Exclusive | How the Bob Dylan movie 'A Complete Unknown' perfectly re-created 1960s NYC - thanks to New Jersey
Briefly

"It's missing the patina of New York in the 1960s," Audouy told The Post. "But the other thing, though, is that it's almost impossible to shoot a movie like this on a street where every business is going to ask for $1 million or $100,000 or more to allow the level of control that we need."
"When you're in a business like a cafe or a restaurant and you're looking out the windows, you're not looking into a green screen. You're looking at pedestrians walking by and cars going by," he added. "That's the movie that we were trying to make - something that was real and as grounded as possible."
While creative liberties were taken with some sets, Dylan's first NYC apartment at 161 W. Fourth St., where he lived with girlfriend Suze Rotolo, was the most detail obsessed project. Sadly, although still standing, the genuine article was unusable. "The interior has been unfortunately completely gutted," Audouy said.
