Some Brooklyn Heights neighbors fuming over ‘Homeland’ car fire
FDNY: Effects 'standard for film shoots'
Residents of Brooklyn Heights are used to production companies taking over their parking spaces and clogging the neighborhood’s streets and sidewalks as they film movies, commercials and TV shows.
But Sunday’s filming of the TV series “Homeland,” starring Claire Danes, was a bit too much, some said.
Locals aren’t complaining about the explosions and sniper fire on Schermerhorn Street on an otherwise peaceful Sunday. (All to be expected.) Nor are they making a fuss about pitched battles between large numbers of extras dressed as uniformed police, military officers and protesters. (Hey, it’s Brooklyn.)
