There was somebody shooting a movie here today on Roosevelt Island. It's quite a popular spot, particularly the parking garage. Unfortunately, the garage is usually used for the gritty, industrial look. Parts of "Inside Job" and "Dark Water" were filmed here. Some of the neighbors were saying that it looked like they were trying to film a hooker scene. They kept filming this thin women with black leather pants and a white tube top smoking. I saw her and I think it might have been some humorless rock video. They did have one elaborate tour bus with loads of wardrobe and food though.
The had this weird lighting gismo that looked like a balloon on a stick. It was black on the bottom and luminescent in the upper hemisphere. Perhaps they filming a remake of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and that was the space ship. I doubt it. It looked like humorless artsy types.
The south end of the island is where they constructed the cemetery set for Zoolander, where David Duchovny's character ducks behind tomb stones with Manhattan in the background. Queens is 100 yeards away with loads of cemeteries (PEOPLE ARE DYING TO GET IN! BA-DA-BING!) and they build a fake one for the movie. Go figure.
