MTV’s “Jersey Shore 2.0” halts production after the original cast speaks out. See the historic house where they spin.

Cameras were set to roll on “Jersey Shore 2.0” in Atlantic City this summer, but filming has now been put on hold.

An MTV publicist told NJ Advance Media that “production has been halted” on the series.

Although the network didn’t give a reason for the postponement, the cast of the original “Jersey Shore” (er…”Jersey Shore 1.0″?) spoke out against the new show.

After MTV announced in May that they would feature a new cast in the ‘2.0’ version, almost the entire original cast, from Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi to Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, shared an identical statement on social media. .

“As a cast that took a chance with a network in need, we put our most vulnerable moments on TV for the world to see,” Polizzi, 34, and his castmates said in the communicated.

“We have given our all over the past 13 years, we have become a family and we continue to open our lives to the world,” they said. “(So) please understand that we’re not supporting a release that will leverage our original show, hard work and authenticity to win viewers.”

The idea for “Jersey Shore 2.0” was to cast new, younger Shore housemates, presumably to try and find lightning in a bottle (the Shore house being the bottle) like casting agents and producers did with Snooki, The Situation, JWoww, Pauly D, Vinny, Ronnie, Sammi, Angelina and Deena. The first “Jersey Shore,” set in Seaside Heights, became a cultural phenomenon after its 2009 debut, earning high ratings for MTV and making the cast members household names.

Their chemistry was so wobbly that less than six years after the show ended, the network brought them back — now 30 with kids (or 42 and full of well-paid DJ gigs, in Pauly’s case) — for 495 Productions’ “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” revival series from series creator SallyAnn Salsano, who produced the original show.

“It’s been 13 years since the iconic cast of Jersey Shore forced their way into our lives and stole our hearts,” MTV said in its announcement for a new show with the working title “Jersey Shore 2.0.”

“Now the centuries-old tradition continues with a new group of roommates moving into their very own Shore home,” the statement read. “They may have traded their beanbags for plump pouts and UV rays for spray tans, but when things heat up in Jersey, the Shore is always the perfect place to make memories all summer long.”

Due to the “pause”, it seems they won’t create any memories – or hail any taxi (and Ubers/Lyfts)…again.

But if and when they do, given the recent preparations for the show, they’re apparently ready to occupy a historic and spacious Atlantic City home just 30 steps from the promenade 100 blocks from Atlantic Avenue. The house, located near the entrance, is next to another older house and a corner liquor store.

The eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, 4,000 square foot house/mansionwhich is listed on Airbnbcurrently going for $1,130 per night with a three-night minimum stay and offers ocean views from multiple decks (some rooms have deck access). Its exterior has old Atlantic City charm, while the interior, which features a sundeck and other ocean views, is restored and updated.

Heather Colache, director of the Atlantic City Film Commission, tells NJ Advance Media that no one has applied for filming permits using the “Jersey 2.0” name, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t filming.

“Good, bad or ugly, it’s a popular TV show,” she says of “Jersey Shore.”

Besides the boardwalk, attractions like Ocean Casino Resort and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are within 10-15 minutes of Atlantic City’s home of “2.0” distribution. Tony Boloney’s Pizzeria is even closer on Oriental Avenue.

But particularly interesting, here is this note from the owners to the Airbnb customers who stay there:

“In an effort to combat noise issues and out of consideration for our neighbors, we have installed noise sensors on the property to monitor noise levels. We do not record any type of audio. This is strictly to ensure noise does not overshadow a reasonable level, particularly in the evening. All we receive is a timestamped decibel reading. You shouldn’t have to worry as long as you don’t engage in excessive partying.”

Ah OK.

The owners also posted a note stating that “in accordance with Atlantic City rules, we are not permitted to rent to groups under the age of 21”.

It looks like the cast will need to be at least of (legal) drinking age, if not their guests.

The original “Jersey Shore” cast – all over 21 when they first landed for a summer of shenanigans (Pauly was 29) – were based at 1209 Ocean Terrace in Seaside Heights and sold t- shirts at the property-run Shore Store. landlord, Danny Merk, who often appeared on the show to berate his tenants.

But Seaside Heights, like other coastal towns, has since declined requests to film there.

Now, Snooki and company are traveling to different cities (with a few Jerseys in between) on “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” which is currently airing its fifth season on MTV. The final episodes, which still air on “Jerzday” Thursdays, were filmed in San Diego, Calif., and El Paso, Texas.
