Photo by myself of 1 Central Park, at 59th Street and Columbus Avenue.
What used to be the AOL Time Warner building, is now known as 1 Columbus Circle. A multi-story mall is located on the ground floor, with luxury shops and restaurants.
The condominiums at 1 Central Park were being offered several years ago. I read that studio apartments were priced at $3 million dollars.
Mark and I have been watching Hellboy 1 & 2 on dvd. Set in a romanticized New York, these fantastic movies star Ron Perlman as the title character, a superhero with authority issues. I recommend the movies for their visual grandeur.
There is something about New York which makes it the setting for so many movies, especially fantastic ones with superheroes. Besides Hellboy, King Kong, Spiderman and Superman also use Gotham as their home base.
With its share of iconic buildings, helpless mobs and a feeling of eerie surreality, New York is the sensible backdrop for good versus evil.

Hi - thats a gorgeous photo..
ReplyDeleteI agree,New York is such an amazing backdrop for so many movies, I have to say, it influences whether I watch a movie or not.If the story line is not great, but set in Manhattan, I will still give it a try just to soak up the atmosphere!
Spiderman just wouldn't be the same filmed anywhere else!

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful the vibrant blue in your shot! NY is my fave movie setting. And for me there's no one like Woody Allen in the Big A - call it a cliche or not, it still keeps working for me. I could watch his movies night after night, and never get bored.

ReplyDeleteIt's remarkable how utterly different this building looks during the day. The whole area has undergone a renovation in the last few years.
Now it is a bustling destination that is quite striking at night.
