Hollywood comes to Providence

PROVIDENCE – You can catch a taste of Hollywood today outside City Hall and at Kennedy Plaza, as the CBS series Waterfront gears up for filming this afternoon.

They're filming this afternoon and will continue until dusk, according to Jenny Peek, the city's film manager in the Department of Art, Culture & Tourism.

Then, they’ll move over near the Convention Center for additional shooting, she said.

Although Peek said bystanders may be asked to step to the side to stay out of the shoot, there are plenty of opportunities to watch the action. No streets will be closed, and there will just be “intermittent traffic control,” she said.

Monday, the crew will be back inside City Hall. That means the oversized trucks will be lined up once again near the Rhode Island Foundation.

The series stars Joe Pantoliano, as the charismatic but sometimes shady Mayor Jimmy Centrella, and William Baldwin as an ambitious attorney general. Waterfront was picked up by CBS as a midseason replacement and should air early next year.
