“Friday afternoon, on the Baltimore set of our production ‘Lady in the Lake’ prior to the arrival of the cast and crew, per their call time, a driver on our production crew was confronted by two men, one of whom brandished a gun directed at our driver, and then fled the location,” the statement read. “The leaders of the production decided to err on the side of caution and reschedule the shoot after they found another location,” Baltimore Police Department spokesman James Moses told The Baltimore Banner.Įndeavor Content, the studio responsible for the limited series, released a statement to Deadline late Sunday addressing the alleged incident. The producers refused to pay and decided to shut down production to ensure the cast and crew’s safety on the set. The group allegedly threatened to shoot someone connected with the production if filming on the production didn’t stop and demanded producers pay $50,000 to be able to safely return to filming, according to Variety. Production came to an abrupt halt Friday after a crew member of the television series, which is being adapted from a Laura Lippman novel of the same name, reported being approached by a group around 4 p.m. “Baltimore has great crews and great locations and we work hard to see that every production has the best possible experience while working here.” We are working with production to see that every set, every shot, every day is safe,” he said. “The safety and well-being of our crew, as well as the entire production, are always paramount. O’Ferrall, whose union represents crew members working in special effects, set construction, costumers and other crafts, said he could not provide any additional detail but did commend the city of Baltimore, where the filming is taking place.

“The production has, as they said increased security, and is moving forward,” O’Ferrall said in an email. O’Ferrall, business agent for the IATSE Local 487 union, confirmed to that production was back up for the limited crime series, starring Natalie Portman.
