The Conjuring 3 Begins Shooting This Summer in Atlanta
I'd venture to say that one of the most anticipated horror movies of the past few decades is the third (and final?) chapter in The Conjuring series. While it's sad to hear that director James Wan will not be back behind the camera to direct this third entry (after all, he helmed the previous two), supposedly we are in good hands as The Curse of La Llorona director Michael Chaves was hand-picked by Wan to lead the charge on The Conjuring 3. And it looks like Chaves will be guiding franchise stars, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, sooner than expected as today, we have word that The Conjuring 3 is set to begin filming in Atlanta on June 3rd. This update comes on the heels of recent plot developments surfacing which seem to indicate that The Conjuring 3 will be quite different from The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, but will still be based on a true story. From what we've heard Wan say about the plot of this new film, it isn't hard to connect the dots to the strange case of Bill Ramsey … [Read more...] about The Conjuring 3 Begins Shooting This Summer in Atlanta

Marvel’s The Eternals Will Shoot In Atlanta This August
x More than a decade of storylines come to a conclusion in Avengers: Endgame this April, after which the future is considerably murkier for the MCU. The consensus seems to be that the universe’s next Phase (if they’re even sticking to the Phase idea after Endgame) will shake up what we expect from Marvel Studios movies. And one clue as to what’s coming is the confirmation that The Eternals is expected to begin filming this August in Marvel’s favorite shooting location, Atlanta. That’s being reported by Discussing Film, with MCU Cosmicalso claiming that the production has been brought forward after the farrago surrounding James Gunn’s departure from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. If this goes ahead as planned, then it seems that The Eternals will be Marvel Studios’ big summer movie for 2020, which may indicate the direction that they’re heading in post-Endgame. For those unfamiliar with the project, here’s the … [Read more...] about Marvel’s The Eternals Will Shoot In Atlanta This August
