Coen Brothers to Invade Middagh Tuesday

IMG.jpgResidents around Middagh Street were informed via flyer tonight that the Coen Brothers will be filming a crash scene for Burn After Reading on their street this Tuesday (10/2).  The set-up will be that of a “t-bone crash” and the circular tells us that “actors” (perhaps Pitt and Clooney?) will be present at filming. Residents are advised that both sides of Middagh Street between Hicks and Willow as well as the west side of Hicks between Orange and Poplar will be taken up by production vehicles.

Residents are urged to call the Mayor’s Department of Film and Television at 212-489-6710 with any questions.

    Given that I live in a wood frame house on the block, I just hope that this “T-bone” crash doesn’t involve any flaming pyrotechnics. In other words, I prefer my t-bone raw.

    Husband saw Clooney this morning on his way to the 2/3. GC was standing in front of the old Palmira’s…

    I saw John Malkovich and Tilda Swindon this morning in front of the 2/3. I guess it’s the same film.

    I wonder if the kids in PS8 will have a great view of the whole thing!!! Maybe Maddox will come visit for the day ;)

    I held the door for John Malkovich this morning, buying coffee at Cranberry’s. Nice guy.

    And he’s putting money into the local economy, not TomKats Catering! Way to go John!
