Hey folks, Harry here... I have nothing but absolute fear for this project... THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE is one of those... perfect films, and the idea of a remake of a film so specifically tied to a precise point in history... then taking it out of that time period... A bit worried. I hope this works out for Jonathan, I truly do... I'm just nervous about classics being remade...

As much as I hate the idea of this movie and remakes in general I found this fascinating. The Manchurian Candidate has been filming in Times Square. They have constructed a set which is still there for future filming. It is a campaign headquarters for Liev Schreiber's character and his running-mate. The building is on Broadway between 42nd and 43rd Street, it is the building that used to house the Time Warner store. On Friday I saw them filming several scenes which included a campaign rally outside the set, many interior set-ups, and some car interiors outside. I saw Schreiber, Jonathan Demme, and even DP Tak Fujimoto who photographed such movies as The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. I encorage anyone who is in the area to check out the set which you can walk right up to, and maybe even see some filming. It is pretty rare to have such easy access to a big budget production such as this, so I will be there as much as possible.
