Downtown Norcross Being Transformed For Movie

NORCROSS, GA — Movie filming will shut down a street in downtown Norcross this week, as the city gets a makeover courtesy of Hollywood.

South Peachtree Street, between Jones Street and Holcomb Bridge Road, will be closed for the movie crew from 9 a.m. until about 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Downtown will reportedly be made over to resemble a California beach town for the film "Finding Steve McQueen."

Shops and restaurants in the area will remain open for business and parking will be available at city hall, in the employee parking lot next to city hall and at other locations not along the closed section of street.

Police say the film company will have security on hand to redirect traffic when necessary.

Police are advising motorists to avoid the area if possible.

"Finding Steve McQueen" is based on the true story of the largest bank heist in U.S. history.

Reportedly starring Travis Fimmel, Kate Bosworth, Lily Rabe and Forest Whitaker, the movie does not yet have a release date.
