Word has it that former Park Sloper, Noah Baumbach, is currently shooting his next movie on Long Island. It’s being produced by Scott Rudin for a big studio’s independent division. The budget is $10 million dollars according to my sources.

While this film does not take place in Park Slope, it is, like "The Squid and the Whale," the story of a dysfunctional family. The untitled film is set in the present and stars Nicole Kidman and Baumbach’s wife, the great Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Those of us who loved "The Squid and the Whale" are seriously looking forward to Noah’s next  flick.
