The Fox Searchlight feature Animal Rescue is set to begin filming in NYC.
The movie stars Tom Hardy as “a man who wants to shed his criminal path but somehow gets mixed up in a bad heist and a killing resulting from a lost and contested pit bull.”
Though the short story by Dennis Lehane that the movie is based on is set in Boston, they’ve relocated the action to New York for the movie.
Noomi Rapace will also star.
According to a recent casting call, the movie is filming exterior scenes in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Monday, March 11.
UPDATE: Animal Rescue is filming at Franklin St & Commercial St, Brooklyn on Monday, Mar. 11.

Wished i live nearby! good luck on this one Mr. Hardy …..i look forward to this!
Tom and Noomi together: both great actors, so, yes please!!!
Damn! Really wanted this to film in Boston LOL
I live nearby but would love to know exactly where in Greenpoint ?
Got this off the NYC film Commission site:
Animal Rescue
Company: Vienna’s Dream Productions, Inc.
Address: 430 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249
Shoot: 2/18/13-5/31/13
that’s as much info as i can find so far. that’s just where the production office is temporarily situated for the entire shoot, but maybe that’s a start.
he is going to be filming on ft hamilton pkwy tomorrow.
I think the best thing to do is look for those No Parking signs in Greenpoint, if anyone spots them, let us know, thanks!
Yeah they usually block of a street and there will be signs telling people not to park on certain days.
Filming locations Adelphi ST and Clermont ave between flushing and Park Ave. filming at 10 pm. 11 March.
thanks, usually when time is 10 pm it is to move cars and film the next day, could this be for tomorrow? thanks!
Good luck tom on this movie.. can’t wait for you to be back home on British soil tho.
Thanks for the info.. will make my way out there & check it out!
My water heater will be in Tom hardy’s basement
lol what does this mean? is your place being used as a location?
It means I sold (on Craig’s List) my water heater to the company that is obtaining set props….and was told that it was to be used in some basement scene ! I probably wont be walking the red carpet with by water heater in a couple years….but ! :>)
Last night I drove by to see the area…420 Kent is Cinemagic studios….didn’t really see 430, but I imagine its right there. Beautiful area right on the water!
On a side note, there are signs for The Americans by McCarren Park in Greenpoint.
Thanks Peter! Do you happen to know the dates for the Americans shoot?
I’m sorry, unfortunately I didn’t look at the dates (they did look like new signs though)
Also on Nassau Ave in Greenpoint for Monday and Tuesday is The Good Wife!
No prob Peter thanks for update!
They are filming around Commercial St and Franklin St in Brooklyn tomorrow
I think I am going to use this movie as an Open Thread and I’ll open up a thread in the forum too for people to talk about upcoming locations for this movie so if you happen to see them filming anywhere (not just in Brooklyn) you can leave that info here, thanks!
Is this for The Americans or Animal Rescue?
sorry that question was in regards to Commercial and Franklin.
If anyone checks it out tomorrow, let us know!
If I were to go to the location of this shooting tomorrow, what are the chances of me meeting Tom Hardy? Highly unlikely?
I think that would depend on if its interior or exterior shots, and possibly security. I hear Tom is still smoking so if they’re interior shots, he will probably come out for smoke breaks.
I went to his set twice and both times had the chance to meet and take pictures with him. He is very nice. It took a few hours before he had a break but he even spoke to my daughter for a bit and hugged and said he felt bad we had to wait so long to meet with him. a real gentleman.
Did they actually film today and will they continue filming throughout the week?
see info below
What times and days will he be filming I missed today 🙁
The definitely shot today:

As for an exact schedule, that will probably be hard to come by unless there’s an insider.
thanks for link was surprised we didn’t see more
There are definitely plenty on tumblr, with personal accounts and video, and as expected, hear nothing but nice things about people meeting Tom.
What other days will they be filming?
they are filming in studio tomorrow at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn -its in the Brooklyn Navy Yard not really any access
Also see Brian’s post above – sounds like they might be on location around Adelphi St and Clermont Ave between Flushing and Park Ave tomorrow too maybe
Does anybody have any information about shooting locations for the rest of the week? Thank you!
“#AnimalRescue is filming around Flushing Ave & Clermont Ave, Brooklyn tomorrow” – got that off of OLV twitter.
