The Soprano's want to use my house for filming.

I just heard from him and it does not sound like they are going to use it. The shot there looking for can not be done with my house.
I can now say they wanted to do a hit on the stairs. They are now looking into other ventures or changing the script. BTW they are saying 8 finale episodes. You will be hearing a possible extra show added.

Can't film a good hit with a wall in the way.....

Oh, too bad.......

You never know what the future may bring. They are aware of your home, and perhaps they will want to use it, in the future.

I just got a call from The Sopranos. My house did in fact come closer than I had thought in fact it might still be in it as quick shot. They ended up picking my Neighbor who is 2 houses down because he took the wall down in front of the stairs. Another point was his house is more of a plain house and mine would not have fit the character of the person living inside. I was told that they might still get a quick neighborhood view and that they might need to put up lighting on my property.

The film crew was here at 7:30 this morning to take measurement's. They said they will need to rent my driveway for sure. I guess they need it most likely for the lights and camera. There is still a chance that my house might get in a quick shot if they decide they want the men to walk from my side. They are coming back next Thursday for set design and the filming will be on Friday afternoon the 26th to 2 am. I believe they might be making snow as well. I was talking to my neighbor this morning, He does not have HBO and has never even watched the show. He did say that years ago that the show Rescue me wanted to use his yard but nothing ever came of it.

I just signed off on them using my driveway for as I said most likely for lights and camera. The episode will be aired on week 8. There is still a chance that my house will be in a quick view shot.

They pushed filming back a week to Friday Feb 2. I now have to call all my friends to tell them not to come until next week.

Hi Frank,
I followed this thread with interest. Too bad they are not using the interior, but it should still be great fun to have them so close, to be able to watch the filming and see the cast. How exciting!

If you see Silvio, say hello to him for me. I've run into him a few times; here we are when he was an MC at the Beatles Fab 40th at the Hard Rock a few years ago.

Well it has begone. They had a guy sleeping in a car last night putting a cone in front of the house that the car moved out from. They just called me to tell me that they are moving the time up and that there trucks are coming at 7am. They want to block my driveway but I do not want them to block it until after 8:30am. They now have to work around that since they were not suppose to start before 11am.

BTW, I have a lot of friends and family coming for a Sopranos party, so if you are in the area please feel free to stop by for a drink or twp or three.

Frank,

That is so exciting, you and your friends/family are going to have a blast.

I am having some furniture delivered tomorrow, otherwise, I would have taken a ride, and had a drink with you. I would love to have seen them in action.

Have fun, take pictures, and get autographs.

This place is a zoo right now. I went out there and told them, "You need all this, I can get the same results with a Digicam" That had the crew cracking up. I am in the wrong business , You have to see the spread of food they have.

I just took some pictures and will upload them tomorrow when they are done. I was told that they do not want picture taking later on when they are filming. In fact I do not think they even want pictures of the actors that are in the scene taken.

If anybody is near queens let me know your welcome to my little Sopranos party tonight.
