“We worked hard on them,” says Steven Gorelick, executive director of the New Jersey Motion Picture and TV Commission. Nearly all of the Hulu series “Wu-Tang Clan: An American Saga” was set in Staten Island and Manhattan in the 1990s but northern New Jersey got the role as the production shot in 10 cities and towns, among them Irvington, Montclair and Secaucus. It’s a selling point that the state is pushing hard as it attracts more than a half-billion dollars in film and television-related activity this year.įarrelly wasn’t alone in making the New Jersey of today resemble the New York of another era. “Manhattan’s only four minutes away, it’s a beautiful view, there’s a million nice restaurants and they’ve got great crews here,” he says. Farrelly, who took advantage of Louisiana’s tax credit when shooting “Green Book” - they even used Hammond, La., to replicate the Bronx - had never been to Jersey City.
