Drivers and residents should be aware that over the next several days, a film crew will affect traffic in Chamblee.

According to a notice from the Chamblee Police Department, the film crew is working starting Wednesday on Pierce Drive near Himalayas Indian Restaurant, close to the intersection with Peachtree Road.

There will be a full day of filming on Monday, April 22 (from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.), which will lead to a lane closure of Pierce Drive, the police department said.

There will be fake guns and gunfire on set, the police department warned.

“Traffic will be disrupted in the area,” the department wrote.
