The Lower East Side and Chinatown have a movie gig tomorrow: starring as the sets for scenes from the upcoming Warner Bros.’ feature film “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.”
For residents and visitors to the neighborhood, it may mean a chance to stargaze at members of the top-shelf cast (Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman and James Gandolfini). But it also means some serious Monday parking headaches.
Signs went up along Grand Street this weekend advising drivers about 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. tow zones along 11 stretches of local streets, including Orchard Street between Broome and Hester, Allen Street between Division and Grand and the Bowery between Delancey and Canal.
The movie has been filming in the city for several months. Based on the 2005Â novel of the same name by Jonathan Safran Foer, and directed by Stephen Daldry, it tracks the adventures of grief-stricken 9-year-old boy whose father was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.
