What’s filming in Decatur?
The city did not comment on what was actually filming in Decatur this week, but there are lots of film projects currently going on in and around the city.
While nothing is verified, we do know that ‘Turpentine’, a film with Melissa McCarthy and Connor Storrie, is slated to begin filming today, May 11th. And we also know that the new live action Scooby-Doo film is in the area.
The film could be anything! We’ll have to see what we recognize on screen later!
Happy filming to the crew! And stay safe and out of traffic to the public!
