I have even more respect for Vilmos because of something that
happened at that apartment a few months ago, John. Frank
Darabont and a crew from NBC wanted to shoot part of a TV
pilot called RAINES in the apartment. They scouted it, then
deemed it too small. They didn't think they could get enough
angles. They asked me what was different in the place that
had made it smaller since '73 and I showed them that the only
changes were the fact that a few cabinet doors had been taken
off back then to give the feeling of a more open space. The
work area was unchanged. The crew in 1973 obviously had to
deal with much bulkier equipment than Frank's crew would have
been working with, but they managed to get through it all
without too much strain. Darabont finally decided to build
the apartment on a set and just shoot exteriors at High Tower
(using our pad as video village).
These kids nowadays....
Glad you're a fellow fan of TLG.
