Last week Matt Bomer and Lily Collins began filming Amazon’s pilot The Last Tycoon, based on the unfinished F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.
The story’s main character, Monroe Stahr, was inspired by the life of film mogul Irving Thalberg. The Last Tycoon centers on Stahr (Bomer), “Hollywood’s first wunderkind studio executive in the 1930s as he climbs to the height of power pitting him against his mentor and current head of the studio Pat Brady, a character based on Louis B. Mayer. With Stahr as a focal point, the series delves into the true violence, sex and towering ambition of Hollywood in the ’30s.”
On Friday, Feb. 19, The Last Tycoon will be filming at 615 S Broadway, Los Angeles from 7:00 AM – 11:59 PM.
