And EWS is probably the last NYC film I’ve seen that was made before 9/11. Even though the whole city wasn’t destroyed that day, the city did change. I have the scene of Tom Cruise walking down the street in my head right now, and you feel like NYC is this amazing, magical place. (Perhaps it’s that I’ve never been there, despite living so close.) A mere few years later, the entire mood and environment changed.

Those scenes were all filmed in a studio in England.
