One of our Twitter followers, @sookietex, sent us these shots her husband took on the set of Tower Heist, outside of the Trump Tower International Hotel and Tower (a favorite of celebrities including The Jonas Brothers), on Tuesday.
The movie, about a man who leads a plot to rob a rich penthouse tenant, has an all star cast including Casey Affleck, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Tea Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe, Judd Hirsch as well as Ben Stiller and Alan Alda, who are both featured in the photos below.
Alda, who plays the rich tenant, just wrapped his part in Wanderlust, the new Paul Rudd/Jennifer Aniston movie currently filming in Georgia. Just last Friday Alda shot a scene with Aniston outside a diner in Gwinnett, GA. An onlooker at the shoot told us that he “wouldn’t make eye contact whatsoever” with any of the fans watching while Jennifer was very nice and “normal”.
But, don’t get down on Alan Alda just yet. Another source, who was on set during a nudist scene (the movie is about a couple who explore living a more “counter-culture” lifestyle), had nothing but good things to say about Alda:
Paradise Valley Resort and Club had a number of their nudist members filming with Jennifer, Paul, Milan, Alan and the rest of the crew in Clarksville on October 12th … very, very cold, Lauren Ambrose was super nice, found a couple of the nudist standing in the cold outside the makeup trailer, wearing only robes and demanded they be provided a warm trailer in which to wait for makeup. Nudists were on the set for 6 days total. The nudists finished shooting with the stunt people (who were also required to be naked) on October 27th. Jennifer and the rest of the stars worked with the nudists several days, but were already in Lawrenceville when the nudists finished their part of the scenes. The stunt people are not nudists and the nudists hope they helped them feel comfortable, they were all very professional and did a great job! The nudists were a little surprised, but overjoyed that they were allowed to be “up close and personal” in the activities requiring stuntmen and women. They said it was exciting! Alan Alda is a super nice guy and very, very funny. On the cold day, he said he was sticking close to the nude folks, since they would know where to go for the warmest spot in the sun.
The cast of Tower Heist will continue filming around New York City through the end of the year while Wanderlust wraps up in Georgia this week.
