  1. Anyone know what “TFC” is? Been seeing yellow filming signs throughout Altadena CA for a few months now….Also, any news on Parenthood filming on-location filming? I know they’ve recently been filming in LA (& of course on their lot), but no specifics.

    • last week NCIS was filming at the high school on Lake in Altadena. Not sure what is shooting today in the alley across from Websters but it’s a pro crew.

  2. Hi Christine

    So do u think I have a chance to see Je tomorrow on set if I were to drive in from LI ?? are they Exterior shots or inside all day ?
    Thank u

    • I don’t know if they will be filming exteriors or not but they will def. be at 43rd and 6th location originally heard nite shoot, now hearing daytime, sounds like it will be a long shoot.

  3. TOWER HEIST IN ASTORIA: Can anybody confirm if they are filming chase scenes this weekend please ?? Also, what is the cross street to 31 st avenue being used????? Astoria is about the hardest place to navigate, they use a goofy numbered and name system for all streets. Am guessing it could be the same streets used for chases in one of Jolie’s recent films shot there also..

    TWITTER: Christine, can you post your Twitter link someplace please???

    HOLIDAY FILMING: Heard that some film shoots may be around the day after Thanksgiving, believe it or not. Not sure exactly which ones so far.

    Thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving

    • sure, twitter is @olv, there is a link on left side of site but it doesn’t show on Macs, mobile version, etc, I keep meaning to add it on the right side but keep forgetting…

    @olv somethings filming on the football field at Santa Monica College. no parking signs posted for today&tomorrow. ideas?

  5. The indie film Right Angle starring Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad is filming in West Bloomfield, Mi. Base camp is setup in a strip center parking lot at Walnut and Drake Rd. Does anybody have anymore info on this movie or who else is in it?

  6. Something was filming at 222 S Riverside today in Chicago today.. they were filming people coming out of the building in a single file line briskly and there was fake snow on the bus stop across the street. There was also a director of some sort signaling t someone that may have been filming from the top of a building or a window across the street. Any ideas what this was for?
