Driving around Los Angeles the past few weeks has felt haunting. The normal bustling of traffic has been missing, restaurants are empty, shopping malls are closed and movie theaters deserted.
This week, Deadline’s video producers Andrew Merrill and David Janove along with Social Media Director Scott Shilstone took photos of some of the marquees at movie theaters and stages around Los Angeles. While many, including the Bruin, the Vista and The AMC Burbank, still displayed posters for Onward, many others were updated to display messages of hope and optimism.
