Tom Cruise movie starts filming in metro Atlanta

The Tom Cruise movie "Mena" has begun filming in metro Atlanta.

He's been spotted several times around town already. I'm told he booked private dining quarters at Doraku Sushi in Buckhead the other night.

He and a bunch of friends also dined at Ecco, a popular spot in Midtown, recently. They enjoyed flat iron steak with roasted radish, wild mushroom and salsa verde; charcuterie and artisan cheese boards; along with pizzas and a selection of shared plates.

And he posed for this great photo with a fellow diner at a Buckhead restaurant as well.
