He also “lives” in the area with an apartment on CPW.

Where’s his mask?

He was shooting Macbeth pre covid but that was in LA. Aren’t there signs posted with the name of the film?

Celebrities and Governors are officially designated as “essential faces”, and therefore do not need to wear masks in public or follow the restrictions that they tell others to follow. This falls under the “essential face” immunity loophole.

My favorite actor, for the past 20 years.
Should have been nominated and win for “The Book of Eli”.
Truly the best actor alive.

(1) Production companies are exceptionally careful and thorough about testing crew and actors. They dispense with masks only when doing the actual filming. (That does not explain why Mr. W. was not wearing one in the photo.)
(2) The movie or TV show name displayed on the posted permits will frequently be made up in the case of a new movie or TV show where they don’t want it known yet.

Production companies apparently test the talent, who will be mask-less on set, daily, according to Cynthia Nixon.

Well if Cynthia Nixon says so… “Hollywood” is the least essential business of all and I certainly don’t need their liberal sermonizing to me about their beliefs!

They are filming a movie he is not scheduled to be in at CP, but he has an apt on CPW and his LA home just had a fire that he managed to escape.

His LA home did not have a fire.

So sick of filming in the UWS. This is my home, not the set of a tv show or movie. Last week some show shooting in the upper west side took up 11 blocks. A guy who looked like a bouncer told me at 10:30pm that my car was going to be towed that night. Took me over an hour to re-park it. Anyhow, I just couldn’t believe they’re towing cars for a tv show in a pandemic. A bunch of old folks probably had to take a train and two buses to Ozone Park to get their cars out of impound. Anyhow, seriously, leave us alone. Stop taking over out neighborhoods.

Definitely time for you to move!

If they tow your car, it does not go to impound. They are required to put your car into the closest legal space. It is not the same as if NYPD Traffic tows your car because it is illegally parked.

Hey Mark, are you offering to pay for the lost revenue the City receives from these shoots? What better time than in a pandemic to take advantage of these opportunities. You want a nice quiet home, move to the burbs.

That’s often the obnoxious answer to anyone who has an even partially reasonable objection to some aspect of life in NYC: “Move to the ‘burbs.’”
Kind of reminds me of one of the right wing’s mindless responses to the anti-war protestors of the 60s: “America, Love It or Leave It!”

America, love it or leave it made perfect sense and is now more appropriate than ever. And no, I’m not a racist, have white privilege or are xenophobic…I’m just a proud American who doesn’t feel the need to cow tow to every new immigrant group. Funny how, many don’t like and want to change the US, but they still keep coming…

Adding ‘cow tow’ to the list that includes ‘for all intensive purposes’ and ‘walla’.

Denzel Washington has been crucial in arranging and producing the film adaptations of August Wilson’s great plays. First FENCES, now just ahead is MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM. Saw a trailer today; will be in theaters soon, then on Netflix. Directed by George C. Wolfe, screenplay by UWS resident Ruben Santiago-Hudson. The stars are Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman in his last film role. Thank you, Mr. Washington, for giving cinematic life to August Wilson’s work.

Any sighting of Denzel Washington is a pleasure. One of the greatest actors of all time plus a very charitable man who has given millions to help others. I have been a fan of his since his early tv series. Always enjoy his performances, directing and producing projects.

He’s scouting locations in Central Park for a movie he’s directing in the spring.

That makes sense. His IMDB filmography doesn’t correspond with a list of movies being filmed in New York today. But if he is filming a movie in the spring, IMDB hasn’t added it to his filmography yet. https://www.projectcasting.com/news/filming-in-new-york-city

Holy cow — it must be a film about the Fountain of Youth, because he looks like he hasn’t aged in 30 years!
