Tom Cruise's new movie "Mena" has started filming in metro Atlanta.

It's been located in the Roswell area, in north Fulton County, and plans to do a good bit of work in the Ball Ground area, in Cherokee County.

It's set in the 1970s/80s, hence these vintage threads and wheels:

The plot, per imdb: "A pilot lands work for the CIA and as a drug runner in the deep South during the 1980s."

In his downtime Tom's been spotted at Ecco, a Midtown favorite, and Kyma in Buckhead, where he posed with a fellow restaurant patron for this great photo!
