A television crew is taking over the historic Old Courthouse on the Decatur Square for the next couple of days to shoot courtroom scenes for a pilot series “Drop Dead Diva.”
The show is a Sony Pictures Television production for the Lifetime network. The Josh Berman creation is about a model in training who dies and finds her soul entering the body of an overweight attorney.
The film crew was at work Monday and is expected to be at the courthouse through Tuesday, said Leslie Stumpff, heritage education coordinator/rental coordinator at the DeKalb History Center, which is housed in the neoclassical granite building.
The circa 1898 building, whose interior was rebuilt after a 1916 fire, is a popular rental spot for weddings, parties and meetings.
The courtroom scene is being shot in what was once the Superior Courtroom, now an empty ballroom with 14 arched windows and terrazzo floors. It was redressed to look like a courtroom for the film shoot, Stumpff said.
