I spoke with actor Kevin Durand who plays Rat Exterminator and Vampire Killer Vasiliy Fet

between takes

and he could not

have been nicer.

Mr. Durand and the crew members I spoke to said it was their first time visiting Roosevelt Island

and they enjoyed it very much.

Mr. Durand did not leave Roosevelt Island before taking a selfie with view of East River Manhattan skyline in background.
