A scene from the pilot of Alcatraz - being filmed on Filbert Street, between Hyde and Leavenworth today - will result in some street closures today and pseudo-gunfire.
Filming will start from noon to 7 p.m., but the streets will be shutdown for most of the day until 7 p.m.
The Examiner reports, "Scenes will be taking place in the street that will include simulated gunfire of three or four shots as police officers drive up to a house and are shot as they exit their car."
The JJ Abrams-helmed show will air on FOX in the fall season. Let's hope this one sticks. Alcatraz is one of several new shows being filmed in San Francisco in an effort to lure Hollywood back.
