Scotia film shoot delayed

The independent film that was scheduled to be shot in the Village of Scotia Wednesday has been postponed due to weather delays.

"The Place Beyond the Pines," starring Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper, was suppose to film at the First National Bank of Scotia on Mohawk Avenue all day Wednesday. But rain this week has delayed shooting, so it might be done in the bank's lobby on Friday instead, said Schenectady Assistant Police Chief Michael Seber, who is assisting the production company in scheduling for city filming.

In fact, the bank's website now says that the bank's lobby will be closed on an unknown date. However, shooting scheduled for Thursday on Route 5 near Johnson Road in Glenville will likely take place.
Seber said the city police department will soon announce road closures in relation to filming. Officers are working in their off-time as extras, and the city is being paid for providing additional security where needed, Seber said.

Star sightings are now occurring frequently, with a picture roaming around the internet Tuesday of Gosling, a previous Oscar nominee, visiting Bombers Burrito Bar with multiple fake tattoos on his arms and a head of bleached-blond hair for his role as a motorcycle stunt rider turned bank robber.
