Where the Wild Things Are in Atwater Village

THANKS TO an alert reader, check out this behind-the-scenes look at the making of a segment of "Where the Wild Things Are." It was shot here on Edenhurst Avenue in Atwater Village, fog machine and all. And that's director Spike Jonze in the white shirt and tie who eventually goes skateboarding by (at around the 4:20 mark) trying to inspire the canine actor behind the fence. WTWTA comes out on DVD March 2.

Green Hornet Invades Atwater Village

View Green Hornet Filming Locations in a larger map

FILMING CONTINUES Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights this week for Michel Gondry's Green Hornet feature film, starring Seth Rogen.

Friends of Atwater Village posts the specific locations -- here's a map -- mostly along Riverside Drive but also on Fletcher Drive (basically where Pulp Fiction was shot in Atwater Village) Oct. 12-14, 6:00pm to 6:00am.

The kids at the Riverglen Apartments should get great views of the action, though possibly little sleep, the next few nights. Expect, for example, "automatic gunfire, explosions ... and use of ramps to simulate rollover."
