becozy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Guess it's true! Casting call from GEORGIA: Motor City Casting Call: Russians, thugs, diner cook, cops, scars and more! Atlanta casting call in post #7 This contradicts previous info on filming in Louisiana...unless it's "in addition to"?? It started out with Michigan subbing for Detroit, then Berlin (confirmed), and 'casting calls' posted for Louisiana...guess we will be keeping eyes open for more! Source Motor City, starring Gerard Butler, is prepping in Georgia through September 15th with plans to shoot here through November 9th. Butler will play a recently released felon who begins tracking down the men who framed him. Gary Oldman was set to play the film's villain and Amber Heard the female lead but both have dropped out of the project. The site indiewire.com suggested the "the delayed schedule may be to blame (lensing was originally slated to begin in the spring)." This will be the solo directorial debut for Albert Hughes, who formerly directed Dead Presidents, From Hell and The Book of Eli with his brother Allen.

Don't even know if it's 'confirmed' as I can't find any notices for production on GA sites, nor 'casting calls' for Georgia. As soon as we know more, we will post!

shirsan Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Atlanta? I thought this was being filmed out of country. What happened? I love it. Atlanta is only 4 hours away. I can't make the trip myself, but others in the area may have a great opportunity to go. How long will they be filming there? Love him absolutely, Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesmerized Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Atlanta? I thought this was being filmed out of country. What happened? I love it. Atlanta is only 4 hours away. I can't make the trip myself, but others in the area may have a great opportunity to go. How long will they be filming there? Love him absolutely, Sandy Hmmm...Atlanta? I'm in PA but want to visit Turner Field (Braves baseball park) at some point. (Have 25 parks under my belt so far.) Maybe a combined trip? If I could see my Mets at the Braves and see Gerard Butler at the same time that would be awesome! (Mets are there Sept 28-30th) I've never tried to meet a movie actor before. So how does one do that? (respectfully of course) I've met singers and ball players but don't know how movie making works. Anyone in the Atlanta area, or going there, that offer suggestions? Singers and ballplayers usually sign autographs near their buses. (Or if you are lucky enough to get a backstage pass.) Does Gerard have a routine for this type of thing? Don't want to invade his privacy but would love to get a picture with him and see that smile in person! (Wouldn't we all! And some of you have I see!) Can fans watch the filming?
