Counting down to 'The Equalizer' day in the East Village

Photos by Steven 

Signs are posted around the neighborhood for tomorrow's shoot of "The Equalizer," the reboot now in its fourth season on CBS. 

The Queen Latifah actioner will be around Stuyvesant Street, Ninth Street ... and large swaths of First Avenue between St. Mark's Place and 14th Street, and Second Avenue between Seventh Street and 10th Street, among other blocks, per the signage. 

Also spotted: An "Equalizer" van!
And let's just flashback to the intro to the Edward Woodward years (1985-1989)... when New York was New York! 

Watching this is like reading a crime piece in the Post...

   

... and a hand for that opening theme by Stewart Copeland of the Police...

    I already parked my car taking into consideration that alternate side parking was suspended Friday and again tomorrow. When were those signs posted?

    I worked on the original "Equalizer" a lot. In a scene as a Court Officer chasing a very young Vincent Dinafrio out a courtroom, Ed Woodward knocked me flat on my ass, when he turned the wrong way during a rehearsal. He was old, but built like a refrigerator.

    I never worked with a film crew, but curious do they film in multiple spots or is this just one location. Considering they taken up a lot of street closures. I know its for the trucks which house their catered food and makeup.
