Paul Giamatti’s “Billions” To Film In Park Slope Next Week
filming: billions


Another year, another round of film shoots in the neighborhood, and one of the first looks like a biggie: A Showtime pilot about the financial world called Billions, starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways, American Splendor) and Damian Lewis (Homeland).

Deadline explains the show:

…is a fictional drama that takes a close look at the world of high finance by tracking the approaching collision between two titanic figures — the hard charging, whip-smart U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhodes (Giamatti), and the brilliant, ambitious hedge fund king Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Lewis).

No word yet on when it’s scheduled to hit the air.

Cars will need to be moved from 7th Avenue between 2nd and 5th Streets by Wednesday, February 4 at 4pm, and filming will take place on Thursday, February 5 from about 9am-6pm. If you find your car has been relocated, contact Audra at 646-863-7460.
