Playing Santa, Arnold Schwarzenegger looks for his magic bag outside Veselka

Crews were set up today outside Veselka on Second Avenue and Ninth Street, filming scenes for Amazon MGM's holiday movie, "The Man With the Bag." 

An EVG reader shared these photos...
... including a quick shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger in costume as — Santa Claus...
The plot for the action comedy, per IMDB: "When Santa's magic bag is stolen, he turns to his naughty list to find Vance, a former thief, to help him get it back." 

Production trucks were also set up along Tompkins Square Park today. 

Veselka, whose location credits include "Ocean's 8," will be closed today.