Thank you very much!
Anybody know filming area for Thursday or Friday? And time if possible ?
Sorry I didn’t add an update for today, just a reminder we will likely have info everyday o check our daily filming locations post (shortcut on side) too if looking for info and if you get pics, please share, we love to see the photos people take with our tips, thanks!
“#AnimalRescue is filming at 74th St and Metropolitan Ave in Queens tomorrow”
They’re shooting in Forest Hills today, right now, right off Metro, block past Ascan Ave.
thanks for the info!
I live right by Metropolitan, how did I not know :-(…does anyone know if they are filming there this weekend too?
they arent filming this weekend and I think they are at a different location on Mon
Nostrand and Ave U, Brooklyn NY
They are filming Est.3rd st. Brooklyn off fort hamilton
Est. 3rd st. brooklyn, off ft. hamilton parkway on Tuesday, March 26th and Wednesday,
March 27th.
thanks for the update!!
Thanks Marco!
Please people, stop giving away my street, I don’t want a million people showing up at my doorstep. Cannot wait to meet Tom Hardy though! If you haven’t figured it out, it’s filming on my block.
when are they filming in forest hill queens and when? are they done filming in marine park. they were on coleman and flatlands last night
they are on flatlands avenue and east 38th street for the next week as per the sign
thank you. the last i saw was today-wednesday was east 3rd and fort hamilton guess i have to go check out east 38th street
thanks for all for all of the updates!
Due to weather conditions being unruly, and them pushing back filming to Thursday and Friday do you know if they will be working Saturday as well?
last night i drove by flatlands and coleman street and the sign in front of the bar said they will be filming there til march 30th. but they are supposed to be on east 3rd and ft hamilton tonight and tomorrow. if anyone hears of any other locations please let me know.
Actually I saw on another source that due to the weather conditions tonight and tomorrow were postponed till Thursday and Friday.
Here’s the link: https://karmabrooklyn.blogspot.com/2013/03/okay-to-park-on-fhp-film-shoot.html
Does anyone know of any other locations Animal Rescue is filming?
My family and I are making the trip up March 30th in the morning does that include the 30th as well?
the 30th is the last day. They have been filming in front of the bar only early day. I saw them there at 2:30pm but by 5pm they were gone.
Wow…Tom is causing a stir. If he is drawing crowds , it will be harder for him to meet as many fans I suposse. Is the new info about being moved to Thursday and Friday solid? It would be a waste to drive up and them not be there. Now a private guide personfor Brooklyn would be great. 🙂
I have to say I met him twice. I had to wait a couple of hours but both times he was so sweet and didnt mind taking the pics.
That’s great for you. I haven’t heard anything bad about him at all. I am just having a hard time navtigating the info. Not filming due to weather and then they are, etc… If I lived right there I could check up on locations, but I have to come into the city. Now it looks like rain Thurs. and Friday. One thing said because of weather filming was pushed to thur & fri. What is the bar? and it that where they are staying the rest of the week? That’s nice you got to meet him.
I have only heard such positive things about him as well. I have seen pretty much all of his movies and he doesn’t disappoint. He just doesn’t act he brings each character to life. I to am having a little difficulty as to well to where these locations are because I’m not from Brooklyn, let alone New York. In fact my family and I are making a day trip of it and our goal is to get to see the set/ meet Tom. (hehe) 🙂
its on flatlands avenue off coleman street in brooklyn. I am going to drive by tonight where they are supposed to be filming and see if i see him. I will let you know. 🙂
Thank you Michelle that would be greatly appreciated. ♥
I am not complaining, OLV and everyone who shares info does a great job. It’s not that far and I just stay with my cousin if I want. Or go home. She is on 84th, so cabs back and forth. It’s navigating Brooklyn and having the staying power. Willing to wait for hours and hours. But, it is great that they provide all the information.
I went by last night and saw nothing. signs were changed to filming tonight so i am going to go back and try
Thank you Michelle for any info you can find out.
Shitty Crew Especially the PAs and Wardrobe!! Leave Brookyn Soon!! #817 Family always Good No matter the movie!! amd Local # 52 as Usual Rock!!
