Filming in the neighborhood.

We noticed signs for filming of "The Americans", an FX TV series starring Keri Russell, on President Street between Smith and Court.  They'll be filming there today.  We also got a notice from a very cool blog/source through nyc.gov called Notify NYC about a simulated explosion in the Columbia Waterfront area tonight between 6pm and 9pm.  It's a busy day for making movies!

TV show shoot.

A good part of Cobble Hill has these signs posted for the filming of Pan Am. This is a new show for ABC set in the 1960's that follows the lives of flight attendants. We saw these around Clinton and Baltic noriginally but have seen them other places around the neighborhood as well. Maybe a car scene? The show, which is shooting tomorrow, looks pretty big budget and stars Christina Ricci and Kelli Garner. Here's a synopsis from IMDB. "Period drama about the pilots and flight attendants who once made Pan Am the most glamorous way to fly". Perhaps like when Men in Black was shooting, the streets will be filled with vintage cars and whatnot. That should be fun!
