‘Pixels’ Filming Shuts Wisconsin Avenue


Film production for the upcoming summer 2015 “Pixels” shut down Wisconsin Avenue from M Street to Dumbarton Street for a street scene of pedestrians and cars Saturday morning, Sept. 6, roughly 7 a.m. to just past noon. Martin’s Tavern and other classic stores were in the shoot.

The film stars Adam Sandler, who plays a former video games champion with a less than great job. His character is called by the government to help fight extraterrestrial aliens, who have mistaken videos of games as an act of aggression from the Earth and attack. Haven’t we heard this plot before? Most of the film is being shot in Toronto.
