Morgan Freeman, Cynthia Nixon, and Diane Keaton are filming on 110th and Amsterdam right now.  That’s right, the side wall of 1020 that you made out with some rando on last spring is finally going to have its moment in the cinematic sun.  The film is “Life Itself,” a dramedy about Manhattan real estate. Special […]

Update, 12:12pm: Multiple tipsters have spotted filming on 116th as well. New TV show Modern Love is filming a pilot on 113th St. this morning. Last night, all the cars remaining on the street were being ticketed, and most likely towed. The show seems to be something like Sex and the City meets the New […]

1020 groupies rejoice! That booth where you had one too many tinis is now famous. The latest prep school misfits movie, The Art of Getting By, stars Emma Roberts (the one from Aquamarine—which maybe made you tear up that one time) and the Wes Anderson look-alike from the trippy version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Isn’t […]

V117 premieres tonight! Their trailer (as imagined by CUMB) boasts POWER, LUST and Godzilla footage. Check out our review of the preview, and a brief history of the Varsity Show tradition. We’ll see you there tonight! Spec gets personal and pretty cute with their professors about the meaning of life, sharing their stories from their […]

A tipster informs us that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, the movie based on the acclaimed book of the same name, is now filming on Amsterdam between 92nd street and 102nd street. A few weeks ago, Bwog spotted them filming on La Salle. No sign of Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, or the dreamy Jonathan Safran […]

Not real ones! The show Damages. A tipster reports trailers and at least one catering truck on 109 and Amsterdam. (No, not catering by Crack Del. We had to ask, too.) Click the images to enlarge them:

HBO’s new movie Too Big To Fail is up on Broadway between 121st and 122nd.  It’s based on Andrew Sorkin’s book of the same name.  It’s got quite a cast, so go get starstruck! Photo by EJ

There was a flurry of film crews on and around campus this week, and it looks like some of them are here to stay. So look pretty out there, people… you could wind up in a movie! Top Left: Film crew setting up shooting for Premium Rush starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. No signs of the man […]

It’s summer, and it’s that magical time of year when things change and you come back next year only to think, “Hey, when did this happen?” Well, now is when! Lerner Renovation: First and foremost, the plans and models we saw back in May for a new Lerner 4th Floor, home to the new Center […]

A film crew for a movie called “Homework” was spotted outside of 1020 today, scheduled to shoot from 6am to 11pm. You still have time to go see some movie magic being made and join the ranks of Will Ferrell and Marky Mark! Photo by AK

“Smuggler” refers to a production company based in New York, but, alas, it’s not actually a film shoot.   A phone call to the company revealed that they’re shooting a Cottonelle commercial.  Perhaps they’ll give us some samples to replace the wax paper currently supplied to dorms. Update, 5:07 PM: B&W Editor-in-Chief Juli Weiner says […]

A Bwog tipster stepped out onto the doorstep of River this morning to find this rather damaged copy of a Damages shooting script nestled among some dead leaves. Welcome to New York, where even our litter is kind of glamorous.

Damages, the acclaimed FX drama, will be squatting on Broadway between 113th and 114th (give or take) until around 10pm this evening.  Liz Naiden, Chief of all things “Revered and Reviled,” managed to sneak a glimpse of the production trailers, and found labels including “The Clown Room” and “Future Boss Players.”  Plot guesses, anyone?

Along with the rest of the cast from Law and Order Special Victims Unit. Amanda Cormier caught Detective Tutuola and Medical Examiner Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) walking past 1020 just before noon, perhaps choosing to take their lunch at the Hungarian instead.    More pictures of the pair, the scene of the crime, and what […]
