Tom Cruise's "Vanilla Sky" has been the only movie ever to get permission to shut down entire Times Square for shooting a movie, they paid $1 million and got 3 hours on a sunday morning to film Cruise running around in a dream sequence hallucinating an empty Times Square.
@thom_weights
shit like this was more special before we had 9 months of it
there are moments at 4-5am on Sundays where Times Square is almost that dead, sun is coming up but all the building lights are still on and itβs beautiful
