Lights Camera Action: Entertainment News from Mid Hudson
Motorists traveling through Putnam County might have faced some unexpected road closures on Route 9D and Indian Brook Road recently. Both roads were shut down from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. between Dicks Castle and Beverly Warren Road, as well as Indian Brook Road under the Route 9D overpass. The reason? A motion picture was being filmed in the area.
The film in question is an Apple TV+ series called ‘Minivan or Off Weeks’, featuring stars like Ben Stiller, Jessica Chastain, and Richard Gere. In the series, Stiller plays a divorced writing professor navigating the challenges of co-parenting during his custody weeks.
During the overnight shoot, which involved filming exterior scenes and stunt work, Cold Spring is set to receive $18,500 from Apple TV, while Philipstown will be reimbursed $21,650 for the inconvenience caused by the road closures.
So, if you were one of the motorists caught off guard by the road closures, now you know the reason behind the inconvenience. It’s all part of bringing this exciting new series to life on screen.
