Filming of scenes of the US$100 million Miami Vice movie production are taking place in the Capotillo neighborhood of Santo Domingo. Prior to the filming, the government modernized the police force in the slum area, bringing in 18 agents on board Harley Davidson motorbikes. As a result, crime in the area was eradicated prior to the starting of the filming, with the delinquents said to have moved on to other nearby slum areas. El Caribe newspaper reports that since yesterday, Jaime Foxx, Colin Farrell and director Michael Mann were seen in the neighborhood. The Capotillo filming started off with a chase scene. Plans are for the team to move on to film in southeastern city of San Pedro de Macoris, and then to return for more filming in Capotillo this evening and on Thursday morning.
Scheduled for Monday is the shooting of scenes in the Colonial Zone, where movie cameras already took in scenes along Hostos Street. The scenes are not meant to depict the Dominican Republic, but rather sites in Cuba and Haiti. Colin and Foxx have been in the DR since 12 October, after previous filming in Miami. Female star Gong Li had arrived earlier with director Michael Mann, according to El Caribe newspaper.
