Other recent filming in Newark includes “Joker,” The Walking Dead,” “The Equalizer,” “The Sopranos” and “Wu-Tang: An American Saga.”
NEWARK, NJ — Newark is leaning into its reputation as a Film Ready location, with its newly created Office of Film and Television ready to help bring productions like the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” and Warner Brothers’ “The Bride!” to life in the streets of the Brick City.
On Tuesday, officials launched the Newark Office of Film and Television (NOFTV), a specialized agency dedicated to facilitating film, television and multimedia production in the city.
