Carly Norris, an editor at a major publishing house, moves into a modern skyscraper in New York, nicknamed "Sliver" by locals. The apartment came to her after the mysterious previous resident Naomi Singer, who fell from the balcony under mysterious circumstances. Soon Carly learns that serial murders of women have occurred in this building, and the police suspect the killer still lives among the residents. The main location was a skyscraper on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, which fully matched the film's concept of an ultra-modern residential complex with high-tech surveillance.

The crime drama was filmed in the USA, primarily in New York. The main location was a 32-story skyscraper on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, which fully matched the film's concept: the plot required an ultra-modern residential complex with high-tech surveillance. Producer Robert Evans specially rented a two-level apartment on the 24th floor with panoramic views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and East River, perfectly reflecting the film's urban atmosphere. The location at the Cast Iron Bridge in Central Park was used in the film as a meeting and walking place for the characters, as well as for surveillance of the main character. Other locations include: the New York Public Library, a store at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 38th Street, and a gym on 42nd East Street in Manhattan.

They see themselves on the screens and at that moment Zeke flirts with Carly, asking if he is too old for her. The scene continues to reveal their playful and slightly provocative interaction, and shows how quickly their relationship begins to develop.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at an electronics store at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 38th Street in Manhattan. This area is home to many office buildings, electronics stores, and retail spaces, creating an ideal urban backdrop for the scene with Zeke and Carly. The reflective building facades, storefronts with TVs connected to cameras broadcasting the image in front of those very windows, literally symbolize the constant mutual voyeurism of the city's residents.

Library

In the Movie

Scene where "Carly researches information about the deaths and murders in the building where she acquired her new apartment. Carly browses digitized newspaper archives about the ""Sliver"" building. On the computer screen, articles about tragic incidents - falls and suicides in the building - appear sequentially. Carly realizes that several people have died in the building under strange circumstances, and the press materials call the skyscraper a killer building, also emphasizing that the deaths occurred under strange circumstances that the police were unable to fully investigate. This scene becomes key for Carly to understand the danger that exists in the building where she now lives. "

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue. In the 1990s, it was one of the few places in the US with an advanced system for digitizing historical newspaper archives. The library created a large-scale project to digitize newspaper collections, which included thousands of volumes of newspapers and magazines digitized in high quality: technically, this allowed quick switching between electronic versions of newspapers through special computer terminals. The unique system developed by the library made it possible to instantly retrieve archival materials from underground storage and convert them to digital format. For this reason, the filming of this scene took place at the New York Public Library: it provided the technical capability to film such a scene.
