Surprise! 'Taxi Driver 2' isn't actually filming on St. Mark's Place now



Last Sunday we spotted those film-shoot signs for "Taxi Driver 2" on St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

Likely either a code name for another unrelated film or a gag. (Of course, Robert DeNiro has expressed interest in a "Taxi Driver" sequel.)

Anyway, per the above sign, crews were to be filming now. And St. Mark's Place has been film-crew free all weekend.



Meanwhile, Gothamist spotted "Annie Hall 2" film-shoot signs on the Upper East Side last week. (A source in The Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment told Gothamist that the signs were not related to any productions that have applied for filming permits.)

What next, signs for "Weekend at Bernie's II"? (Oh, right…)

    We had 'Godfather 4' signs up on Broome Street in Little Italy last week with the same Location Director, Chad, listed. Plot thickens.

    I'm sure they think it's cute - but they are asking for permission to disrupt the lives of everyone in the area - would telling the fucking truth on an official notice be too much trouble?

    Since they have invalid info on there, the permits are invalid, right?

    I imagine people in this area probably hate Taxi Driver. Robert DeNiro's character goes after the people who are always glamorized.
