Sense8 Filming Inside Thorek On Saturday

From Ald. Cappleman's website:

Readers with good memories will know that Sense8 has filmed in Uptown on several previous occasions.

The new Netflix series Sense8 is filming today around the area of the Aragon.  Click on the notice to the left for parking restrictions.

Remember that a car chase under the L tracks is supposed to shoot along the alley behind Kenmore between Irving Park and Buena during the next couple days as well.

Filming: A Car Chase Under The El Tracks

If you live near the el tracks along Kenmore between Buena and Irving, expect some excitement this weekend.  Sense8, the Netflix series guided by the Wachowski siblings (who were responsible for The Matrix, among other things) will be back in Uptown filming.

This time, it appears there will be car chase and car crash filmed under the tracks.  If you park back there, you are asked to move your car on August 1 and 2nd.  According to the notice, the production will provide temporary parking for you, but you need to get a permit from Ald. Cappleman's office, located at 4454 North Broadway.  The office is open 9 to 5 Tuesday through Friday, and 9 to 7 today.

Thank you to reader Mark Vanderah for providing this to us.
