To anyone wanting to know...................I sent this after being stuck it what I thought was a terrorist trap, cops everywhere, wondering why? HI, I am a West Islip resident, and was wondering.......last week, we saw a film crew down at the manor and they also were using the Gardner's Park lot for the film crew, we also were behind them one day making their way to Robert Mosses Park. What film were they making, and how much did it cost them to use the old manor? We waited to see if it showed up on any on 12 news, but nothing The following is from the Historical Society: Actually it was in last week's Islip Bulletin and Suffolk County News.  The film was "The Birth" and a wedding reception scene was filmed at Sagtikos Manor starring Nicole Kidman, Lauren Bacall and Anne Heche.  The film company paid $2,000 for the use of Sagtikos Manor.  They only released information to the local paper, they didn't want a big media frenzy on site.   I am a resident, there was many problems purchasing this house....I think that they got away tooooo cheap................it is now in the hands of the Historical Society of Suffolk. thanks to my leg. Angie Carpenter. I think Hollwood could have paid more, you know that Geroge Washington slept there......... Wish I knew more then.....have many articles, but that was before they (Gardiner's) sold. I would like to get on this committee...will try before summer....it's hard, I am a transplant from CA, been here 20 years, and just finding my mother's roots where one of the first settlers here on Long Island. what a summer job!
