Lady in the Lake, an upcoming Apple TV+ series starring Natalie Portman, has stopped production after several Baltimore locals threatened producers and tried to extort them.
According to The Banner, drug dealers then attempted to extort $50,000 from the production, which producers declined to pay.
The group made multiple threats, and said they would return and shoot someone if the production didn’t stop filming, a police spokesperson told The Baltimore Banner.
The crew was filming in downtown Baltimore around 4 pm Friday when they were approached by several people.
