On August 26, 2022, production for the TV series “Lady in the Lake” was stopped after drug dealers made threats to shoot an individual at the downtown Baltimore film set and attempted to extort film producers for money, per a report by the Baltimore Banner.
Production came to a screeching halt after “locals threatened the producers of the movie that if they didn’t cease production, they would come back later . . . and shoot someone,” a Baltimore Police Department spokesperson informed WJZ.
“The locals then told the producers that if they paid them, they would allow the production to continue,” a department spokesperson revealed.
The spokesperson was unaware of “the dollar amount” that the “the locals” demanded the producers cough up.
