The makers of A24’s Materialists seem to be hurrying to bring the film to the screen. This film was announced in February, and after two months of production, the news of its filming started today.
The cameras started rolling to capture this romantic film on April 29, and today, Dakota Johnson was spotted filming in New York.
A YouTube channel, Backgrid, posted a clip from the filming where Dakota Johnson is seen shooting “Materialists.”
This video is of 1min 8 seconds, in which Dakota is wearing light blue denim jeans with a loose white shirt, carrying a black bag, and a messy hair bun.

In the clip, she is seen shooting in and around a taxi. The actress keeps the luggage in the taxi trunk and then sits in the taxi, and the cameraman captures those scenes from outside.
In the second half of the clip, she again shoots the same scene, keeping the luggage in the trunk and sitting in the taxi.
But it is not clear from that video which street in New York City the shooting took place on. The makers blocked the entire road and set up the whole set for filming by installing traffic stoppers on the road.
