The movie I Hate Valentine’s Day, which stars Nia Vardalos, has been covering a lot of Brooklyn ground recently, according to the blog Filming in Brooklyn: Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, Front Street in Dumbo and around Fort Greene Park. One reader took these shots last night on St. Felix Street. Any other locations we’ve missed?

They took over the restaurant, Mura, on 5th Ave between 6 and 7th on Wednesday.
Beau, I’m not feeling the title either, but who thought “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” would be a hit?
Hi davinbedstuy, that was the remake of The Taking of Pelham 123, starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta.
And Biff, New York State recently increased (by a huge margin) the tax rebate given to productions that film in NYS. Coupled with the smaller rebate given by NYC, New York just got a lot cheaper for productions.
Movies and TV shows are flocking here like never before. Ugly Betty just moved their entire production here from L.A., a huge coup for NY. One of the producers of the Ethan Hawke movie Brooklyn’s Finest said that without that new rebate, they simply couldn’t have made the movie, since director Antoine Fuqua refused to film anywhere else.

You can tell this movie will suck just from the title. They better do right by Brooklyn–it is based in Brooklyn, right? We’re not standing in for Georgetown again I hope–or heaven forbid, Cleveland.
Hey Biff you may be up to something there. A couple months ago they did some extensive filming on Lafayette and Adelphi. I mean hipsters and honeys everywhere but didn’t see anyone famous though. Oh well not even the weak dollar can help with that one……
Thanks Dave. And Citi actually lost $2.5B, but what’s $500MM amongst friends?
Biff…I never express hate. But I did like the saying.
Anyone know what movie they were filming on the (shut-down section of the subway racks at Hoyt-Schermerhorn about a month back? They changed the Hoyt signs along the walls to 42ND
