This is really cool! It looks to me like they’re filming a prison scene or a mental hospital scene or something. Zooming in, I see lots of 1970s or 1980s style police cars, ambulances, a few news trucks. Plus the search lights - with all that detail they must be shooting outside soon, too.

We’ve had a few movies being filmed in Elizabeth lately, as well. “Day of the Fight” was filming here in September or October last year on the backstreets of the Peterstown section, and “Your Monster” was filming somewhere on East Jersey near Broad (either near or at the old Ritz theater).

At least 2 major studios (Netflix and Lionsgate) are setting up shop in NJ, too, thanks to the tax breaks (which I think is awesome), so we should be seeing a lot more of this type of thing in the coming years.

I …don’t know why the hell I didn’t make that connection. Of COURSE it’s Arkham Asylum. Teenage-me would be embarrassed that I didn’t realize it sooner. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the correction!

That’s really cool! My oldest son took a film/video editing course throughout his 4 years in High School, but after graduation he decided that working with his hands (plumbing, carpentry, etc) was more his style.

Do you know of any websites or Twitter/Facebook/etc accounts that regularly update what, when & where filming is taking place in the greater NJ/NYC area? There was a NYC Filming Twitter account I used to follow a while back, but whoever was running it stopped posting. It’d be awesome to have a resource like that, whether it’s to avoid an area due to traffic or scope it out from a distance (so as not to disturb the actors & crew).

It's more localized. You'd have to find the communities who post about that. Like montclair has a newsletter somewhere. The jobs list is confidential to our union members but it's just a list of jobs and the main location/stage
