FCE- Tyson's Run is a movie about an autistic boy's (portrayed by Major Dodson of "The Walking Dead") attempt to re-connect with his father by training for a marathon. Our A-Scene crew found signs and a base camp on Marietta Square two weeks ago, and A-Scene follower Joe Powers shared this photo of a sign he spotted in Fayetteville. It looks like they'll be wrapping up shooting on this one soon. They will be shooting one of the main scenes for the movie in Stockbridge this week.

Thanks to Me To TheMe for sharing the production sign photo, and A-Scene insider Latisha Nance for sharing the production order photo.They are shooting in Midtown on Tuesday of this week.

The IFC comedy, “Brockmire” also used “WTM” when it filmed in Macon and Metro Atlanta for Season One and Two. The Season Two finale just aired last week, and it already has the green light for a third and fourth season. If you start seeing tons of “WTM” production signs, it could be either show filming. “Brockmire” stars Hank Azaria as a Major League Baseball announcer who has a meltdown on air after he discovers his wife cheating on him.

2LS – This is the code for “Life-Size 2”, the follow up to the 2000 comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks. It's finally getting a sequel, although Lohan won’t be a part of the cast. They are filming at a restaurant off of Highland Ave. The film will premiere on Freeform as part of their “25 Days of Christmas" programming. A-Scene follower Matt More shared this picture of a sign on Moores Mill Rd. We've seen casting calls for a "Made for TV Christmas movie for a major television network" in Austell this week but we can't confirm if it is for Life Size.

GED - This is for “Little” starring Justin Hartley (This Is Us) and Issa Rae (Insecure). The A-Scene spotted some “GED” signs at the Lenox Rd. exit off of GA-400 going north recently. If you're a veteran production sign watcher, you know “Night School,” starring Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish used “GED” production signs while it was filming here in Atlanta. It turns out both movies share a common production company, Will Packer Productions. Maybe they just decided to recycle the signs.

PSI- We’ve heard that “PSI” is being used by the film “After”. It's about a young woman who heads off to college and falls for a bad boy with a dark secret.

HW – We’ve seen some blue “HW” production signs around Atlanta recently. Although we haven’t confirmed what production is shooting under the code, we do have a hunch. “Step Up: High Water” is the sixth installment in the “Step Up” franchise and is back shooting for its second season in Georgia. We believe “HW” could stand for ‘High Water’ and the blue background could represent the ‘Water’ part. If you see any “HW” production signs around town or work on the production, share a picture with us to help confirm!

Goodbye Stranger – The film, which will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios, will be filming in Savannah until November. An open casting call for the movie is currently set for August 11th at the Savannah Civic Center.

LOC- The CW superhero series based on the DC comic of the same name. They often shoot in Decatur where a lot of the scenes for “Garfield High” were shot in a local school.

ROBBIE – A new Comedy Central pilot called “Robbie” is about to start filming in ATL and they’re casting for a ton of roles! Casting calls tell us they’ll be in the Douglasville area this week, and they are also shooting a scenes in Atlanta for a puppet show and a youth basketball game.

Emperor – The Civil War-era historical drama has been shooting in Savannah for a few weeks and they’re set stay there until the end of July. It stars Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) and Dayo Okeniyi (The Hunger Games).

Doctor Sleep – Stephen King’s sequel to “The Shining” is expected to start shooting in Atlanta in September. It continues the story with grown-up Danny Torrance, still dealing with the harrowing aftermath of what went down at the Overlook Hotel in “The Shining.” Mike Flanagan has been tapped to direct the film. He already has experience adapting Stephen King novels into film, as he directed “Gerald’s Game” for Netflix last year.

The Righteous Gemstones- This is a televangelist comedy staring John Goodman and Danny McBride. It's shooting in Charleston but enough of our A-Scene followers travel that way that we've been getting questions about what's shooting there.

Divorce Court- We're seeing some casting calls for this one for studio audience members. It's shooting at Tyler Perry Studios so we're not sure if there will be any production signs around.

We need your help!
