Sorry, that’s all I knew about tomorrow. However, their last on location shoot in NYC ): is going to be on Tuesday at Times Square and I’ll be there for sure!

Do you know what is meant by “inserts”?

Reply

5 D April 17, 2009 at 11:20 am

Inserts are little things that you see in the show like Olivia picking up a phone, or Peter pushing a button on the elevator. This is what they were shooting at 51 and 3rd the other day, but with Anna there. So it’s POSSIBLE to see someone, but no guarantee I guess…

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I don’t think I’ll be trekking over there then, I passed by yesterday’s locations and didn’t see anything

10 SAM April 19, 2009 at 11:39 pm

I could have met them on Wednesday when they were by the hospital, I was only a couple of blocks away but I was just so exhausted from work and classes all day that I just went home.

Hey Christine! At “The Company Men” shoot in Boston tomorrow, there’s a great little coffee shop on the corner with awesome cupcakes called the South End Buttery. I’m going to a screening in the morning but maybe I’ll see you there.

I met the whole SVU cast before except for B.D. Wong and Tamara Tunie. They are really lovely people! I hope you have a lot of fun! i know I did when i visited the SVU set 9/29/08 and 2/10/09.

The SVU set/cast is full of love, I must say, haven’t visiting it twice before and meeting Mariska Hargitay both times !!!! She is such a wonderful lady, a true sweetheart.

Have fun! My dear!!!! I hope you meet the cast the way I did. You may have to wait a while to get what you want. I had to wait about two hours to meet Mariska Hargitay first 9/29/08 and Mariska Hargitay again along with the entire cast 2/10/09.

Enjoy!!!!!

Xo,
Tamara

19 laurendee April 17, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Hi everyone, well, my dream sort of came true because I did get to see Mariska and Chris. I didn’t get to talk to them and they didn’t acknowledge those of us who were there, which was kind of disappointing, but I did get some great pics of them and observe them filming today. I also got to meet a fellow SVU fan who I met through OLV. I’m glad I got to see them. After I get my pics situated, I will send some to OLV so everyone can see, because knowing how much I longed to see them, I can only share with those of you who share the same feelings as I do.

SVU does not tape on the weekends.

Reply

27 Alison April 17, 2009 at 2:30 pm

SVU does not film on the weekends unless it is a special occasion which is very rare. But they are not filming tomorrow!

Reply

28 SAM April 19, 2009 at 11:51 pm

Right, for example if they can’t have the place closed down during the week. Like the UN building, they would have to film there on a weekend.

Reply

29 Sharon April 17, 2009 at 1:51 pm

something, I don’t know what, is filming right now at 42nd and 5th, by the subway entrance. I saw them on my way to and from lunch at Chipotle. Didn’t have the nerve to ask what the film/show is.

Reply

30 Jawad April 17, 2009 at 3:36 pm

i walked by there around the same time, by the public library but didn’t notice anything filming. does anyone know what it was? i worked right near that corner.

31 D April 17, 2009 at 5:02 pm

Something called “Biscuit” I have no idea what that is…

Reply

32 anon April 19, 2009 at 4:46 pm

i think that “Biscuit” might be a code name for something because i have scene signs for that around the city for the past like 10 months….

Will Fringe be filming this weekend??

Is it a waste of time to go to the Baster set? Or is Jennifer Anniston good with meeting fans? I haven’t heard too much about her in that regard

Reply

36 Alice April 17, 2009 at 3:36 pm

No, horrible.. YOu went get to take a picture with her in a million years. You could see her from far away. but not get too close to her. A picture of her in the distances, yes

Reply

Oh ok, thank you. I figured she was probably like that but thanks, I wont waste my time now!

I’ve been to 10th street / 5th this morning and this afternoon…they were still not shooting Law and order :(
We left at 3 PM.
My kids are very disapointed they couldn’t see their heroes.
The parking restriction is untill 10 PM though.
Any idea if it’s possible they would shoot tonight ?

44 Yvonne April 17, 2009 at 7:08 pm

Reply

52 dana April 17, 2009 at 10:46 pm

it depends what the call sced. is like. normally they pick back up again, few shots in july, slight chance in August for a few shots, but full time in September. But since the finale is late this year, who knows.

If it’s the one that’s being released in 2010 (according to IMDB), then “Twelve” is starring Kiefer Sutherland, Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Ellen Barkin, and 50 Cent among others.

What a random cast!

Hi Guys! I did get all of your tips and will get tomorrow’s locations up first thing in the morning -I’m just getting back/organized after our weekend in Boston (so I have some info on “the company” too).

I just browsed thru the comments:

I wanted to remind everyone to check out our news and events sections too, some of the stuff people are asking about I’ve covered in the “news”.

I’m working on getting info for Twelve and if I do I’ll have it up (of course) and if anyone else sees anything- please leave a comment.

I have no idea what happened to “the morgans”…

Did anyone have any Fringe sightings on Friday?

Ok, check back first thing Mon, I’ll have everything up..have to finish up some “real” work tonight first though…

Thanks for being patient!

There are signs up for Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Bedford Ave and Union Street in Brooklyn, in affect for the entire week. There is a huge NYU Athletic Facility Building that takes up a whole square block, so I would think it’s likely that they are filming inside there, but not sure. I Did see some Genie lifts outside, so maybe they will be shooting outside. The location is a few blocks south of the Bedford Armory and just south of Eastern Parkway.
