... that pizza sauce better be good, or else !

Oh well, they'd be packing up pretty soon anyway for Christmas. It's already December 18th (I'm in Christmas denial, so I have ignored the daily countdownb all through December).

And then, according to news, they'll be filming until January 28th. Probably only in NYC, then.

Poor Buffalonians. They were probably hoping for more scenes of Buffalo in the movie. All this fuss, and then they're there for just one week? I myself would have been pretty miffed. :-/

Edit: More about this here:

besides, I think most of the crew is NY based, so... well... it kinda makes sense to shoot the indoor scenes in NYC.

I doubt if they get a similar tax cut in NYC, and I don't think most of the NYC-based crew live close to the filming locations so they'll probably need hotel rooms anyway. And hotels are ridiculously expensive in NYC. Then again, Our Man will probably be staying at his own apartment by Central Park, so they'll save the cost of his hotel bill for the remainder of the shoot.

OK, let's see now. They'll need a jail and a courtroom. They'll need a theatre. They probably shot all the tunnel-digging scenes in Buffalo. They did the exterior shoot for the bank robbery, but they still need to shoot the robbery itself. And the toll booth scene. And Henry/Debbie in their house at the beginning of the movie. Henry's apartment after getting released from prison. And Henry standing outside the bank thinking about robbing it, as well as several short street scenes in Buffalo.

What else?

And yes, journalism doesn't seem to include research anymore. Or did it ever?

Edit: and here's an article about how Buffalo wants to use the HC buzz to sell itself as an interesting movie location:

Keanu & crew are now filming in Tarrytown, New York. He was spotted downtown only a few hours ago according to someone on Twitter. Good to know that they're back at work. Just hope it isn't as cold there as it was in Buffalo.

Edit: I'm @inkhuldra on Twitter, in case anyone else is there. :-)

"Henry's Crime with Keanu Reeves and James Caan is filming in Tarrytown NY for the next few days, at corner of Main St and Rte 9 in an abandoned bank bldg in the center of town. Shooting moves after that to Tarrytown Music Hall, a 125 yr old theater a block away."

I'm wondering: Doesn't it say in the script that Henry has a beard when they start rehearsing the play? The Tarrytown Music Hall is obviously the location for the play, and Keanu was completely smooth-shaven as lately as yesterday. Dang! Looks like only the smoothie-fans get him the way they want him in this movie. I demand beardness in the next one!
