A major motion picture is being filmed in the most unlikely of places – an old AT&T building in White Plains, NY.
We’ve just learned the Untitled Steven Spielberg Project, starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, will be filming in the AT&T building, near Route 22/North Broadway and Barker Ave -Hamilton Ave in White Plains, for the next few weeks.
After The Washington Post and New York Times both released portions of the papers, the U.S. Department of Justice obtained a temporary restraining order against any further publication because they felt it was detrimental to U.S. national security. The two papers joined together to fight the order in court and won in the Supreme Court which ruled the government had failed to prove harm to national security, and that the publication was within the papers’ First Amendment rights. Though it is set in the 1970s, the movie’s themes seem especially timely given today’s political climate.
The currently Untitled Steven Spielberg Project movie was going by The Paper and is now using the working title Nor’easter.
There is no word as to what scenes they are filming in the building but, we would assume – since it is an old office building – that they have recreated the Washington Post offices inside.

The outside looks slightly like the actual Washington Post building in DC. Maybe they will shoot the outside of it. Remember that SALT faked exteriors of the nearby County office building to double as DC, so maybe this project will shoot in the same vicinity as these are 1970’s era buildings.
