Check Out The Trailer For A New Movie Filmed In Augusta
The trailer for a new movie filmed in Augusta has been released, and it looks really good! If you’ve been paying attention then you know the CSRA has been getting a lot of attention from the movie industry lately. I think that’s so cool. It’s awesome that we can showcase our area to the entire world. We can let them see just how beautiful it is here in the CSRA.
The new movie is called “Five Star Murder”. It was filmed at the historic Partridge Inn in downtown Augusta. According to IMDB, the plot of the movie is about people who are trapped in a historic remodeled 5-star Hotel with an eclectic group of strangers who refused to evacuate during a hurricane. Caroline must work with concierge Marcos to discover who killed the hotel’s maître d’ – or end up dead next.
After watching the trailer, I definitely want to check out this movie. You’ll be able to stream it on Tubi.
Add this to the list of movies that have been filmed here in the CSRA over the last few years. If you’ll remember Clint Eastwood filmed several scenes from his movie “The Mule” here in Augusta. Mel Gibson, as well as Dennis Quaid, have also shot movies in Augusta and the surrounding area recently. We’re just becoming more and more of a destination for shooting movies, and I absolutely love that!
Here’s the trailer for the new movie filmed in Augusta called “Five Star Murder”.

5 Great Horror Movies, From Gore Hits to Psychological Classics
With Hollywood shut down due to strikes from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), production of upcoming shows and movies is shut down. This includes festivals, film premieres, press tours, and even the upcoming Emmys in September.
The writer’s strike began at the beginning of May, with the actors guild joining just last week. Both unions share the same reasons for striking. This includes getting paid a living wage to meet basic needs, receiving higher residuals (financial compensation paid out to actors whenever TV shows or movies they’ve appeared in are replayed on streaming and syndication), and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be regulated to protect talent and writers’ jobs from being completely taken over. For the first time in more than 60 years, Hollywood actors and writers are on strike simultaneously, with no signs of ending anytime soon.
The End Is Not Near
SAG-AFTRA’s president Fran Drescher said a vast majority of actors “are just working people just trying to make a living, just trying to pay their rent, just trying to put food on the table and get their kids off to school.” She added that everything that we, as consumers watch, are “filled with people that are not making the big money.” $27.73 per hour is how much the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported as the average pay for California actors in 2022. However, the BLS noted in the data that actors aren’t paid full-time year-round due to the nature of the job.
With no end date in motion, we’ve come up with a series of lists of entertainment to watch until production begins again. Take a look below at our list of five fantastic horror films that will make you a fan of the genre if you’re hesitant. There’s a little something for everybody on this list, with paranormal thrillers that will have you jumping out of your seat to psychological horror films that have you questioning your own sanity.
