New York Set Ready To Shoot
New York Panorama

Gandalf writes: Well a lot has taken place in the last two weeks. After my break I returned to the set today to find it bustling with activity. A huge marquee and cast caravans now occupy the carpark - all the cars being parked along the gravel road surrounding the set with access now restricted by security. Most of the store fronts now appear painted, many sporting verandahs, although lots of scaffold is still in use. Lots to see in this selection of photos, including more posts for the elevated tracks, large green screens, camera towers, the painted tram on the street and some old vintage cars. I also learned that residents in the area received letters, similar to the one I received prior to filming on the Skull Island set, informing them of pending night filming and advising them not to be alarmed by sound effects... I've also included an updated panorama showing the set in its entirety. [More]
