I knew where to head for 1st day of filming as I’d seen twitter posts of NY street furniture. I was there way too early but could see all the film set dressers at work changing street signs, covering road markings, adding graffiti & bringing American vehicles onto the street set
You could just wander around the streets seeing them change before your eyes.
I took advantage of that. And I was in place early enough to see the Director (Blue Beanie) doing his walk about on set checking the authenticity & walking through the film directions for the shoot

I was luckily enough to find a wonderful artisan coffee shop on the set with a great outdoor view
I had a couple of cups alternating chatting to random people. And reading @iwishiwasbella Obsession novel
Rather fitting on set I thought

We didn’t know if Jared was in town at this point. But just watching all the extra’s & the cars filming up & down the street was exciting. It was all so new to us. This was as good as it got on 1st day. And realised by 2nd day that J was skulking down the street out of sight 
We still didn’t know if Jared was even here. But they couldn’t possibly have spent all this money and set dressing just for film extras.
There were many Jared look a likes and it was good one girl had a great camera lens as she was able to zoom in and rule out look a likes!!

I hung around much later & had a chance sighting down a back alley where they were filming. There was one guy at a distance who looked like Jared: same build, same height, same walk. Hood up on what looked like a dark puffer coat & walking through the scene with Blue Beanie
If anyone remembers this vid the day before ‘Jared walks’ this was literally where we were stood at one point
You take your chances & can only make decisions on the info on the ground & what you can suss out at the time
Had a good first day. Found my Morbius Posse that day

For Day 2 & principal filming, I got there quite early as ear to the ground intel told us shooting started from 9.30. The roads closed from this time but what we didn’t realise was had set dressing for couple of hours and first call (for the extras) was not until 11.30 
A bit of hanging around watching progress of the street dressing. Difficult to know where best to stand on the street set. The street was public access & we couldn’t be removed. But they could ask us to move & keep access clear for health & safety issues. So shunted around on set
Press reports from the previous night said Jared was still in London & this could be secondary shooting
Word on the street from the security guys was that principal shooting started today
The build up , the chase & the anticipation was the best

Blue Beanie turned up & when you watch things long enough you can see things happening. Half an hour after the arrival of Adria’s car, they subtly cleared the way for another car. And with 6 bottles of water in glass bottles carried across set - we guessed they must be for Jared
And we were rewarded
with Jared right by us leaving the car to set
He had on a big hood and was shaded by a big golfing brolly, but it was definitely him
First official sighting of Morbius

I didn’t have the best view as filming action took place further down the street
Couldnt really see Jared too much on set but saw what was happening through social posts from the shops opposite
Jared skulking around looking gorgeous in black & grey. And WALKING and DRINKING

My view point gave a great view of deep background action of cars & extras going up & down. And the odd glimpses of Jared.
I knew he was coming back as a plate of food was brought to car. Couldnt quite see what the food was but I’m assuming it was usual Jared stuff in tin foil

I tried to be all cool when he returned to the car but somehow ‘We love you Jared’ escaped my lips
He did fixate his gaze on me as he walked up so close to the car
I want to believe that there’s a slight smirk on his face - I stared into the face of Morbius and survived

My vid didn’t show it so clearly but this is the Leto stare just for me 
I haven’t even got to the point where we snuck overlooking the closed set and saw some of rehearsals 
Afternoon of first day of principal shooting:
Quizzed our nice security guys how long a shift they were on - long day with filming til small hours of the morning
Scouted around for likely filming locations - looked out for usual to/fro of set dressing, security & crew.

No one was giving any info away at all
Sussed out a couple of likely spots where there was some activity
And also walked around the backlot area where they parked up all the set cars
The most likely filming was to be at the set dressed NY Subway location

Street with the Subway had limited viewing access being in a narrow, long enclosed street. I realised that we needed to get up into a building to get a decent view of the set
Blagged it into a hotel - just got in the lift to see if you could get sight of set from the stairwell

The hotel was prime viewing location and looked over the subway station set - had the best view of the night
Closed set as much as they could make in a public street with huge screens at either end. So a privileged position - ok’d by chief security guy saying we could watch

Blue beanie turned up so they were definitely gonna be filming that evening
There was a massive green light on a huge crane so we were assuming this was going to give atmospheric lighting.
Had best view of the subway, but couldn’t see all of set which was out of line of sight

Briefly got to see Jared again - he must have snuck into the subway location incognito but suddenly saw him talking in the doorway with Blue Beanie
He’d got his big blue bubble coat on and was definitely trying to keep a low profile and vanished out of sight again

We got to see Matt Smith rehearsing scenes just below us with the director. I couldn’t believe it. He was so close.
The red pages were the script and the scene was quite a confrontational
