lost Valentine a couple times this week- they have both wrapped, well Super 8 is now in studio, which I believe is in L.A.

    Also got a few requests this week looking for the following, if anyone hears anything please let us know, I know a lot of our tips and traffic has moved to Twitter, but it is still nice to see people discussing locations in comments here too! 🙂
