Owen Wilson and Ed Helms are filmed scenes from their new comedy "Bastards" in Marietta this week. I ran over to the set before things wrapped on Tuesday.

Ed and Owen star as two brothers on the hunt for their long lost father. The project also stars Glenn Close and Terry Bradshaw.

The scene that filmed yesterday involved a funeral and a scuffle. Have your family gatherings ever devolved into shouting matches? I think we can all relate!

Here are some photos:
