Exciting news for film buffs: Adobe Pictures will be coming to the Financial District to film action scenes for Project Ice Cream, a feature film reportedly part of the Matrix series, from February 9 to March 1, 2020. There will be low-flying helicopters, drones, car chase scenes, âquarter-loadâ simulated gunfire, smoke, and pyrotechnics. No helicopters will fly directly above the Commons or The Gateway, but there will definitely be audible helicopter noise.
