Bobby's Back in Town

Robert De Niro will be back in town soon filming scenes from Everybody’s Fine at the crappy 1960’s office tower turned luxury condos The Metropolitan on Summer St. The penthouse suite is the stand in for Drew Barrymore’s digs. Drew dates Justin “I’m a Mac” Long who grew up in nearby Fairfield. She was seen out with him at the SBC in Fairfield over Thanksgiving, what’s the chance she’ll be down for some Thursday karaoke at the SBC Downtown?

I believe this is De Niro’s third recent flick filming here. The first was What Just Happened? with locations at YouGotNails on Bedford St and an office building on Atlantic St. The second was with Al Pacino in the model kitchen of the Trump sales office below Target for Righteous Kill.

There’s still some considerable debate over what if any lasting economic impact they’ll be from the influx of movie production in the area lured in by state tax credits. Did any man feel safe the day Steven Seagal roamed our streets?
