Filming of action sequences will take place over a twenty-block area which includes Liberty Avenue, Grant Street, Boulevard of the Allies and Market Square/Street in Pittsburgh.

Downtown property owners, residents and merchants received letters informing them of the planned mayhem.

Our scenes include daytime exterior dialogue with precision driving and special effects. Our special effects include but are not limited to gunfire, sparks, squib hits, smoke, debris, air mortars and controlled pyrotechnic blasts," the movie's location managers wrote, in five pages of details about various street closures and other restrictions.


The Post Gazette also reports that filming begins on August 10 on Oliver Avenue. There won't be any pyrotechnics involved but Oliver Ave. and Smithfield St. will be covered with snow.
