Anchorman 2 Set Drive By From Melissa from On Location Vacations on Vimeo.

As the cast and crew of Anchorman 2 is about to start their third week of filming in Atlanta, we thought it would be a good time to check in with where they’ve filming so far, and what we know about where they’ll be filming next.

Lat week, they were spotted filming at Atlantic Station, 1155 Peachtree Street, at a house near Irwin St NE & Krog St NE (below), at The Silver Skillet Restaurant, at 1080 Brady Avenue, and at the Northside Tavern (where Will Ferrell was also seen hanging out).

When they’re aren’t on set, the cast has been working out and having dinner at local restaurants, including Two Urban Licks.

Below are a couple more photos from Friday’s shoot at The Silver Skillet, and you can check out a “drive by” look at the set in the video above.

Anchorman 2 is currently set-up to film next at the Olymipic Flame on Marrietta Blvd in Atlanta, which they’ve renamed “Champ Kind’s Whammy Chicken” for the shoot. Filming is expected to take place on Monday, 3/11 and Tuesday, 3/12.

Anchorman 2 will reunite director Adam McKay and the movie’s original cast, including Will Ferrell, after 9 years. The sequel picks up with Ron Burgundy and his news team entering the 24-hours news cycle era in the late 70s.

Filming in Atlanta will take place through the spring. The movie is also expected to spend at least a few days filming in NYC later this year.

CL Casting is handling all extras casting in Georgia.

  5. Any idea how long they’ll be in ATL?

    Got to meet Will Ferrell (dressed as Ron Burgundy!) when they were filming in the Campanile building but still would love to see some more Anchorman filming around my neighborhood.

    We got a notice in our building about the Campanile filming (for Teaching Manheim). Will keep my eyes peeled for more notices.

  7. Thanks Christine for the info. I was able to see Will Ferrell at this location. They are also set up with trailors at Landmark diner. I saw Paul Rudd at that location. They don’t want pictures taken of them in there costumes.

  8. Thanks! So you can see the location where they are filming on Valley Rd?

    Ppl keep saying they are strict about pics but (just as an FYI) you can take pics of anything on a public street it isn’t illegal or anything, I just wrote a lot about this in the NYC Field Guide.

  9. Christine, that is awesome information. Of course we don’t want to interrupt any filming but would definitely love to see the crew! Do you know if any filming will be taking place later this week or weekend? We will try to spend as much time in Atlanta as possible in hopes of seeing the actors! So awesome.
    I also know they are doing casting calls for “extras”, if that’s the case, I’m in!
    But anyhow, I’ll be onthe lookout for any familiar faces! Thanks!

  10. Anchorman 2 is currently setting up to film an ice skating scene in the courtyard of Peachtree Center, 235 Peachtree St NE. As it is a private office building complex, security will be tight.
