Regular readers of FV know that we have a healthy appetite for our neighborhood's roles on screens big and small. But we're running out of productions to document and we know there are a lot more out there. So we're calling on our Flatbush neighbors to send in or leave in the comments section any tips you have about past, current, or future productions. Movies, TV shows, music videos- if it filmed in Flatbush, we want to know about it! If you have info about the actual houses used in the production or the specific scenes filmed in our neighborhood, even better! If you only know the name of the production, that's alright too. You tell us the movie and we'll do the dirty work.So send us your tips, please!

Bullet (1995/1996) with Mickey Rourke and Tupac Shakur was filmed in the neighborhood.
Rourke's character Butch "Bullet" Stein and his family lived in a house in the area. I forget the house but remember them filming.
The Pallbearer (1996) with Gwyneth Paltrow and David Schwimmer shot with main characters on Westminster Road and the Savages (2007) with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Lunney shot on Marlborough.
Also, there were two interstitial scenes for Eternal Sunshine shot on Dorchester. Originally they were going to shoot a complete location on Stratford but at the last minute they had a problem with the house. They moved the First unit to Ave D leaving a second unit to shoot some atmosphere shots in our area.
Within the past year, a piece called "The Electric Company" had fliers announcing that they'd be filming. If they ever got around to it, who knows.
Love the site!

Also, the Sopranos and a Verizon commercial shot here. (around E17th and...the one way road facing CIsland)
How does Futurama "film" in Brooklyn?! Must be the feature film adaptation?
I grew up in 150 Argyle - any pics of my old red brick house? Anything film there that anyone knows of (besides news footage of poor Marc Fisher's case)
