CANTON, Miss — Morgan Freeman stars as a small-town sheriff in a movie that began filming this week in Mississippi.
Cole Hauser and Jaimie Alexander also are stars in the comedic noir thriller "The Minute You Wake Up Dead."
The Mississippi Film Office said it's among four movies being shot this month around the state, with two more scheduled in March. Those two include "Broken Ties," which will follow "The Minute You Wake Up Dead" in the town of Canton.
Producer Andrew Stevens tells WLBT-TV that Canton is a natural fit for the current movie.
In an email to The Associated Press he said filming began Tuesday.
