Crews filming “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” in South Williamsburg agreed yesterday to rearrange shooting schedules for the Orthodox Jewish community leaders who fumed the production would block streets and take up parking spaces over Passover.
“We expressed the importance for ‘Spider-Man’ to pass over filming during Passover, and they have answered our call,” said Councilman Stephen Levin (D-Brooklyn), who helped broker the compromise with Columbia Pictures, the Mayor’s Office and community leaders.
Columbia Pictures had wanted to close the streets surrounding the Marcy Avenue Armory at Lynch Street to film the sequel from March 22 to 27. Passover begins at sundown on March 25.
