Hollywood
comes to Powder Springs Ga.!
For those of you who might not know it, the state of Georgia has a very
large and robust film industry. Outside of New York and
California it is one of the largest film production states in the
country. Going all the way back to the 1970's the Georgia
Film Commission has given incentives to film here in Ga and the result
has been a ton of revenue and jobs. All of Burt Reynolds
"good" movies were made in Ga. Deliverance, Smokey and
the Bandit, The Longest Yard, Sharkey's Machine,
and Cannonball
Run are all Ga movies.
Some recent movies filmed here entirely or in part here that
you may or may not have heard of include The Blind side,
Zombieland, Hall Pass, and The Change Up,Madea
Goes to Jail, Fireproof, We
Are Marshall, Stomp the Yard, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Driving Miss
Daisy, The Gospel, Sweet Home Alabama, The Fighting Temptations, and
Forrest Gump.

So with all the film activity it seems there are just about always
movie crews somewhere. But it is still a big deal when
Hollywood comes to our little corner of the world right here in Powder
Springs! Neighborhood Watch, a
new movie starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and others is currently
filming in and around Powder Springs. Of course for a movie
titled Neighborhood Watch they need a neighborhood and in true
Hollywood fashion there are actually using 3 neighborhoods that I have
previously blogged about as the setting for the film.
Echo
Mill, Amberton,
and Oakleigh
are all very nice neighborhoods here in the area. All 3 have
very nice swim and tennis facilities as well as other amenities likes
parks and trails.
Between the 3 neighborhoods prices range from the low 200's to high
500's
If
you are you thinking of buying or selling a home in Echo Mill,
Amberton, Oakleigh
or any where in Powder Springs or West Cobb, please feel free to visit
my website, give me a call, or send an email.
I have lived in Powder Springs for 15 years and Cobb County
for 32 years. I'm always glad to help!
