Robert De Niro spotted in North Jersey filming new Netflix movie
New Jersey welcomed one of Hollywood's biggest stars this week as Robert De Niro was in Paterson Thursday filming the new Netflix movie "The Whisper Man."
Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh posted a picture of himself with De Niro on Facebook announcing the Oscar-winning actor was in Paterson. The filming of the new crime-thriller occurred right behind city hall, Sayegh said.
"The two-time Academy Award winner was in Paterson filming a new movie today. Our city continues to attract major motion pictures and is considered by many as being Hollywood East!" said Sayegh in his Facebook post.
Filming for "The Whisper Man" is also set to take place in a historic building in Montclair between May 19 and 27, reported Montclair Local.
The actor known for his iconic roles in "Goodfellas," "The Godfather Part II," "Taxi Driver," and many more, is not the only star to arrive in the Garden State.
Movies such as "Happy Gilmore 2," "A Complete Unknown," and an unreleased Bruce Springsteen biopic are just a few movies that were filmed in New Jersey in the past year. Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet made their presence known in the Garden State. Sandler even took a photo with the Hackensack Police Department. Sydney Sweeney has also been filming locally.
