  1. I know GG is filming some “gala event” tomorrow! They were looking for extras with tux and gowns. I’m guessing interior shoots due to the weather these days.

    • I went to 30th st between 1st and 2nd between 12- 12:30 and saw some trailers but did not see any of the actors. Did anyone actually see them filming today?

      Does anyone know when they will be filming tomorrow?

      • I went down there in the afternoon, I didn’t see any of the cast either.

        The trailers ( though not that many and nowhere near the usual number) are on 30th between 2nd and 1st but I followed a sign and it appears that they are actually filming indoors, right down the bottom of East 30th and FDR Drive. I couldn’t see any filming or cameras, lighting etc.

        The no parking signs on 30th and 2nd indicate that they are there again tomorrow.

    • No, you need to be registered with the casting agency if you want to be an extra on gg. Those postings are intended for the people that are already registered with them. They are always looking for extras with a certain upscale look and you also need to have your own designer wardrobe, they don’t provide it.

  2. I just added a note for Man On A Ledge, I got a tip (from a seemingly reliable source) that they are filming a prison scene in East Meadow, which makes sense because there is a prison scene in the script, but I don’t if they have 2 units going or if they will return tot he Manhattan location later on in the week, they were definitely at that NYC location yesterday and last weekend.

    • When you are a background extra, you do not get to meet any of the actors. You will never be on camera with them, you will be in the background as part of the atmosphere. When not shooting you are kept in a holding area, which is away from the set and separate from the actors trailers and this is where you are given lunch, etc. You have no contact with the principal actors. The only extras that are in scenes with the actors are actors that are members of the union.

  3. Here are a bunch more tips from Twitter & other threads:

    -The NYC premiere of Megamind is tonight at AMC Lincoln Square (B’way & 68th) complete with a blue carpet!

    -Southland filming right now near Hollywood and Vine..Ben McKenzie is on set!

    -Young Adult, starring Charlize Theron, is filming at Ardsley Middle School, Ardsley, NY tonight. 10 minutes ago via web

    -Wanderlust (w/ Jennifer Aniston) filming at 400 Galleria Building in Atlanta today.

  4. Does anyone know of a movie being filmed in Pleasant Ridge, MI? They have a whole side street blocked off. If no one has heard anything I’ll stop and ask the security guy tomorrow on my way home from work.
