DreamWorks News: Images & Report: 'Munich' in Brooklyn
Sep 27, 2005 - 12:43 PM
Lucas has sent us images and report from the set of 'Munich' which is currently filming in Brooklyn.

With 2 months left in release, Spielberg is close to wrapping up the production which arrives in theatres on December 23rd. Below is the report along with images.
Today was a good day for me. I arrived at the location around 11:30am where Steven Spielberg is filming his new movie called ""Munich"" which stars Eric Bana.

I read that they were going to be filming under the bogus title ""Kings Cross"", so when I was speaking to a PA, he told me the bogus title and I was like ""suuuuuuuuuure"" then I said I thought it was ""Munich"" and he said No.

I'm thinking he began to notice I was suspicious of his little lie so he asked me who is the director and I told him Steven Spielberg so he opened up to me and gave me the details. They will be filming here in New York till wednesday and the movie is nearly completed for its December release.

I blended in well with the crew and was taking a few pictures till some big crew member told me I had to leave, but lucky enough, I got a few pictures of Spielberg on the dolly track filming. Not sure if you'll be able to see him or not but if you're able to zoom in on the picture with whatever software you have, you'll deffinately see him. He was wearing a brown hat and a brown jacket.

The first scene I seen filming was mostly Exterior shots of Background action. I'm surrounded by 70s style cars.. The silver one I took a picture of is beautiful. Well, they wet up the whole street and a few cars were driving pass me.

The next scene that was shot is What looks like Eric Bana's character walking up the stairs holding a baby. From what I've seen, they did the scene again but this time he was hiding behind a tree like someone's after him.

After the take, the baby Eric Bana was holding began to cry so Steven got a little toy and began to play with it in front of her to cheer her up. They begin to do the same take again, this time Spielberg is speed walking with the cameraman to make sure he is framing the shot properly.

The scene they began filming after that has Eric Bana in a telephone booth with a 70s bus that I took a picture of and cars to blend in. Sometimes you just gotta love movie magic.

It began to rain later that day and I heard people complaining how movies come here and film and never contribute anything to the neighborhood. I guess sometimes people have nothing better to do than b**ch.

Production wrapped around 6pm.

I have to admit, I'm a Spielberg fan and seeing him work had me star struck. His work on ""Saving Private Ryan"" alone makes him one of the best directors working today, if not ever!

Sorry I couldn't get closer pictures. Hope these come out good. Until the next time,

Stay tuned for more coverage."
