Movie Will Be Filmed In Birmingham Over The Next Month

BIRMINGHAM, AL - If you are in Birmingham and think you might have seen Golden Globe Best Actor nominee Aaron Echkart strolling through the streets of the Magic City, you aren't just seeing a doppelganger - at least not for the next month.

Birmingham is the shooting location of a new action film featuring Echkart, Ben Mckenzie and Courtney Eaton. The film, "Live," will shoot in Birmingham from May 15 to June 16.

According to a report by Alabama Media Group, Echkart will play a police officer who seeks to rescue the police commissioner's kidnapped daughter, while a reporter films the chase live (hence the title).

The filming will involve some street closures downtown on Tuesday, however:

• 6-9 a.m. - intermittent closures on 3rd Ave North at 22nd Street North
• 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. - intermittent closures on 22nd Street North from 3rd Ave N to 1st Ave North
• 2:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. - Complete closure of 1st Ave North from 22nd Street to Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd.

More closures will be announced by filmbirmingham.com as they become public.
