A major motion picture, "Zombieland," is scheduled for this weekend to shoot scenes in Newnan for the upcoming horror/comedy starring Woody Harrelson. Filming is scheduled to begin in downtown on Saturday. Shooting will take place on a portion of Greenville Street in the vicinity of East Broad Street and the Court Square. Shooting will also take place at a home on Wilcoxon Street and on LaGrange Street at the railroad overpass.

“We want to invite citizens to come out and experience downtown Newnan at its best with all the different wonderful events going on, said Gina Snider, city of Newnan public information officer. Citizens should be advised there will be some street closings on Sunday but detour routes will be provided.”

“Zombieland” is a production of Sony Pictures and Zombieland Productions, LLC. The film is directed by Ruben Fleischer. The post-apocalyptic film has been described as "Dumb and Dumber" meets zombies.
