Major motion picture filming in Canton

A local company, Eyevox which is based in Ridgeland, is behind a big production in the City of Lights.

It has the look and feel of a Hollywood set, but this movie is based in Mississippi, written by three people who live here and is now being filmed by a Mississippi company. Opie Cooper is the director.

"We can shoot a city scene here, we can shoot a country scene here, we can shoot just about anything here. We can do winter scenes if we have to, we can do summer scenes if we want to, its just, Mississippi is just a great place to make movies", said Cooper.

The movies is called "Big Bad".

It's a throw back to the 80's thrillers like "The Goonies".
