By Oz Online | Published on December 2, 2019

Before you sit down to your Thanksgiving dinner this year, be thankful for the countless film and television productions filming in Atlanta. Here’s what we saw, where we saw it, and what those codes were this November in Atlanta.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has returned. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (production code: TT) has started filming in earnest and has been spotted throughout the metro area. The upcoming series is being produced for Disney+ and brings Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, and Daniel Brühl along with it. Signs for the production were up at Jimmy Carter Boulevard and I-85 on November 18. Two days later, on the 20th, filming took place in Barnesville. The next day, a basecamp was set up at Duluth High School near downtown Duluth. Most recently, on November 23, signs were once again spotted on Jimmy Carter Boulevard.

Freaky Friday the 13th (FF13) was also spotted this month. Starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton, the thriller is quite a different take on the Freaky Friday concept, featuring a serial killer and teenage girl swapping bodies. The film rounded out October by filming in Cumming on the 26th. After that, crews set up at Denmark High School in Forsyth County on October 29. November brought filming to Covington square on the 4th, and to Sawnee Mountain Park on the 6th. Between November 13 and 14, signs were placed on I-20 and Maynard Terrace near downtown. Filming then moved to Norcross on the 16th, also being spotted on the 19th and 20th. A basecamp was set up at One Heart Church off of North Peachtree Street.

A few months ago, we first spotted signs for The Underground Railroad(UGRR), an upcoming series for Amazon. Based on the Pulitzer-winning novel by Colson Whitehead and starring Thuso Mbedu, Chase W. Dillon, Aaron Pierre, and Joel Edgerton, the series is set in a world where the historical Underground Railroad is just that—an actual, literal network of underground trains, rails, and stations used to help escaping slaves reach free states. The Underground Railroadwas first spotted this month in Madison on November 2. Signs were posted near Cartersville on November 6. Filming moved to Stone Mountain two days later on November 8. On the 10th, crews worked south of Covington, with signs up at Covington Bypass and Flat Shoals Roads. Additional filming would be done in and around Covington between November 13 and 14. On November 15, crews worked in Mansfield.

Chris Pratt’s The Tomorrow War (BONEYARD), which up until recently was titled Ghost Draft, filmed in Buckhead at Terminus 100 on October 26 and 27. The sci-fi film then moved to the Civic Center MARTA station downtown, where red special effects smoke could be seen from the Connector and beyond. Crews would return to the station on November 10 for additional filming. On the 14th, scenes were shot near Underground Atlanta. Four days later, on the 18th, the upcoming movie once again shot near the Civic Center station. Most recently, on November 26, filming took place in Midtown.
