Two crime fighters of a very different ilk are shooting in Atlanta now: Superman and Scooby-Doo.

The movie and TV listing from the Georgia film office is pretty typical of what Georgia has seen since the fall of 2024 with 26 productions currently shooting. This is the same number from a year ago.

DC Studios, courtesy of Atlanta resident and co-CEO James Gunn, is currently shooting the latest “Superman” movie out of Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, even causing a stir among prisoners at a local federal prison, according to TMZ.

Netflix is shooting three series at once in metro Atlanta: new horror drama “All the Sinners Bleed”; the second season of Bert Kreischer’s “Free Bert”; and the new “Scooby-Doo: Origins” featuring actors like Mckenna Grace and Atlanta resident Paul Walter Hauser.

In Savannah and Macon, Glen Powell has been filming Judd Apatow’s comedy “The Comeback King,” playing a washed-up country singer.

“Green Bank,” a horror thriller, is not listed on the film site but is in production locally starring Brittany O’Grady, Tatiana Maslany, Kumail Nanjiani, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Jim Belushi.

Coming soon is “Turpentine,” a horror film featuring Melissa McCarthy and “Heated Rivalry” star Connor Storrie.

Hulu is also shooting a dramatic pilot called “Southern Bastards” starring Kevin Bacon, while two NBC pilots recently wrapped and await their fates: a reboot of “The Rockford Files” with David Boreanaz and “Puzzled” starring Damon Wayans Jr.

The biggest project to wrap in the past month is the fourth season of Sylvester Stallone’s “Tulsa King” on Paramount+.

The Georgia film office provides an ever-changing list of active productions, but it is not necessarily complete because companies are not obligated to update the state office.

Some films and TV shows go by pseudonyms on the film office page if requested by the producers. The next “Superman” movie, for example, is under the name “Exodus.”
