“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” Filming on Orchard Today
The postcard Lower East Side block – Orchard between Broome and Delancey – has some filming activities coming its way today. Little over a month after fake SWAT teams invaded the street for Now You See Me, crews will assemble in the same space for the remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
