LOS ANGELES — The shutdown last week of the Apple TV+ and Endeavor Content miniseries “Lady in the Lake” over reports that a crew member had been threatened stunned officials in Baltimore, a film-friendly hub where the acclaimed crime drama “The Wire” had filmed for years.
The Baltimore Police Department this week walked back its initial report of a violent threat on the set but arrested a street vendor, who officers said was upset that he had not been compensated by the production for lost business, on drug charges.
Nonetheless, the production halt was a reminder of the potential hazards that crews can face as they film in neighborhoods where they may not always be welcomed by residents and business owners.
