Although their permit hours state they would not be doing any setup after 10 pm at night, they have delivered 2 truck loads of yellow NY taxi cabs - 1 at 11 pm and 1 at 1 am. Valerie of FilmLA said she doesn't know anything about it and Dianne, the location manager, straight up lied about it and said they are not even her shoot's taxi cabs. If they aren't her taxi cabs, then what are they doing in her parking lot? The one guarded by 2 security guards? The one between the Hayward and Premiere Towers? What about the driver saying they are part of the Heroes film shoot? What about the 2 security guards that say they are part of the Heroes film shoot?

All I can say is Dianne Friedgen - Heroes location manager - you are a big fat liar!!!!

Anyone else that wants to call and have a word with big fat liar Dianne about her taxi cab delivery outside of the permitted hours? Here you go:

Dianne Friedgen Location Manager - Office - Mobile

If she's going to lie about one thing outside of the permit hours, what else is she going to lie about? What else are they going to be doing outside of the permit hours?

I heard equipment at all hours last night and early this morning.

This shoot is an accident waiting to happen with people crawling all over the block among equipment, picture vehicles and live traffic on a 94 degree and rising day. It's already causing congestion at the intersection of Sixth and Spring visible on ATSAC.

The production appears to be acknowledging the risk by having its assistant director staff wear reflective safety vests. Vests only help if the vehicles see you before they hit you and have enough time and room to react.

I hope they get to message as they are expected back tomorrow.
