A month after shooting Christmas scenes at Congee Village and 169 Bar, Seth Rogen’s new comedy is now traveling north of Delancey. “No parking” signs are in place on Clinton Street and as far east as Pitt. More big budget action.
The film – written and directed by Jonathan Levine – focuses on three childhood friends who reunite in New York City to uphold their annual tradition of partying on Christmas Eve. Further plot details beyond that premise are scant at best. It stars Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon Levitt.
