Keanu Reeves movie films in Kenmore

KENMORE, N.Y. (WIVB) - The filming of a Hollywood movie is moving to the Village of Kenmore on Friday.

Filming is expected to start within hours at Jinlan's Chinese restaurant on Delaware Avenue here in Kenmore.

On Thursday, camera crews headed north to shoot the scene of Keanu Reeves' character's first date in the romantic back drop of Niagara Falls.

Henry's Crime star, Keanu Reeves was shooting the scene of his first date with actress Vera Farmiga at Prospect Point, known as a romantic spot with breathtaking views.

Angela Berti of the New York State Parks said, "This is it, it always is. And now the world will know that even more than they already do."

Earlier in the day, the two characters met, when Farmiga hit Reeves with a car at Main and Huron in downtown Buffalo.

Local emergency responders have gotten a front row seat throughout the filming.

They've been on hand to make sure that the Queen City's chill doesn't cause any health problems or injuries.

Dr. Lou Irmisch explained, "Basically, it's the concern with ice and slippery conditions, especially when they start doing the special effects and the stunts."

Filming is expected to begin early Friday morning at Jinlan's restaurant in Kenmore.
