A church in metro Atlanta is needed for filming of the movie All Saints.
A church in metro Atlanta is needed for filming of the movie All Saints. This movie is based on a true story about a young pastor who helps save a struggling church in Tennessee by helping the parishioners open their own farm next door. This is a very family-friendly movie, according to Kevin W. Kirby, Paulding Chamber of Commerce. Pictures of the two churches (attached) are similar to what they are looking for.

Guess who's catching the fire in the new movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. If you saw the Captain and Maybelle show that headlined last October's Fright Fest show at Six Flags Over Georgia, you might have a clue. That's right, Captain Chris, who grew up in Douglasville and graduated from Douglas County High School, is the one and only firebreather featured in the new trailer for the Hunger Games movie. The Captain and Maybelle are keeping hush hush about any appearances in the movie itself though. You know, all of that movie signed to secrecy stuff. Until this, the local couple may be best known from season six of the TV show America's Got Talent. After beating out more than 100,000 acts and making it to the quarterfinals of season …
