"American Reunion," the fourth installment of the "American Pie" movie series, recently began shooting in Conyers, according to the Conyers-Rockdale Economic Development Council.
Shooting for the Universal Studios production, which will be headquartered in Rockdale County, began this week and is slated to wrap around August. The movie is using some of the same warehouse space on Sigman Road used by "Fast Five" when it filmed in Conyers last year.
Other shoot locations include Heritage High School, Newton County High School, Olde Town Conyers, and Costley Mill Park, as well as locations in Atlanta.
Directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, "American Reunion" follows the 10 year reunion of the characters from "American Pie" and features much of the original cast from 1999, according to IMDB, including Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Jason Biggs, Tara Reid, Jennifer Coolidge, Chris Klein, and Thomas Ian Nicholas.
Conyers/Rockdale County has been the site of a number of movie productions recently, including "A Joyful Noise" and "Fast Five," as well as TV shows such as MTV's "Teen Wolf," AMC's "Walking Dead," and some shots for WB's "Vampire Diaries."
