Pedro Pascal Films ‘De Noche’ in Mexico City as Mayor Brugada Marks His Birthday

The on-set visit signaled City Hall’s bid to showcase Mexico City as a filming hub.

Overview

  • Pedro Pascal, who is shooting the period film De Noche in the Centro Histórico, received a brief birthday visit Thursday from Mexico City’s mayor, Clara Brugada.
  • Brugada gave Pascal a Huichol-style axolotl art piece, a nod to indigenous craft and the Mexico City–native salamander, in footage she posted to X that local outlets shared.
  • In the videos, Pascal thanked Mexico and called Mexico City his favorite city, saying the film would not exist without the country.
  • Outlets report De Noche is a 1930s-set Todd Haynes project produced by MK2 Films with Danny Ramírez co-starring, though these details are described as reported rather than formally announced.
  • The production has also filmed in Sonora, and the public greeting functioned as soft promotion for the capital’s push to attract more international shoots.
