Sadly, this is just an urban legend. It originated on IMDB as unsubstantiated trivia. It is true that he had to do a moment of silence in the turtle suit, but this was weeks after 9/11.

But there were scenes in 28 days later filmed on 9/11, and apparently the tragedy entirely reshaped the movie.

Also Francis Ford Coppola had a second-unit camera team filming in NYC that day, which is where some of the higher quality footage comes from.

    "I’m dressed as the Turtle Man, and I’m holding hands, and I’m lowering my head and praying, and I just thought at the moment: 'This is very strange.'"

    (And here’s where we should be very clear that the Turtle Club scene was not, despite what people say sometimes, actually filmed on 9/11; production on the film hadn’t started when the attacks happened, and didn’t begin until a few weeks after. The Turtle Club was just the first scene to be filmed.)

    /shrug..

    I was at work when the planes hit the towers on 9/11.

    I set up a bunch of accounts, I handled a bunch of IT issues. I’m sure that there were many movie and TV scenes filmed that day.

    Roughly about 1/365 of all the things happen on each day of the year. Some even more frequently. I'm not surprised that movies scenes have been filmed during that day.

    Tbf I dont know Master Of Disguise. Is it worth watching? And why not?

    Anyone over the age of 10 will find it obnoxious and stupid. I know because I was 10 when I first saw it and thought it was funny, and then I had a birthday and I didn't like it anymore.
