"The Change-Up," starring Ryan Reyolds and Olivia Wilde, above, took over Ecco in Midtown on Monday to film some scenes. The restaurant was closed to patrons but thanks to one of our Twitter buddies - an extremely well-placed one, from the looks of things, we got our hands on these exclusive pix. Enjoy!

Ecco was the site for the wrap party for "Wanderlust," the Jennifer Aniston-Paul Rudd movie, last week. And now it will star in "The Change-Up." Here's an exterior shot.

Ryan Reynolds also was spotted having dinner at Aria the other night with his wife, Scarlett Johansson. Seems like movies are great for the local restaurant biz.

After finishing for the day, Olivia Wilde tweeted, "GREAT first day of shooting on The Change Up. Laugh-ity laugh laugh fun. Ryan Reynolds is so Canadian he doesn't even sweat. Infuriating."

Setting up a shot. The restaurant was closed and security was tight. We got these photos from a very well-placed source via Twitter. #friendsinhighplaces

"The Change-Up" stars Ryan Reynolds, above, and Jason Bateman.

"The Change-Up" has been filming all over town and will be shooting a huge scene on Saturday at Turner Field.

I can’t wait for Ryan Reynolds’ GREEN LANTERN film.
Jennifer, may I please say you are a VERY LOVELY Lady?
Would you like to go see GREEN LANTERN with this single fellow?

I have no idea why, but at first I thought that they meant the Ecco store at the mall.

I hear he is a real jerk and will get upset if people take photos of him on the set. DB! Fans taking photos and asking for autographs is a part of being a celebrity.

Been Working on the set for last three weeks, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Batman have been quite accomodating and accessible to fans between takes.Ive seen them both do photo ops with neighbors.If you call that a jerk then you have some real personal issues.

@ HATER – I was onset in the Ecco scene and he was friendly and funny – not at all like what you heard. She was beautiful – both seemed to be polite and professional!

I had the pleasure of meeting Ryan and watch him handle a throng of women that had come out of their office buidings to sneak a peek a few weeks ago. He couldn’t have been nicer or funnier.

I am ssssoooooo jealous of the fact that you guys get so see Ryan. I am a huge fan of his, and would LOVE to be an extra in a movie with him, meet him, and get a picture. I live in Colorado, I wish he would come to the midwest and do a scene or something, I would travel to be an extra for sure!!

Dear Gentleman JR,
That’s very nice of you to say! I’m married but I’m sure a guy as nice as you will have no trouble finding a date to “The Green Lantern.”
