J. Lo on My Block (Well, Pretty Close Anyway)
I'm not a big fan of celebrity gossip but when you run into a movie set in your own neighborhood it sometimes bears mentioning. I was on my way home from work today when I saw a big crowd of people gathering on E 104th St, which I usually walk down because it's a really nice block. Pink "no parking" NYPD flyers were plastered on every available tree and a slew of trailers lined the street between Lexington and Third Ave.
(If you're a frequent reader (or watcher, rather) of my photoblog you may have seen some blurry photos I took of the same block when it was being used as a set for Law & Order almost exactly two years ago. A small scene for the Olsen twins' "New York Minute" was also shot close by.)
I took a quick look at one of the flyers and it turns out that the movie is an independent film called "El Cantante" which stars Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. That would explain the small crowd of spectators and photographers gathered around one of the trailers as I walked past this afternoon. I'm not sure how long they'll be in my 'hood but fans might want to stop by and try to catch a glimpse.
After a fire started under her trailer last week when they were filming elsewhere in the city she might be interested to know that there were some big explosions that happened two blocks north of the set early Saturday morning.
