Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt Headed to Atlanta to Film ‘Passengers’

Date:

Sony Pictures’ ‘Passengers’ starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence will film in Atlanta.

Georgia’s film industry is growing one movie at a time. The next major motion picture to film in the Atlanta area is Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt’s new movie ‘Passengers’.

The Wrap reports that Tom Rothman gave the thumbs-up to Passengers with a budget of about $120m after tax incentives.Jennifer-Lawrence-Stalker-Deemed-Dangerous-919-2-650x365

 

Passengers is the script that brought attention to writer Jon Spaihts many years ago, and led to him writing the first draft of what became Prometheus. It also caught the attention of Keanu Reeves, who developed it for quite a while, with plans to star. But that effort ultimately failed, even as other actors such as Reese Witherspoon and Rachel McAdams were in line for the second lead role.

The script is about a man, to be played by Pratt, who is among thousands of passengers on a colony ship partway through a decades-long interstellar journey. Awakened early from cryogenic sleep by a system malfunction, he finally makes the decision to wake another sleeping passenger, to be played by Lawrence, to avoid spending decades alone on the ship.

According to ComeTourGeorgia, filming for ‘Passengers’ should start in the next few weeks. Expect more casting calls, auditions, and other opportunities in the next few hours.
