"The Best of Enemies" Coming Back to Government Center for Filming

Staff Report From Middle Georgia CEO

Monday, June 26th, 2017

The Macon-Bibb County Government Center (700 Poplar Street) will again be transformed into a film set for the upcoming “The Best of Enemies” movie on June 29 and 30, and July 5. Crews will set up on the 29th, film on the 30th, and break down on the 5th.

The Best of Enemies used Government Center as a set earlier in June and needed to come back to finish filming. It is the latest in movies filmed here, including Rampage, Need for Speed, The 5th Wave, Trouble With The Curve, Fate of the Furious, and 42. Several television shows have also been filmed here, including Brockmire and The Originals.
 
June 29 and July 5

During setup and breakdown on June 29 and July 5, Commission Chambers will be closed to the public. The public will be able to access the building through the front doors, but are asked to be mindful of the work going on.
 
June 30

During filming on June 30, the front doors and the foyer will be closed to the public all day. Poplar Street in front of Government Center will be closed from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., and there will be intermittent closures on D.T. Walton Way and First Street. (A map is of the area below shows these areas.) Please follow all direction from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office when driving through that area.
 
The public will need to access Government Center through the First Street entrance, and use the elevator to get to the second and third floors. Employees are asked to enter and leave the building through the door on the first floor near the Emergency Management Agency, and also use the elevator to go between floors.
