Some activists even turned out in person to protest the film shoot.A spokesman for Netflix said it was “aware of the protests around our filming locations, which have been very contained and peaceful.”In August, the media company began shooting its first ever original series in Jordan, a supernatural soap opera titled Jinn. The Netflix spokesman said the current filming is unrelated to Jinn, and is a new, unnamed series.“We are filming in Jordan for an upcoming globe-spanning series, with Jordan representing several different locations,” the spokesman said. “We have worked for months in partnership with the Royal Film Commission in Jordan to make the filming a success... The series will employ more than 200 Jordanians while it films.” Several Jordanian media accounts said the new series is titled The Old Story, although Netflix declined to provide any other details about the show. It also would not say what other locations were being represented in Jordan.According to a report on the Jordanian news site Al Bawaba, the Jordanian Royal Film Commission said the filming “was a Netflix-produced series that was using Amman as a backdrop for Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.” According to Al Bawaba, the commission “confirmed approving a request to shoot a series in Amman where it is assumed to be in Israel’s Tel Aviv without interfering in the content of any film or series being produced in Jordan.”Al Bawaba said the film shoot is being conducted by Netflix in cooperation with Desert Motion Picture, a Jordanian production company which had not responded to a request for comment by press time.: الأمانة ل"الغد": لا علم لدينا بأن القائمين على فيلم يصور في #عمّان على أنه في "تل أبيب" سيغيرون أسماء الشوارع إلى "العبرية"#سؤال متى اﻷمانه تعلن مسؤوليتها ؟كل حادثه لا علم تخلي مسؤوليتها ولا علم لها !!! pic.twitter.com/V7Q7iPrjCp
