He and Zac have both filmed in Georgia before. He was here for "Furious 7" and Zac filmed both "Dirty Grandpa" and "Neighbors 2" in the Peach state. "Baywatch" is scheduled to film in the Savannah/Tybee area in March and April.

Other projects to film in the area recently have included "Gifted," with Chris Evans and Octavia Spencer, and "Magic Mike XXL" with Channing Tatum.
