Back in February we spoke to a representative at the production company for Five Year Engagement and they told us that the movie would begin filming during the last week of April, now it looks like they’re right on schedule.
According to a tweet posted by the movie’s director, Nicholas Stoller filming is slated to begin shooting early next week:
A week away from shooting. The panic has begun. Thinking of giving Jason’s character superpower. Can’t affect plot too much.
The Jason he is referring to is of course the movie’s star, Jason Segel, who also wrote the movie with Stoller. Both are already in Ann Arbor, MI, where the entire movie will be shot. And while Stoller is panicking, Segel blew off some steam at an Iggy & the Stooges concert last night.
Segel told the Detroit Free Press that he was walking around Ann Arbor when he spotted the marquee and was able to get into the show. “It was one of the best concerts I’ve seen in my life,” he added.
On Monday, Stoller also tweeted a few interesting photos he took around town, including this one, which prompted Chris Pratt to reply:
