Filming "Due Date"

It's very exciting to have a film crew here in Vicksburg this past Tuesday evening filming a scene on the Interstate 20 Bridge over the Mississippi River. The movie, "Due Date," will star Robert Downey, Jr., and Zach Galifianakis, and the scene here will be of the two crossing the river, headed to Los Angeles for the birth of Downey's character's first child. Doubles to the actors were used in the filming here. The film is due out in November 2010 and is a comedy by Warner Bros. The Director is Todd Phillips. It will also star Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan (Downey's wife). Galifianakis plays his road trip mate in a comedy that Phillips calls "a buddy comedy without the buddies."
