Cedartown streets will once again grace the silver screen in the Universal Pictures movie "Identity Theft" slated to come out in 2013. While no actors were actually in the area, the film crew was shooting scenery and some shots of a car driving down the roads near Cedartown.

According to people on site, there were some actor "look-alikes" who were filmed driving the cars from a distance.

Sources said they were shooting some scenery near Dugdown Mountain and also a horse farm on Cave Spring Road. In the movie the scenery near the horse farm will be in Kentucky and the scenery near Dugdown Mountain will be the Tennesee Valley.

The film crew set up a base camp in a parking lot behind Cedartown’s First Baptist Church. The crew ordered lunch from Cedartown's local Petro's Pizza.

The filmmakers are also going to be shooting some scenery in the Rome area. Some scenes were also filmed in Atlanta at locations including 191 Peachtree Building and the Perimeter Mall.

The movie will star Jason Bateman ("Horrible Bosses" and "Arrested Development") and will be directed by Seth Gordon ("Horrible Bosses" and "Freakonomics") and is a comedy about identity theft.
