Bustling 74th Street in Jackson Heights transformed into a movie set on Tuesday as "Ocean's 8" filmed in the neighborhood.

Stars Sandra Bullock and Mindy Kaling — along with a host of extras and crew members — walked up and down the sidewalk Tuesday as fans watched from across the street.

Extras pretended to shop at tables hawking saris and jewelry, ignoring the stars as they walked by. 

At one point Bullock conferred with director Gary Ross on how she should walk.

It's not clear if the location will be portrayed as Jackson Heights in the film, which is a take on the popular heist trilogy featuring an all-female cast. 

It began filming across the city in October, and also starts Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Sarah Paulson.

Damian Lewis and Matt Damon also co-star. 

It's scheduled to be released in 2018.
