Don’t be fooled by the Bay Ridge shot, she’s still Jenny from the block.
Bronx-born singer and actress Jennifer Lopez boogied down to the Ridge for a television shoot on June 10.
J. Lo will star alongside Ray Liotta in the upcoming cop drama “Shades of Blue” currently in production, according to information from the National Broadcasting Company.
Filmmakers trained their cameras on the pair in front of Fifth Avenue’s Alpine Cinema. Producers also transformed an abandoned storefront near the nearly century-old theater into a liquor store for the shoot, witnesses said.
In the show, which is slated for release later this year, Lopez plays a single mother who works undercover on a Federal Bureau of Investigation anti-corruption task force.
Lopez and “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest are among the show’s producers.
The Ridge is no stranger to film shoots
Bay Ridge played a central role in the 1977 disco classic “Saturday Night Fever,” parts of the 2007 film “Brooklyn Rules” were set in and shot in the neighborhood, and “Jersey Shore” knock-off “Brooklyn 11223” riled Ridgites who said the show unfairly caricatured the area’s Italian-American population.
More recently, Park Slope director Jason Cusato and Ridge actor Anthony DeVito shot an adaptation of a classic Twilight Zone episode on Madeline Court.
