Derek Jeter & Will Ferrell film movie at Nathan’s
The New York Post has a gallery of Derek Jeter filming the Will Ferrell movie “The Other Guys” at Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island yesterday. The movie has the following plot summary:

The scene shot at Nathan’s takes place years later, when a down-on-his-luck Jeter — wearing a filthy hobo’s jacket and sporting stringy gray hair — encounters the crime-fighting duo.
