Tom Cruise has begun filming his new movie "Mena," in metro Atlanta. It's shooting in north Fulton County at the moment and will also do a good bit of work in Cherokee County this summer.

The movie, set in the 1980s, calls for retro threads (and wheels) and apparently some hevage.

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

It gets hot down here, hence his unbuttoned top, evidently.

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!
