Who knows? Steven Spielberg's movie was being filmed in the AT&T building near Route 22/North Broadway and Barker Ave -Hamilton Ave in White Plains NY for 2 weeks in early June too.

It's cheaper in a lot of cases and(unless you're from there or know the town well for some reason) you're not gonna know any different

Got to give Clint Eastwood credit for casting the solders who were real life heroes in his next movie, about, well them in the Paris train Terror attack.
Hollywood used to give real life heroes a chance by casting them, instead Hollywood cast gym junkies with the right acting school credentials.
Primarily I believe this is because of hollywoods prejudice about soldiers being dumb. Most don't know Colonels and generals are very highly educated with sometime multiple PHDs. Even enlisted and officers are no idiots.

When you see New York in a movie,it's usually Toronto-this has been the case for a while..even when they couldn't edit out landmarks like the CN tower(they're really good at what they do!)

Lana Wood suffers from health issues of her own, including arthritis. She claimed doctors have tried numerous treatments, but nothing has provided long-term relief.

“I literally live in pain 24/7,” she said. “It’s degenerative and there’s nothing that at my stage that can be done… Unfortunately, I lived with it for a very long time and I just kept my mouth shut, which is probably not the smartest thing to do. So now I’m dealing with it on both knees. I’ve been told I have absolutely no cartilage left on my neck. My hands are a nightmare. And I’m just waiting to see what else starts hurting at this point… Unfortunately, there’s just nothing that can be done about that. I’m just trying to deal with it the best I can. You take your high blood pressure medicine, a lot of vitamins, and hope for the best.”

Wood and her family have since left the motel and are living in “an adorable little place.” She credited donations from the GoFundMe campaign for giving her family a new start. Many fans wondered why Robert Wagner, her sister’s husband and a famous Hollywood actor, hasn’t stepped in to help. Wood shared there hasn’t been any contact between Wagner or any of Natalie's daughters.

The part about Craig being the money spinner definitely sounds like a parody to me.

We will see how accurate the predictions have been.

I hope it's not Kris Marshall, though I will give him a chance if it is. After all, his character in Love Actually was supposed to be annoying, so maybe he'll play The Doctor differently.

He was Stargate Daniel Jackson-ish (1994 -James Spader) in Death in Paradise, I could see some possibilities for Doctorishness, however I would rather somebody else. Just hope the BBC is not going for gender equality because they will screw-up the show up, not that Moffat and RTD have not had a go at. (Moffat ended two series with essentially cute lesbian couples in space, we get your kink already Steven.)

Am I missing something about David Bradley's 1st Doctor? I though he was decent, so many are lavishing praise on him as if Bill Hartnell had come back to life. I simply do not see it. He is good, not Hartnell good.

It's descent has begun quickly

Deadline.com: Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: Homecoming is estimated to file $47.4M in weekend 2 which is lower than the industry expected, but its 60% slide is on par with the second weekend declines of Amazing Spider-Man 2 (-61%) and Spider-Man 3 (-62%). Wonder Woman will see its fifth ease into the thirty-percentile range this weekend with an estimated $6.6M. She’s chasing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to become this summer’s highest grossing film. By Sunday, Warner Bros./DC’s warrior princess will be $5.8M shy of overtaking the Star-Lord gang. Cavill

Affleck

Gal Gadot

Bradley was very good as Hartnell in An Adventure in Time and Space. I hope the Christmas special doesn't feature Reece Shearsmith as the Second Doctor, though. I found his Troughton impersonation in that film singularly unconvincing.

Spidy got unlucky coming up against one of the best ape movies. Possibly best sci-fi movie this year. If this spidy can only do as well as Garfield's it's not really helping Sony much.

Spectator.org: Frank Schell: None of these forebears of Craig would say that they were just in it for the money. While this defiance may play well with the disgruntled, it is out of sync with the spirit of Hollywood, which purports to entertain, uplift, and enlighten. It is also counter to traditional British values such as service and sacrifice. Unfortunately, while Daniel Craig may be a hero to a new Old Navy millennial generation that is not Savile Row literate, he is nonetheless unschooled in the behaviors expected of genteel British operatives. With a brooding and surly demeanor, it is quite evident in his films that, as in real life, Craig really doesn’t like his job and resents his handlers deeply. It seems that he does not believe in anything — except perhaps, his next fistfight.

The implication is that Daniel Craig might benefit from an array of helpful human resources specialists to arrange outplacement services. Self-discovery is a personal odyssey, and no one should be forced to be Bond against his or her will. The simple truth is that if Craig doesn’t want to be Bond, he should not have to be Bond. Being Bond just for the money demeans the pound sterling, the British Intelligence Service, global audiences, and Bond aspirants everywhere — an attitude like this might even inhibit recruitment by the Central Intelligence Agency. And we don’t need a Bond who seems to be doing us a favor by being Bond.

It is too late in the world for unhappy spies. Craig should be given the resources to allow him to achieve his human potential elsewhere. A grateful constituency should engage a premier outplacement firm to evaluate Craig’s strengths and limitations, and assess his strategic fit in various industries and capacities, and compassionately construct a plan for his personal development.

when I read a smack down that hurts me right in the thesaurus one name comes to mind. Poor Craig is probably stuck sounding out the first sentence. If he comes across a legitimate DB rant he just curls up in the fetal position.
