LINCOLN SQUARE — After making Revolution Brewing the star of his 2012 movie "Drinking Buddies," now director Joe Swanberg has tapped a number of Lincoln Square locations for his newest flick, working title "Win It All."

Neighbors who were out and about in the 'hood earlier this week may have recognized Swanberg or "Win It All" star Jake Johnson (best known as Nick on Fox's "New Girl") hanging around the Davis Theater, Welles Park, Baker Miller or O'Lanagan's Pub on Montrose Avenue.

The film also features Aislinn Derbez, an actress and model from Mexico. So far there have been no sightings of frequent Swanberg collaborator Anna Kendrick.

If you were making a movie in Lincoln Square, where would you have cast and crew show up next?

 

So excited to capture The Davis Theater on film. This place makes me feel like a kid again.
