You know how it is living in New York City. One minute it’s all 21st century hustle and bustle, and then you step outside your door to discover you've been transported back to the 1900s. Some residents of Downtown Manhattan are certainly feeling that way thanks to Steven Soderbergh’s Cinemax series, The Knick.

The ten-episode show about New York’s Knickerbocker Hospital in 1900, starring Clive Owen, required a transformation of a portion of Manhattan to do some filming. The pilot episode is written by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler and will introduce viewers to the doctors and nurses of The Knick who, “Push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.”

He’s been sporting a rather urbane pencil moustache over recent weeks.

But while the thin sliver of facial hair hovering above Clive Owen’s upper-lip appears to suit his handsome features, its presence is more of a professional, rather than personal choice.

Indeed, the 49-year-old actor is currently filming The Knick, a new mini-series based in and around New York’s Knickerbocker Hospital in 1900.

Owen, confirmed as a lead in August, will feature prominently in the first season’s entire ten episode run.

Owen was joined on set by Irish co-star Eve Hewson – the 22-year-old daughter of U2 frontman Bono.

The young actress was dressed in an old fashioned nurse’s uniform as she cycled across the set on an equally archaic push-bike.

The recreation of New York circa 1900 was enhanced by the presence of horses, wagons and the prerequisite dusty, unpaved streets.

Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming, says, "We are thrilled that Steven and Clive have chosen to bring this unique and exciting series to Cinemax."

Set in downtown New York in 1900, "The Knick" centers on Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses and staff, who push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.
