Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Jason Bateman Film Shoot in Rye Again This Sunday

Warner Brothers’ adaptation of a book by Jonathan Tropper, “This Is Where I Leave You,” will be shot in Rye on Mead Place this weekend. The stars of the movie are Jason Bateman, Tina Fey and Jane Fonda, although we do not have confirmation that they will be on the Rye set, according to Rye City Deputy Clerk Diane Moore. Bateman is a Rye native, born here on Jan. 14, 1969. He moved to Salt Lake City, Utah with his family four years later. 

 The production company will be staging vehicles in Car Park 4. About 100 to 150 crew members are expected and parking will be reserved for production vehicles on both sides of Mead Pl. The film crew will be using the Locust Avenue Firehouse for staging.There will be some traffic detours during filming, and parking may be congested. Police ask residents to please plan accordingly.

The movie is about a man, played by Bateman, whose father dies but asks his dysfunctional family to fulfill his one last request- to spend seven days together under one roof, according tohollywoodreporter.com.
