Don't worry, once they got the establishing shoots covered, I'm sure they start doubling NYC up in Toronto.

They don't care. Same thing happens here in LA. There is a 50's style Diner next door to my office and every once in a while they use it for a shoot. The production company comes in, they take over every long term parking lot in town, thereby forcing everyone who works here to park in 2 hour parking spaces. We have to shuttle our cars around every 2 hours. And to add insult to injury they put on an extra parking enforcement person to ticket people who do not move their cars every 2 hours while the shoot is going on.

About time. The Bourne Movies are among the better ive seen.

Matt Damon is also one of my favorites. Read a lot of Robert Ludlums stuff. Hes a genious.
Whats the name of the third movie?

I heard similar from a place used in Malibu.. They had a sweeping gone with the wind stairway in the entrance.. They were used for shoots a few times and every time caused damage that was more than just small stuff..

I have been working on the NY part of Bourne for about 4 weeks. I think that you will be quite impressed with the scene that takes place in your neighborhood (although it will be a very quick moment in screen time). They were being a little more cautious with pedestrians because of the car chase stuff. I know its a pain though.

I am new to the board and a huge fan. I will introduce myself when this job finishes up.

My connection with Thailand, and thus this board, starts with a film that I worked on in Chiang Mai in November called "American Gangster".
