Mystery solved: ‘Poker Face’ filmed locally

“Poker Face,” the 10-episode mystery-of-the-week series from “Knives Out” director Rian Johnson that follows Natasha Lyonne as Charlie, a “human lie detector,” premieres this week.

Among those filming alongside local crew members in the area were: Ellen Barkin, Benjamin Bratt, Adrien Brody, David Castañeda, Hong Chau, Clea DuVall, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, Jameela Jamil, Judith Light, Tim Meadows, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Nick Nolte, and Chloë Sevigny.
