"Jayne Mansfield's Car" Filming in Decatur

--


Some of the filming of Jayne Mansfield's Car will be filmed in Oakhurst
this week.

From nola.com
The film, which will be directed by Billy Bob Thornton -- his first time behind the lens on a non-documentary since 2001's "Daddy and Them" -- and which will star Robert Duvall, John Hurt, Kevin Bacon, Robert Patrick and Ray Stevenson, will begin shooting this summer in Georgia, according to Deadline.

That's because the movie, despite the title, doesn't really appear to be about that ill-fated 1967 night on U.S. 90 after all. Rather, it's a dramatic comedy, one that "revolves around the culture clash of two families, from different continents, in 1969."

That's two years after Mansfield's death.

A report on Collider expands on the synopsis: "The story revolves around a guy whose wife leaves him for an Englishman and moves away to England. 20 or 30 years later, in 1969, the wife dies but wishes to be returned to Alabama where she grew up, so the English family meets -- and clashes with -- the original family that she abandoned."
