Hoax Trivia: Will the real Pentagon please stand up?

April

With Washington security as tight as it is these days, trying to film a scene at the Pentagon isÃ¢â‚¬â€well, just not going to happen.

So, when Bedford director Lasse Hallstrom needed to shoot Richard Gere exiting the infamous octagon for his latest movie, The Hoax (coming out in theaters today), he stayed close to home. Turns out, the Westchester County Michaelian Office Building in downtown White Plains was a suitable stand-in.

During filming in August of ‘05, HaddadÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s trailers lined Martine and Lexington Avenues and fans gathered en masse, hoping to see Gere or the filmÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s other stars (Marcia Gay Harden, Julie Delpy, Alfred Molina). Though our 1930 landmarkÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Art Deco entrance wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t a perfect Pentagon match, it’s pretty hard to tell the two apart now. Can you guess which is which?

The answer is after the break.

Anwer: The Pentagon is on the right; Michaelian is on the left.