Ok, thank you Michelle. Any info would be great. I know KARMABrooklynBlog had put out a staement, but filming went on yesterday and today, so that may mean they didn’t have to put it off. I can finally get off work Friday to try for my second time. If not, I hear the are done. If they are done today, I won’t make the trip. Bus, cab, stay over. Any info would be great. If anyone finds out thank you in advance for the info.
I heard they are filming all over Brooklyn til the middle of april but i am having a hard time trying to find out if thats true and if so where are all the locations.
HoLoHoax Movie filming in Brooklyn!! Oh no not another Ego Driven film!!
it’s confirmed this is the last week? I thought they were going through April, thanks!
I’m guessing based off the the little widget on the right that they won’t be filming on Saturday then?
I know someone said at was last day but they haven’t been filming on Sat, just Mon- Fri
The other day someone said filming was being pushed back due to weather, so they were filming Thursday and Friday. The went ahead and filmed yesterday and today. Will they still film those days? Will Friday be the last day? Just wondering if that is the last chance to see them? Thanks for any help/info.
Friday is their second and last day of shooting on East 3rd and Ft. hamilton pkwy
So tomorrow is their last day of shoot just for that particular location, or in the NYC area?
That’s what I was wondering. Is it just the end at this location, or is it the end of the movie filming altogether?
I just know that tomorrow is the last day for this particular location.
Thanks. There is different info. Is this the Fort Hamilton Pkwy and 3rd st location? Or the Flatlands and Kimball St location. Thanks
Wait, this is the last week they’re filming in NYC?! I was going to head over there next week! Can anyone confirm this?
FYI today they are filming on Flatlands Ave in Brooklyn
Thank you Christine. Do you know if tomorrow is is the final day of shooting for this movie entirely,(the movie is finished) or just for this area? Thank you.
Keep an eye on the daily filming locations, I post the most current, accurate info there, thanks
Will do. I bought the Field Guide.
I am headed to NYC. Last thing posted for Animal Rescue was Fort Hamilation parkway. That’s where I will go. Someone who met him yesterday said it wouldd be the same place today Flastlands. She said there were signs. Am going with your into.
If anyone happens to find out what time they are there until today, can someone please post it? Thank you.
thanks!!
if anyone does spot them at Flatlands, pls let us know, thanks!
heard they are def. at Ft Hamilton today
Yes, they have been at Fort Hamilton all day. And will probably be there til 1:00am. Finally met Tom Hardy. THANK YOU! Will send picture.
they will be on flatlands and kimball for at least another week.
Has anyone been able to confirm if they’ll be on Flatlands through April 5th?
Hi
Does anyone know if they’ll be filming into next week?
Thanks!
i have been sick so i have not been able to go and check but i am hoping they are there for tomorrow because I would like to go back and see him
i’m hoping they’re shooting tomorrow too. i plan on stopping by as well.
I hope they are fiming somewhere Monday. I am in town Sunday for a concert and it’s at the Barclays. So I would have Monday to meet Tom again. Guess I will wait til Sunday to see what’s posted. But, glad I got to meet him in the first place. Thanks to OLV.
last i saw they were on 3rd avenue and 32nd street in brooklyn. does anyone know if they are still there and if there are any other locations they are filming. they are gone from flatlands avenue
I Heard He Was Supposed To Leave Today. I Don’t Know How True That Is.
for good. filming is over? have you seen any signs for further dates. Ty was hoping to meet him one more time.
I Don’tKnow. Not Sure.
does anyone know if Animal rescue is still filming in Brooklyn?? One of the earlier posts said until May 31st. I’m heading down on May 18th and would love to meet Tom!! Please reply:)
Apparently Friday was Tom’s last day and he flew back home. That’s what’s been reported. They could still be filming but it seems like they’re done with all of Tom’s scenes.
i will try to drive by tomorrow or friday to see. does anyone know if he was in sunset park or kent avenue
Last I heard they were shooting in Cinemagic Riverfront Studios at 420 Kent.
OK, thanks so much Michelle and CC. I really do appreciate it!!
Apparently there is some new news:
https://dumbonyc.com/2013/04/24/filming-in-dumbo-animal-rescue/
any updates on filming? it’s probably over by now, but was hoping it would be until 5/31….
Tonya-they wrapped a couple of weeks ago. Sorry.
