The new NBC drama Trauma has apparently been filming in San Francisco... including Chinatown. How do I know this? Our friend Jack sends along this little clipping from Chinese newspaper World Journal -- a shot of the set in Chinatown, featuring what looks like a bunch of bar girls hanging out on the curb. The Chinatown episode? Greeaaaaat. (Thanks, Jack.)
UPDATE: Some video of Trauma filming in Chinatown:
This one appears to be a fight between two Asian girls.
And here's one with a whole bunch of smoke. (Thanks, Jen.)
UPDATE: The following casting notice was posted for extras on Trauma:
Important: This is regarding a picture pick extra role for Trauma the NBC TV show. Up to 10 women will be selected from photos by the Director and be visible on camera in scenes with speaking actors, but this is still non-speaking extra work only. Photos received will be submitted to production asap.Funny, how they describe the extra parts as an "innocent and unfortunate" portrayal. I guess we'll see what goes down in Chinatown when the episode eventually airs.
