'Gotham' To Film Army Shootout At Brooklyn Navy Yard Tuesday
The hoards of soldiers shooting at each other in Brooklyn today are just actors, police said.
CLINTON HILL, BROOKLYN -- Bullets will not fly in the Brooklyn Navy Yards Tuesday, but it might sound like it, according to police.
A production crew for the television show 'Gotham' will film a "soldier type" scene near the factory building at 63 Flushing Ave. between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Oct. 30, according to police and casting calls.
Casting directors have sent a callout for non-union extras to come portray soldiers types with clean shaves and short, buzzed hair.
