Hollywood in Prospect Park

"Bachelorette," starring Kirsten Dunst and James Marsden is being filmed in Prospect Park.

Hollywood is making Brooklyn its home. 

For the past couple of weeks Prospect Park has been swarming with big movie trailers, event staff, cameras, crew and actors.

"Bachelorette," written and directed by Leslye Headland, who is a playwright by training, wrote the TV show “Terriers,” but has now moved on to the silver screen, has been shot at the Picnic House and in tents around Long Meadow.
