Scenes are expected to be shot at a mock playground in front of Abbot Hall and outside the Old Town House during the day today; near Memorial Park Tuesday afternoon; and at Phillips and Lee Auto Service (now Lamansoff Auto Repair) on Wednesday.

Large equipment trucks were already arriving in downtown Marblehead early this morning and Location Manager Mark Fitzgerald was directing traffic outside of Abbot Hall.

This is expected to be the "rolling tire scene" when David Spade's character rolls through town inside a giant tire. Shaquille O'Neal, who plays the town police officer, is expected to stop the tire at the end of the rolling sequence.

Parking will be restricted around the Abbot Hall set from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today.

Though the filming is weather-dependent and Marblehead will be getting rain most of this week, here are the posted parking restrictions, approved earlier this month by the Board of Selectmen.
