Lights! Camera! Action! Once again, Woodhaven is the setting for a major production, following last year's The Sitter and this year's Tower Heist. On Thursday and Friday, HBO's Bored to Death will be filming around 75th Street and Jamaica Avenue. Eagle-eyed shoppers first noticed that something was up when they saw this sign in C-Town's window: Special thanks to Mr. Woodhaven for the pictures. All around the area there are flyers letting residents know they will be filming in the area. On Friday, May 13th, they will be using the same streets and will also be using: Please be aware of this and make appropriate preparations. Be aware of the signs on your street and avoid parking where the signs say that you cannot. If you do, NYC will tow your car to the nearest legal spot. From Wikipedia: Bored to Death stars Jason Schwartzman as a fictional Jonathan Ames – a writer based in Brooklyn, New York City, who moonlights as an unlicensed private detective. The show also stars Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis. SCOOP: The episode filming the next two days will air in late fall. It will be Episode 5 of Season 3. They were also filming at the Forest Park Carousel a few weeks ago -- those scenes were filmed for Episode 2 of Season 3 and will probably air in late September. BONUS: An entirely separate crew will be filming in Forest Park, near 85th Street and Park Lane South -- all day Friday, May 13th. They are filming a commercial for the online retailer Zappos. 
Here are the streets where parking will be affected on Thursday, May 12th:
