“Will To Succeed,” a major motion picture reportedly starring Helen Hunt, will begin filming in Chattanooga in next few weeks, according to Missy Crutchfield, city administrator of the Department of Education, Art and Culture.
“This is huge,” she said. “It will have a bigger impact on the city than ‘Water for Elephants’ did because it is the first feature film to be shot entirely, or almost entirely, here.”
She said the film is set in the 1970s and is centered around a high school. She could not release locations for the filming, but did say the Chattanooga Film Commission’s Facebook page had clues. The page features pictures and maps of Baylor School.
“It is set at a prep school,” Crutchfield said.

Maybe they'll shoot "New York Nights 2: Chattanooga Hustle" here next, and Missy can even be in that one!
How about "Worst Mayor Ever" starring Ronnie boy?
Who care?
Foolish words above, and another round of trouble-making teabagger lunatic mayoral recalls...In a City that is placing in the top three "Best places To Live" in national magazines across the nation. Some folks have nothing else better to do than soil their own nests for entertainment. I thought rats were the only species that did such.
It will be a film about the accomplishments of Littlefield, his administration, and the City Council. It will be a very short film (don't blink or you'll miss it).
The Hollywood Studio truly picked the prettist campus to film their motion picture. Congratulations to Baylor!!..and to Chattanooga!
