Matt points out that the “Barely Lethal” trailer is now available online and features a scene with the Decatur High marching band. I also noticed a clip from a scene filmed on Decatur Square. Let us know if you see other Decatur locations in the video.
Barely Lethal filmed in Decatur back in December 2013. The movie stars Hailee Steinfeld, Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Alba and is set to be released in theaters in April.
The city’s Katie Abel reports on The Decatur Minute blog that the MTV series “Finding Carter” will be filming at Wahoo! on West College Avenue Monday.
The city blog states “Police will be present handling traffic control as one parking lane on College will be closed as will a small portion of East Lake Drive.”
For those who don’t watch much MTV, Wikipedia states that “Finding Carter” is
…an American teen drama television series which premiered on MTV on July 8, 2014.[1] The series was created by Emily Silver, and stars Kathryn Prescott as Carter, a young teenage girl whose life is turned upside-down when it is discovered that the woman she thought was her mother had abducted her when she was a child.
The series second season premieres at the end of March.
Filming at Wahoo! should be complete by 3pm, according to Ms. Abel.
There’s filming going on at No. 246 in Downtown Decatur this morning.
The Decatur Minute reported yesterday that filming will occur between 7a-12p today and it could result in some traffic delays. We’ve followed up with the city and will update this post when we know more about the project.
In other filming news, Decaturish reported late yesterday that MTV’s Finding Carter would be filming in Avondale Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

So now you know.
The Decatur Minute alerts residents that the upcoming film “Triple Nine” will be filming on Kings Highway this week…
The City of Decatur has issued a film permit to 999 Productions, LLC for filming of a project titled TRIPLE NINE to take place in the 200 block of Kings Highway in the evening and overnight hours beginning today through Friday morning.
Stretches of Ansley Street and Kings Highway will also be used for filming some neighborhood driving shots. To safely accommodate filming, Decatur Police will be directing traffic with stoppages lasting no longer than 3 minutes. Most of this work will be done in the evening and through the night until 8am on July 12.
The production company realizes they are guests in the neighborhood and the cast and crew will treat it with the utmost respect. In general, there will be some noise due to special effects associated with filming such as bright lights and engine noises. Also, the city has given permission to have the street lights turned off during the filming. Additional officers will be present to keep the area safe and secure.
The movie stars Aaron Paul, Michael B. Jordan, Norman Reedus, Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kate Winslet, Michael Pena, Teresa Palmer, Woody Harrelson, and Gal Gado, among others. The filming site “On Location Vacations” calls “Triple Nine” one of the most anticipated shoots of the summer.
IMDB summarizes the film’s plot thusly…
A group of corrupt police officers are blackmailed into pulling off a seemingly impossible heist. They plot the murder of a rookie police officer in order to orchestrate a “999”, code for ‘officer down’, to pull off the heist across town.
