The Times Square portion of the seven-acre New York backlot. The filmmakers re-created the street level practically and built the height of the city digitally. Greenscreens measuring 25'x100' allowed for CG street extensions and were lit with inverted waterproofed groundrows.

They all had a healthy workout after two weeks!” | ||
