This looks promising...

All Over Albany pointed out that the notorious baby snatcher Angelina Jolie might be in the Capital District in the coming weeks, filming scenes from the upcoming spy movie Salt. Filming will center on the ramps around the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, presumably being used for a car chase. Due to there being tons of production equipment, famous people, and those gigantic trailer parks for said famous people, they are closing down various roads during these times for most days between April 23rd- May 4th. Field trip anyone?

The Times Union has an article about it here.
