Filming is taking place today at the Beach Drive home for Ira Finklestein's Christmas.
The street is lined with cars, movie crew vans and motorhomes across from Emma Schmitz Viewpoint.
Actor Elliott Gould may be on location for this shooting which is suppose to be a condo in Florida. He has the role of Ira's grandfather in the movie.
Update 11:45 am – just visited "the set". It's amazing to see whats transformed in our neighbors home. Pictured below is David DeLuise and Elliott Gould.
Elliott Gould shows Tazi, the home owners' dog, some love in between takes.
Update 12:30 pm.
David DeLuise rehearsing lines on Jacobsen.
The home to the left is also being used for a place for the actors and crew to change wardrobe, eat and to hang out during breaks from filming.
Vans packed with gear and costumes line Beach Drive with motorhomes and cars.
Update 6:00 pm. The living room windows are blacked out and portions of the back yard were tarped for filming "evening scenes". DeLuise just left the set for the evening.

Prescription Drug National Take Back Initiative
The 2nd National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
Saturday, April 30, 2011
10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Dear Community Friends;
The following information is from the Drug Enforcement Agency.
- Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose and abuse.
- Pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor’s supervision.
- The non-medical use of prescription drugs ranks second only to marijuana as the most common form of drug abuse in America.
- The majority of teenagers abusing prescription drugs get them from family and friends – and their home medicine cabinet.
- Unused prescription drugs thrown in the trash can be retrieved and illegally sold. Unused drugs that are flushed contaminate the water supply. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives and protects the environment.
- Take back programs are the best way to dispose of old drugs.
…. Due to the overwhelming success of the first event, DEA has scheduled the second National Prescription Drug Take Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 30, 2011, from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the first event or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of them.
If you have unused or expired prescription medication, you can turn them in at the following Seattle Police Department Precincts for safe disposal.
- North Precinct, 10049 College Way N, Seattle 98133 .
- West Precinct, 810 Virginia ST, Seattle, 98101 .
- East Precinct, 1519 12the Ave, Seattle, 98122 .
- South Precinct, 3001 S. Myrtle ST, Seattle, 98108 .
- Southwest Precinct, 2300 SW Webster ST, Seattle, 98106
Intravenous solutions, injectibles, syringes or medical waste will not be accepted
Drug turn-ins can also be done through the police departments and sheriff’s offices of other local jurisdictions, to include the Port of Seattle Police Department, the Seattle Office of the DEA, and Kitsap and Snohomish County locations among others.
