The movie is  about a crime boss’ young getaway driver (Elgort's character) who finds himself embroiled in a doomed heist. The bank robbery at “Perimeter Trust,” the fictional financial institution the movie folks created, ends in a shoot-out. Here's a short clip of the simulated firefight this morning:

Dunwoody Police officers are providing security and traffic management. Chief Billy Grogan said via Twitter that the road won’t be shut down entirely but that traffic would be held intermittently for a few minutes at a time from about 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. during days of production.

Things wrap here at "Perimeter Trust" on Monday.
