The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, starring Robin Williams and Mila Kunis, has been filming around the city lately, and today production took over Atlantic Avenue and Court Street in Brooklyn (pictured). The dramedy is about a guy (Williams) who "tries to determine what he will do in the final moments of his life." It also stars Peter Dinklage, James Earl Jones, and Melissa Leo.
Williams was also spotted filming at Book Court, and ALLEGEDLY walked in and declared, "I LOVE independent bookstores. Every time I see one I HAVE to go in. I'm like FUCK." It's unclear if he had the same enthusiasm when he entered Starbucks.
