With Columbia Pictures revealing that all of the production for Marc Webb's superhero sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is taking place in New York City, the first details of the location, set and some storyline hints have been uncovered by The Wall Street Journal. Here are some of the highlights from their article.
The movie began shooting Feb. 1 and will take 151 days to shoot, but just a few dozen will take place on locations in the city and upstate. They will spend one day filming in the real Times Square, but 50 to 65 days shooting on Long Island.
The film is being shot at Marcy Armory in Brooklyn, as well as at Long Island's Gold Coast Studios and Grumman Studios, both in Bethpage.
The set hints at life beyond high school, including a Columbia University dormitory room that appears to be outfitted for female freshman, with sparkly sneakers and film-noir posters.
To recreate the effect of Times Square's flashing lights, the producers brought in 16 cranes with lights and green screens. But at least one of the film's 40 sets thrusts back to an earlier time. The subway station the crew constructed in about six weeks features skylights and Art Deco columns that most closely resembled a station under City Hall that closed in 1945.
Spiderman will go to Rochester to film a chase scene because speed laws upstate aren't as restrictive as New York City's."
