IDRISSSS. The actor was spotted in New York City filming shortly after photos were revealed of Matthew McConaughey as Randall Flagg (although I’m not the only one who noticed a slight Zoolander resemblance, am I?). Director Ron Howard tweeted the above image from the set, and you can click through for a gallery to images of both McConaughey and Elba rocking their costumes. (via ComingSoon.net.)
