Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman were at Perimeter Mall today filming their new movie Identity Theft. Seth Gordon, who directed Horrible Bosses directs this comedy in which McCarthy’s character steals the identity of Bateman’s character and hilarity ensues. Amanda Peet also stars in the movie. The film was initially about a man stealing another man’s identity. Bateman, who is a producer as well as star of the film, had the script rewritten for McCarthy after seeing her on Bridesmaids. McCarthy was inundated with offers after her academy award nominated performance and chose Identity Theft as her next project. Let’s hope it’s as funny as it sounds.
Tamara, so was the mall closed to regular people, and they had like stand ins to make it seem like a crowded mall or were these real shoppers?
Real People. They may have stopped some people from walking through the shot but those are real shoppers in the background who stopped to watch the filming. The picture was taken by a random shopper. 🙂
Jason Bateman
