April is an exciting month for movie filming in Hoboken. Last year, there were many sightings of filming and celebrities throughout the year, including Steven Yeun, Timothée Chalamet, and Jeremy Allen White filming or simply exploring the city. As the weather turns warmer, what’s filming in Hoboken this year?
The most recent filming of The Family McMullen was last seen on the week of April 21. It follows a close-knit family navigating through life while confronting personal struggles and evolving bonds. As they face unexpected challenges, their relationships are tested.
It is directed by Edward Burns and stars Michael McGlone, John El-Jor, and Bryan Fitzgerald.
The Netflix rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, Office Romance, was last seen filming on April 21 at Marshall Street and previously seen at Mile Square on April 7. Lopez was previously seen at Hoboken last year where she was filming the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman at Elysian Cafe. The movie is about Jackie, the president and CEO of Air Cruz, who runs a tight ship on her business, including a strict anti-fraternization policy for all her employees. However, the policy is tested when a new lawyer begins working for her.
On April 14, film crews for The Whisper Man were spotted between Bloomfield and Garden Streets between 8th and 10th Street. The crew will film all over New Jersey, and in March, Grant Wilfley Casting was actively looking for New Jersey locals of all genders and ethnicities as extras. It is a Netflix film based on Alex North’s novel. A widowed crime writer works with his estranged father, a retired police detective, to find his young son. However, they soon discover that the case has a hidden connection with the murder committed by the serial killer known as “The Whisper Man.”
Finally, from the end of March to the end of April, The Florist was filming in Hoboken and Jersey City. Dennis Quaid, one of the main actors, was last seen filming in Jersey City on April 2. The action thriller centered around Carl Rikker, a florist and assassin who finds himself protecting a young girl in danger.
Other celebrity sightings in Hoboken are surprisingly frequent; Jeremy Allen White has been spotted patronizing a number of cafès in the city since last October. It isn’t confirmed whether his presence is related to the filming of a Bruce Springsteen biopic, in which White is set to star as the singer-songwriter.
If you are looking for theatres to watch said movies, one spot is the AMC at Newport Centre 11. It’s only 30 minutes away and accessible through the light rail. Or, if you are looking for somewhere in the city, there is a Regal theater in Times Square and is accessible through the NJ Transit buses towards Port Authority Terminal station.
