MOVIE MOJO
Tax incentives, metro locales fit indie film ‘Joneses’
By RODNEY HO

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Friday, November 21, 2008 The $8 million indie film “The Joneses” starring David Duchovny and Demi Moore was scheduled to wrap a 27-day shoot Thursday.

Earlier this week, Mojo stopped by the Alpharetta gated community where most of the action takes place.

Actor David Duchovny (right) talks with writer/director Derrick Borte Monday on the set of the film ‘The Joneses’ in an Alpharetta subdivision.

“The Joneses” features a seemingly happy suburban family that moves into a neighborhood. But they’re hired guns from a marketing firm that is using them to evangelize about products and provide marketing research. Duchovny plays the husband who is conflicted by the entire operation.

Duchovny, in a green jogging suit, was shooting a scene in which a character played by Lauren Hutton stops him, asks him into a limousine and tries to entice him to take a promotion. It was an especially chilly morning, and during breaks Duchvony jumped up and down and paced to stay warm.

The “Californication” star, who recently had split from his wife, Tea Leoni, and entered a facility for sex addiction, wasn’t allowed to talk to the media. (In fact, when Mojo and a publicist even got near him, a security guard shooed us away.)

But producer Andy Spaulding was happy to talk about the film. Recent enhancements in Georgia’s tax incentive laws drew Echo Lake Productions to the metro area, which has plenty of suburban subdivisions that fit the mold that the film was seeking.

He also liked the fact that the city has experienced film crew (more than 80 percent was locally hired) and plenty of quality area actors to fill in secondary roles. He even placed a couple of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” prominently into a party scene as extras.

Kristi Zea, “The Joneses” production designer and a producer, has an illustrious list of credits including “Goodfellas,” “The Departed” and “Philadelphia.” She spent several weeks with local location manager Michael Riley finding the proper home for the Jones family to live in.

She vetted dozens of homes and with the real estate market cratering, there were plenty of empty ones to choose from. But she needed a house with loftlike spaces, and they were few and far between. In the end, she picked a home that was occupied. This meant the production company had to pay the family to rent a nearby home for a month so “The Joneses” could take over.

“We wanted something upscale but not over the top,” Zea said.

Inside, most of the furniture is covered in white tarp to keep off dirt from scampering production crews. A huge black-and-white photo of the fake Jones family (which also includes rising star Amber Heard) is featured by the dining room. Oversized carnival photo-booth-style photos of each family member are featured up the stairwell.

Among the other locales “The Joneses” used: Kell High School in Marietta, Alpharetta’s Muse hair salon, Pampas Steakhouse and Atlanta National Golf Club.

The film won’t be released until fall 2009 at the earliest, Spaulding said.

Sin arrogancias y muy profesional”
