It’s raining, it’s pouring and production is snoring – meaning that no filming is going on right now.

Curious to see if production was going smoothly for the cast and crew of Little Fockers, the upcoming movie featuring Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller, I took a 3 walk block from my flat to check out the production site. I spoke to some security guards and one gaffer (electrician) who told me that filming would continue on Sheridan as soon as the rain subsided. Tomorrow maybe?!

At the intersection of Irving Park and Sheridan, the star trailers and honey wagon (i.e. bathrooms) are set up in a parking lot usually used for Cubs games. The gate is shut to the parking lot and there are no people in the area.

I am going to make it my mission to talk to the Location Manager to see why they have chosen the Uptown/Lakeview part of Chicago to film in and try to get answers – stay tuned for more!
