Late Fame
Last Seen: Thursday, January 23rd
Starring: Willem Dafoe, Sandra Hüller
The first arrival of 2025 is rumored to be an upcoming film starring Willem Dafoe (who most recently portrayed Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz in Nosferatu) and Sandra Hüller. On Thursday, January 23rd, film crews lined the 700 block of Bloomfield Street for the majority of the day, with most of the filming done inside various Bloomfield Street properties.
Called Late Fame, the movie "tells the story of Ed Saxberger (Dafoe), who wrote a book of poetry a long time ago that no one ever cared about. When a group of young artists rediscovers his work, he must reassess his genius. The wild card in the group is Gloria (Hüller), a talented and mercurial theatre actress who toys with affections and who is all set to be admired by Saxberger, this legendary figure from a gritty New York golden age,” per Variety.
This is a running list and we'll be updating it with more details as they unfold. Feel free to send any tips/photos/videos to @thehobokengirl on Instagram or [email protected].
