Movie or Commercial?

A short Russian Hill hike took me up the Jones sidewalk stairway on the east side today: 301 steps (first pic) to Macondray Lane. Upon reaching the foot of the old wooden Macondray Lane stairway (36 steps, second pic), at Taylor, saw a bunch of people up here, apparently filming a speeding racecar. 
Was asked to wait before continuing up Taylor.

Didn't feel like waiting around so turned right and ascended the Green St. stairway, 126 steps from Taylor to Jones (third pic).

Turned to descend the Vallejo stairway (fourth photo) alongside and below the micropark where partway down could see police and camerapeople below, with people in Ina Coolbrith Park across Taylor (fifth pic) viewing the action. 

Back up the stairs and west to an offshoot alley off Leavenworth (Glover) to pass by a couple of old houses I've always liked; found 'em alive and well. I do love my offshoot alleys. 

So hope this will be an actual movie this time, and not just one of those ubiquitous car commercials for TV. Anyone know what this is about?

Tony, those walkways look peaceful and enticing. I'm surprised to see a large agave cactus centered in the Vallejo Stairway to Taylor pic. I suppose as long as soil is well drained and dries out beteen waterings, agave can/has thrived. Tequilla is made from agave. My Dad gave me two different types of agave, the traditional seen in your pic and a variegated yellow and green leafed one. Thanks for sharing amigo.

Thanks for the comments. I guess most plants will grow in SF.

    I like meandering around on San Francisco's park trails and public stairways, sometimes taking photos, and enjoying nature and the outdoors.
