New set photos show Savannah being transformed in NYC for ‘CBGB’

Filming is in full swing for CBGB, about the famous NYC club and it’s founder Hilly Kristal, in Savannah, Georgia.

Some New Yorkers are outraged that a movie about a club so synonymous with NYC is primarily being filmed in Savannah, but a few new set photos prove they are doing a bang up job making the southern city look like New York in the 1970s.

One of our Twitter followers, @georgiannie3, sent us several photos of Alan Rickman and Ashley Greene filming a scene outside a factious CBGB’s last week. You can see more of her photos here too.

@relaxjolene also shared the above photo of Alan on set in Savannah and told us most of the supporting cast, including Rupert Grint and Stana Katic, were expected in Savannah this week to begin filming their scenes.

And, finally, thanks to Charlie at NobleMouse.com we have a first look at Donal Logue on set.

Thanks again to all of our readers in Savannah for keeping us in the loop about the movie’s progress.  If you spot CBGB filming in Savannah, let us know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
