HBO has been filming a movie featuring Michael B. Jordan and Scarborough-born YouTube star Lilly Singh, however a frustrated neighbour of 450 Pape Avenue took matters into his own hands, resulting in his arrest on Monday Afternoon.
HBO was filming Fahrenheit 451, when they were disrupted by Nick Shcherban who set up two speakers and an amplifier in his backyard, and pointed it in the direction of 450 Pape Ave.
He was charged with mischief – interfere with property, public mischief, criminal harassment and causing a disturbance. He will have his bail hearing today.
Not only did the film crew have an issue with his loud music on Monday, but residents also called authorities and issued noise complaints against him, which prompted a visit from police to discuss the complaint, later resulting in him being escorted into a police car – while the film crew watched.
The city confirmed that the film company did engage with the community to get support and approval for the late night filming that took place, and to ensure the public that all filming will be limited to the property and inside the residence.
The mansion located at Pape and Riverdale has previously been used for the movie It and CTV show Orphan Black.
