"Mockingjay," "Dumb and Dumber 2," "Fast & Furious 7" filming updates

ATLANTA — "Mockingjay," "Dumb & Dumber 2" and "Fast & Furious 7" are all filming in Atlanta.

So are several other projects. More on them in a moment.

The third in the "Hunger Games" series, "Mockingjay" is downtown at the Georgia Dome. A celebrity web site posted these exciting photos of Liam Hemsworth standing around, waiting for a car to drive him to the set.

"Fast & Furious" actually was right next door, in the Centennial Park area, but that one keeps moving around. After a scene at Historic Oakland Cemetery and a southwest Atlanta correctional facility F&F appears headed for work OTP, at this huge industrial facility off 85 in Norcross, and also down at the old Fort Gillem site south of the city.

"Dumb and Dumber To" (incorrect wording intentional - that's the official name of the movie) is filming in Cabbagetown today. Here's an exciting photo. See if you can spot Jim Carrey's signature bowl-cut hairdo.

His costar Jeff Daniels has been out and about a little bit since getting to Atlanta. He and the "Dumb" crew got together with Jennifer Lawrence and some of the Hunger Gamers for dinner at Watershed the other night. Daniels also was spotted at Stats downtown over the weekend. Interestingly that restaurant is located close to where "Mockingjay" and "F&F" had been filming. Lots of action downtown these days!

In other filming news two new projects are working in Cobb County - "The Red Road" and "Line of Sight."
