On Location:  SPIDER-MAN 3

     This past weekend (June 17-18, 2006), I had the pleasure of being in New York City  to celebrate my birthday.  What a weekend it was, attending the James Bond Memorabilia auction at Planet Hollywood, enjoying fine dining, cigars and all the usual fun we have on our many frequent trips to the city.   However, the morning of Sunday the 18th had a special surprise in store, for as we were walking down Broadway near Times Square, we could see a movie unit being set up.  The clincher to hang about was when I spotted an ID badge around a production assistant's neck:  SPIDER-MAN 3.

     I would be misleading my readers if I implied I was there in an official capacity; however, when a photo-op presents itself, a photographer armed with a camera instantly goes into "must-get-some-good-shots" mode.  I think I did.

The prep time was longer than the filming time. Will Peter Parker ever drive a car?  Looks like more moped transportation for Peter Parker.  Identical mopeds await action in NYC's Times Square.  Note the college book bundle in the back rack of each.  Background extras mill about behind the moped awaiting instructions for the scene.
