The Community will be getting a little extra publicity this year. Ashton
Kutcher, Katherine Heigl and Tom Selleck star in Five Killers, a feature film
set and filmed in part in the community.
Described as a light-hearted action comedy, Five Killers features Ashton
Kutcher as a CIA assassin who meets and falls in love with Katherine Heigl in
France (where the photo above was taken). Afterwards, he gives up his
assassin “business” to become a family man.
The couple moves to an idyllic, suburban Georgia neighborhood to be near
her parents. After several years of wedded bliss, Ashton Kutcher’s character
realizes there are several contracts out on him, and chaos ensues. Action
sequences and a block party will be filmed in the community in May and June.
So if you’re looking for your own piece of Hollywood right here in Georgia,
you may want to consider doing a little house hunting at New Manchester
and Riverbanks now. And if you hear gun shots while looking for homes, don’t
worry, they’re just blanks.
The community is a large neighborhood in Douglasville. With Sweetwater
Creek State Park next door, the ideal location for nature based activities is
minutes away. And at 20 minutes to Midtown (down speedy Interstate 20), all
that Atlanta has to offer is in your backyard. Downtown, Midtown, and
Buckhead, Vinings and Georgia Tech offer more clubbing, dining and shopping than
any human should tackle in a weekend.
The Community embraces all the best qualities of America’s classic
neighborhoods and places them 20 minutes from downtown, Vinings/Galleria and the
airport, and right next to a 2,500-acre nature preserve.
Here you can walk from your home to a park in seven minutes or less, even
if you pause a couple of times to greet your neighbors. There are parks by
the dozens - playgrounds, social parks, a skate park, off-leash dog parks
and even a bocce park. And at the heart of it all, there’s Founders Park -
where you are likely to find residents laying on blankets, playing flag
football, checking e-mail (it’s a WiFi hotspot), and gathering for concerts,
movies, and other community functions.
There are also neighborhood activity centers with swimming pools, a fitness
center, a basketball court, tennis center, an athletic field complex, and
even our own private mountain biking trail.

Five killers in my neighborhood
A few months ago we learned that the new Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Hiegl,
and Tom Selleck movie "Five Killers" would be shooting in our neighborhood.
Our subdivision is actually split into two parts, with the majority of the
shooting being done in the other one, but some being shot right here on
our idyllic suburban streets.
Since we don't frequently have _movie stars filming around our homes_
(http://mom-101.blogspot.com/2007/09/clooney-watch-day-3.html) , it's been a
pretty big deal around these parts, with neighbors buzzing about an extras
casting call and many folks attempting to interact Ashton and _the director_
(http://twitter.com/robluketic) on twitter.
I hadn't really thought too much about it all (you know, _Wedding of the
Century_
(http://www.motherhooduncensored.net/motherhood_uncensored/2008/12/most-post-partum-mothers-know-the-unwritten-laws-of-keeping-your-sanity-which-
include-but-are-not-limited-to-never-steppin.html) approaching peoples!)
until a guy, who turned out to be the stunt location coordinator, knocked on
my door a couple of weeks back and asked if I'd be willing to let them
crash a car through our back fence.
Certainly not something you get asked every day.
After he added that they'd replace and repair everything, I asked what our
next door neighbor, a sensible engineering type had said, and he gave me an
odd look and asked "Why do you want to know?"
Seemed like a fair question to me, since if they ran it through our fence,
it would have to go through their fence, and if he said "yes," then perhaps
we'd be interested in doing it.
Even so, I had to wait to discuss it all with the huz and get back to him.
As more details were revealed, we were told that it would shoot two to
three nights and would involve five houses on our streets. We researched
compensation for these types of things, and calculated (as a group) what it
would take for us to participate - two nights where we'd probably get no sleep,
a good couple of weeks without our yards and fences, and a lot of movie
types (some very cute movie types) traipsing around our yard and perhaps
taking gratuitous photos with our children that we can send to the grandmas and
say "LOOK IT'S ME AND MAGNUM PI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our completely reasonable requests (which did not include me licking Tom
Selleck's mustache I SWEARTOGOD) were met with a $350 offer, to which most of
us sort of rolled our eyes at.
Don't get me wrong. We didn't expect to make any money off this whole
thing, nor are we trying to take advantage of a poor HUGE GIGANTIC MOVIE STUDIO
who's building a pool for one of the model homes for one stunt scene and
that apparently just wants to offer a few naive Southern families a few
bucks to basically take over their yards and homes for a few days.
OHMAHGAW Ashtin Kucher jest used mah pisspot y'all - maybe Ah'll be on TMZ
er somethang!
But most of us are bunch of cynical Northerners who'd much rather walk up
the hill, plant our asses on a bunch of lawn chairs, and ogle the movie
stars while they trash our neighbors' backyards and keep their kids up at
night.
Let Tom Selleck Watch begin!

Tom Selleck Joins Ashton Kutcher in "Five Killers"
Posted by _SexiVixxEN_ (http://www.flixster.com/user/sexivixxen) 53 days

Full Story: _http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=12682..._
(http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=12682&count=0)
Tom Selleck ("Magnum PI," "Las Vegas"), Catherine O'Hara (Best in Show)
and Martin Mull ("Roseanne") have joined the cast of "Five Killers," a
Lionsgate action comedy that stars Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl. The
project is being directed by Robert Luketic (21). Filming starts this month in
France and Atlanta for a June 4th, 2010, release.
The story follows a hitman (Kutcher) at the top of his game who falls for
a computer tech (Heigl) and decides to hang up his guns. Years later, their
suburban bliss is ruptured when he finds out there's a hit out on him,
forcing him and his spooked wife to go on the run.
Selleck and O'Hara will play Heigl's overprotective father and adoring
mother. Mull will play Holbrook, Kutcher's handler.
Bob DeRosa wrote the original screenplay, with additional work by Ted
Griffin.

What're you talking about? I make my own movies. The ultimate Slumdog!
Anyway, we have been invaded by movie trucks, camera boom trucks, and
peripheral gear. There were several scenes right in front of my home and in back of
it. Police have cordoned off my street and Chancery lane. We could not
take pictures with flash and close-up. I had some neighbours take extra
pictures hopefully I can share some here with you other slumdogs. I cannot share
proprietary pictures at least until the movie is released. I will check on
the release and share here. I will check AJC, Lionsgate, and SS2 coverage
and clippings and my community management newsletter. Exciting stuff. I
could have played Ashton Kutcher's stunt double. I look better than him anyway.
I'm a bad man! Haruna.

Subject: Movie filming in my backyard. Five Killers. Starring Ashton

It is exciting. Lionsgate films and SS2 productions have set up their
props on my back deck and front porch. Through the week they have been
manicuring our lawns for this. The brown Camero and camera truck drive on my
friggin backyard. I invited some friends and family but by contract we can only
watch from inside our home. I managed to take some pics of the pre-roll.
The filming will be today, tomorrow, and some on sunday. The kids are
excited. So remember to see Five Killers starring Ashton Kutcher and Tom Selleck
in a theatre near you soon. You will see my home. It is going to be on the
market soon. Haruna.
