Will Gluck’s “One Night Only” Films at 79th and Broadway This Week

Filming for Will Gluck’s “One Night Only” is currently taking place in New York City. The Universal Pictures comedy will capture scenes around 79th Street and Broadway this week, specifically on Thursday and Friday.
About “One Night Only”
The film is based on a script by Travis Braun, which features a comedic take on a unique societal premise. In a world where premarital sex is illegal except for one night a year, the story follows two strangers as they attempt to find partners.
According to reports, the original concept was described as a comedic twist on “The Purge”. Instead of legalizing crime for a day, this film allows for intimacy in a repressive environment.
