An Apple TV+ and Endeavor Content production shut down on Friday afternoon after Baltimore locals threatened to shoot someone on the set of the limited series.
According to a statement from the Baltimore Police Department, "the locals" warned producers of the forthcoming series "Lady in the Lake" that they would "come back later this evening (and) shoot someone" if they didn't stop filming on the 200 block of Park Avenue. The Baltimore residents then told producers that they would "allow the production to continue" if the producers paid them $50,000.
Adapted from bestselling author Laura Lippman's novel of the same name, "Lady in the Lake" stars Oscar winner Natalie Portman as a housewife-turned-journalist investigating a murder, and Emmy nominee Moses Ingram as an activist fighting for social justice in 1960s Baltimore.
