I'm with Stein on this one.
If you need to film the interior, you can either buy the Lionel or make your own.
Any thing smaller than O will probably be to small to film the interior. If you just need a train passing by to look realistic, HO (1:87) might be better.
Again, the choices are limited when it comes to subways.
Does it have to be a New York City Subway? The Long Island Railroad goes into New York (and manhattan), but they have longer "EMU" cars. These aren't technically subways, but only train buffs like us would know the difference (in fact, some of the train buffs can't tell the difference either).
Island Model works makes large, scale Double decker LIRR MU cars (called MP-70). These are only 20"s long, but they are big. There are no interiors, but they would not be hard to fabricate, especially if you only need a few shots. Interior plans are available on the web (will dig up the link it interest).
These are "heavy rail", not quite subway cars but they might make more sense for what you want.

The decals and things required to paint them are on the page.
