Robert DeNiro Will Film Movie In North Plainfield Starting April 7

NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — Robert DeNiro will be filming his new movie, "The Whisper Man," from April to June in North Plainfield, according to multiple media reports.

Filming starts April 7, and they will be filming on that date from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the area of Rockview Terrace and Greenbrook Road by Green Acres Park, MyCentralJersey reported. The newspaper obtained a letter from the production company notifying North Plainfield residents they would be filming on that date and times, and to expect road closures and possible closures to Green Acres Park.

The studio producer is Netflix. Michelle Monaghan and Adam Scott ("Parks and Recreation") are also in the cast.

They are also seeking extras to appear in the movie. Just email whisper@gwcnyc.com with the subject line "NJ Residents" to get information on how to be considered to appear as an extra. Extras will be paid.

One of the most lasting legacies of Gov. Phil Murphy's time in office (his term ends in January) are his efforts to make New Jersey a U.S. movie/TV production headquarters. The reason so many movies are filming in New Jersey is because Murphy revived the state's Film and Digital Media Tax Credit: Any movie filmed or produced in New Jersey gets a 35-percent reduction in their state taxes.

And that's why Murphy is giving Netflix a $387 million tax break to make Fort Monmouth in Eatontown their U.S. production headquarters. The Murphy administration previously said it would give any other film studio a 40-percent base tax credit on all production expenses if they make their headquarters in New Jersey, and stay here for at least 10 years.
