East Point hosts filming for upcoming TV show "Constantine"

35mm movie camera - cca

East Point - The Jefferson Park neighborhood is hosting a film crew shooting scenes for an new TV show. The filming is to take place Monday and Tuesday.


Councilman Lance Rhodes said in a newsletter:
Bonanza Productions will be filming a new television series that will include scenes from Jefferson Park.

The filming is scheduled for July 17th, 18th, 21st and 22nd.

The shoot is taking place around Bryan Avenue and Harris Street.

It is for a new fantasy/horror TV show, called Constantine.  (Watch the trailer here, if that's your thing.)

Funny thing is the notice from the assistant location manager confused Jefferson Park with Fairlie-Poplar in downtown Atlanta, but that isn't all bad.  The neighborhood could be confused for worse.

 

It isn't East Point's first time on the screen. Tinseltown came here to film Prisoners and also Devils Knot.
