A movie set in Astoria!

Throughout my nearly 4 years here, I have walked through many streets being used for movie and TV shoots (just last week, I walked through the CW's "Gossip Girl", "Confessions of a Shopaholic" starring Isla Fisher, and "Duplicity" starring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, the last one yesterday in the Village.)

Today, on 30th Street in Astoria -- my neighborhood --- they are prepping to shoot a scene of "Julie & Julia". Here is a synopsis from www.imdb.com, as well as a photo of a famous Astoria building that I am sure will be in the background (above).

Synopsis:
The film follows Powell, a government employee who decides to cook her way through legendary cook Julia Child's classic cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in one year's time out of her small Queens kitchen. Powell blogs her daily experiences, gaining a loyal following along the way.
