Midtown filming leads to street closures this week

Hollywood South, er, Atlanta, will keep the cameras rolling in Midtown this week that will result in some street closures from Monday, April 30 through Wednesday, May. 2.

There will be a full street closure for filming on 6th St. between Juniper and Peachtree streets, and a lane will be closed on Juniper between 6th and 7th streets.

Several films have been shooting in recent weeks in the metro area including “Trouble With The Curve,” starring Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake, “A.C.O.D.,” starring Amy Poehler, Adam Scott, and Jane Lynch, and “ID Theft,” starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.

Of course, the Farrelly Brothers’ retooled “The Three Stooges,” which was shot some in and around Midtown, was released earlier this month. On May 11, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting," will be released.

Last summer, the Lionsgate film was shot at various locations around the Midtown area including Piedmont Park and Smith’s Olde Bar. The film, which stars Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock and Anna Kendrick among others, is based loosely on the popular pregnancy manual, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.”

The movie features four couples who are all expecting children and how they deal with the upcoming additions to their families. Watch the accompany movie trailer to see many familiar locales in our Midtown Patch.
