Cheryl over at The Decatur Minute announces that Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 (aka “H2″) will be filming in Decatur next week!  However, she doesn’t provide specific locations, so we might need to figure that out on our own.

The movie stars Malcolm McDowell, Brad Dourif, Scout Taylor-Compton, and Danielle Harris.  However to me, Howard Hesseman has the best character name of the bunch. “Uncle Meat”

Looks like 2009 is shaping up to be “The Year of the Zombie” for Decatur!

In other “Decatur is becoming Hollywood’s choice locale for B-Movies & TV pilots” news, Cheryl also reports that ABC is planning on filming a pilot at the Old Courthouse next week!

When did we become so darn popular?  Anyone want to go in on a double-decker tour bus with me?

As a resident of North Candler St, Andrew recently received a letter from Sony Pictures alerting him that scenes from the upcoming film “Zombieland” would be shot at our own lovely Hi-Tech Gas Station on March 2nd and 3rd.

According to Sony’s letter, the “action/comedy” movie stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Superbad’s Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin and is “the story of one man’s search for love in a world run amuck with…you guessed it…zombies!”

In addition to filming at Hi-Tech, a short scene will also be filmed at the intersection of N.Candler and Sycamore.  This will require the closure of N. Candler between E. Howard and Sycamore for approximately 4 hours.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – we must stop arguing over development and address our rampant zombie population!  Forget C-2/R-60!  Smart growth ain’t all that smart when you got no brains!
