Shooting on the streets of New York has meant a very public experience of a movie that won’t be out for months. It has also set up a clash with anti-spoiler culture.

In July, Entertainment Weekly reported that Brammall had been cast to play opposite Hathaway as Andy Sachs's new love interest. This character is to replace Nate, played by Adrien Grenier, who will not be returning for the second film. But, other than that, the details about Brammall's character remain mostly secret.

Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep and Simone Ashley were at the American Museum of Natural History and Anne Hathaway and Patrick Brammall danced in Brooklyn.
