[Updated] In which we don't have any idea of what happened


So Bobby Williams spotted this blue tarp covering something in the middle of Tompkins Square Park this afternoon...


And just like that, two people showed up to uncover it...


... then a film crew appeared out of nowhere...


... and the actors...



...and they all left just as quickly once the rained kicked in.

Any guesses except what this really was are welcome.

Updated 10-3:

Oh, a blog friend says that it was a Bruce Weber commercial for Dior.

    Oh my god they're finally doing the Richie Rich remake with Jude Law as Cadbury the butler!!!!

    I have no idea who the kid is, but he looks fantastic as Richie, the poor little rich boy whose massive fortune is tiny compared to his huge heart.

    Looks like a bank commercial or something like that.

    This must be the "Different Strokes" theatrical film adaptation
