We were all worked up for nothing. There's this huge banner covering the whole side of a building across the street from Daredevil Tattoo showing a huge mall to be built complete with a roller coaster and luxury stores. The way this neighborhood is going what with skyscrapers being built on the corner, fancy hotels popping up left and right we were worried. But it turns out it was all for show. They were filming for the new JJ Abrams movie some call Cloverfield. I don't know if you've seen the trailer it's the one with all the hipsters hanging out when the city suddenly gets attacked by some sort of monster. The fun continued with more filming over on Orchard Street on Monday night . They destroyed the block, crushed some cars littered the area with debris and brought in firetrucks, ambulances, police and filled the air with fake dust. Gawker posted some pictures and reports to inform the gullible hipsters that it's not a real mall going up. I just hope the sign doesn't give anyone any ideas for that empty lot. Gothamist also posted pictures of the devastation .
