: Public outrage over Will Smith's ultra-extravagant 1,150 square
: foot double decker trailer - which reportedly contains a movie
: room, offices, a bedroom, a bathroom, and requires so much
: gasoline to run that local SoHo residents claim the entire
: neighbourhood now "smells like a gas station" - has
: reached the point where mayor Michael Bloomberg has deemed it
: necessary to intervene. "To balance the interests of the
: production and the neighborhood, we have instructed Men in Black
: 3 to relocate the trailer to a private lot," a statement
: from the mayor's Office of Film, Theater, and Broadcasting read.
:
: The outrage has also prompted two city council members to
: propose legislation setting limits on the size of film
: production vehicles. "Hardworking New Yorkers have a right
: to wake up in the morning and not find a cruise ship parked out
: in front of their house," said Peter Vallone Jr., Public
: Safety Committee Chair.
:
: The trailer is now parked in a private lot about a mile away
: from Smith's $25,000 a month Bond street apartment. Smith is
: expected to make the commute in a Russian MI 12 helicopter
: retrofitted with a swimming pool, sauna, minibar, and 100 inch
: plasma screen.
