Complaints about `Spider-Man’ Passover shoot reach Hollywood
The unit manager for the film “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and a local City Councilman are all hearing the complaints of Hasidic Jews in South Williamsburg about Columbia Pictures’ filming of the movie during Passover.
Columbia, the producers of the Spider-Man film, was still planning at press time to close off parking between March 22nd and March 27th around the Marcy Avenue Armory; although they had not received the necessary permits as of yet.
In addition to the noise and activity caused by the film crews, says Councilman Stephen Levin (D-Heights/Williamsburg), the main problem is that, as in most cases, residents would be asked to move their cars to make way for crew vehicles.
