Quite a bit of prep going on, my favorite being the guy who’s tying fake foliage to some of the trees.”
Let try and find out!

i imagine it’s anchorman 2, lots of film trucks and some 70s limos and RVs in the old big lots furniture parking lot
I imagine it is the movie version of my life. It is about damn time.
Comedy or drama? Action-adventure?
Family drama
You stay classy, Decatur!
When film companies are using public spaces such as cemeteries, is there any supervision from the city to ensure no damage is done and no graves are desecrated?
Savannah had to severely restrict access to their cemeteries due to damage and lack of respect for the graves from film companies, ghost tours, etc.
I’ve talked with friends in the industry before and they have to submit a large amount of plans and guarantees about the way the cemetery will be used and the condition it’s in now and how they might improve the condition if not simply leave it as is. I think there are a lot of new rules after what happened in Savannah!
Yes, the process is supervised by Cemetery staff, who are onsite.
i’m guessing “The Vampire Diaries”
That was my guess too! Waiting for verification.
Lots of activity this morning. Looks like a miserable day to be out there too.
Pretty sure it’s Anchorman 2. Was in the cemetary this morning walking my dog ( yes brrrr!!!!) Lots of 70’s cars and the crew/cast camp at Suburban has more. Plus the trucks say Paramount and when I googled it, that’s the studio producing it. Keep on the lookout for Ferrell, Wiig, Applegate, Rudd, Carell at our best spots!
Katie Abel at the city says it’s for “Teaching Manheim”, which apparently is another name for Anchorman 2.

Who wants to help me stalk, hunt and capture Paul Rudd? I have a nice clean attic we can keep him in!
I’m in! He’s my pretend husband, but splitting the labor and sharing sounds fair.
Cold, windy day to be standing under that rain rig…
