Old BJ's Being Used as Movie Set

Local site being used in film starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn.

If you drive by the old BJ's location on Peachtree Industrial and Jimmy Carter boulevards, it appears a "Costco" store is moving in. But it's not the future site of the mega member-based retailer; rather, it's part of a set for a Hollywood movie.

The former BJ's building is being used as a set for “Neighborhood Watch,” the comedy starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, according to multiple sources.

The producers have been filming all over metro Atlanta and the location is just one of several used for the film.

Distributed by 20th Century Fox, the film is due out July 2012.
