This morning I was so excited to hear that Kristen Bell (who played Veronica Mars on the way-too-short-lived series Veronica Mars) was returning to TV in a new pilot for Showtime and by this afternoon I had already received the show’s first filming locations in Los Angeles!
Kristen will join Don Cheadle and Heroes‘ Dawn Olivieri in House of Lies, a dark comedy “which revolves around dueling corporate management consulting firms.”
The show is based on the book by Martin Kihn and centers on Marty (Cheadle), “a self-loathing highly successful management consultant from a top-tier firm who is never above using any means necessary to get his clients the information they want.” Kristen plays Jeannie Van Der Hooven, “a razor-sharp, Ivy-League graduate who works at Marty’s firm.”
On Feb. 11 House of Lies will be filming at 1100 S Hope St (5:00 A.M. – 1:00 A.M.) and on Feb. 13 they will be shooting at 610 W 6th St (5:00 A.M. – 4:00 A.M.).
Update: They are also filming at 800 Wilshire Blvd on Feb. 12 (5:00 A.M. – 4:00 A.M.).
If you spot House of Lies filming in L.A., let me know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com! I can’t wait to hear more about this one!
Update: House of Lies will also be filming in New York City on Feb. 4, 5, & 6. If you spot them filming in NYC, be sure to let us know about it! (Thanks Annie)

Odd, I just saw casting calls in NYC today for stand-ins for all the principal actors in this pilot. I thought it was shooting here. I guess not.
Maybe its shooting in both locations, let me know if you see anything else. I know the new pilot Alcatraz is filming in a couple different series so its possible. Thanks!
There are casting calls with shoot dates of 2/4 & 2/5 for stand-ins for all the principals and other extras.
OK, thanks!
More casting calls for Sun, 2/6.
