Shonda Rhimes’s new pilot “Inside the Box” — which follows the lives of Washington reporters and producers at a network news bureau, complete with a reporter who has an affair with a White House press secretary — shot scenes for the ABC show Tuesday at the White House, Lafayette Park and outside Old Ebbitt Grill.
According to a call sheet obtained by Yeas & Nays, the show will premiere late next year, as hundreds of extras playing bike messengers, joggers, tourists, business people and military personnel all were asked to come dressed in a coat, hat, scarf and gloves.
Missing from the filming were some of the show’s stars — “24” and “Lipstick Jungle”’s Kim Raver and “Eli Stone”’s Jason George — but their stand-ins took their marks while shooting the exterior scenes outside of the Willard InterContinential Washington Hotel.
