If traffic is REALLY AWFUL tomorrow morning around the Marietta Square area, you will be able to attribute your unfortunate commute and grid-lock to the fact that a movie is being produced in Marietta Square and Powder Springs.
According to the Marietta Patch, local roads will be closing today in preparation for Friday's shoot.
Day and night time shooting of "Neighborhood Watch," starring Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jonah Hill, Will Forte and Richard Ayoade will take place in Marietta and Powder Springs on Friday.
Film crews arrived today in Marietta to give buildings in and adjacent to the Square an aged appearance, paint signs, cover awnings and replace window displays in stores, according to a Marietta City news release earlier this week.
Shots around the Square will be used to portray the fictional All-American city in the Twentieth Century Fox production directed by Akiva Schaffer. Friday evening, crews will turn off lights around the Square and on top of buildings to create a dark, scary, alien-friendly atmosphere. In the movie, Ben Stiller and three other members of his community form a neighborhood watch group, which is the last hope to save the neighborhood and world from being destroyed.
If you need to get to Marietta Square tomorrow, be aware that there will be partial and full closures of parking spaces beginning as early as 6AM Friday morning and full or intermittent lane closures beginning at 3PM.
According to Movie Insider, the movie is scheduled to be released to theaters late in July 2012.
How exciting that a movie is being filmed in Marietta Square. I'm pleased to disclose that a former home-buyer client of mine took the pictures here of the Powder Springs Echo Mill neighborhood which is one of three communities in Powder Springs being used for the filming of Neighborhood Watch. I'm Very Proud of CADY SCHULMAN!
