Robert De Niro and Zac Efron’s Dirty Grandpa Team Up May Be Coming to Tybee Island

Robert De Niro and Zac Efron are now busy filming their latest movie and it according to Savannah Now, they may be coming to Tybee Island's beaches, which means that this beauty of a place may get to be seen on the silver screen pretty soon again.

Playing grandfather and grandson, De Niro and Efron's movie entitled Dirty Grandpa is expected to be released in August. According to Daily Mail, De Niro will be playing a sex-obsessed and foul-mouthed former Army general alongside Efron, his prim and proper young relative that will be tying the knot soon.

Tybee Island City Council's members are going to consider this week if they will grant the request from Grandpa Productions LLC for filming a scene on this latest comedy movie from De Niro. Based on the information submitted with the agenda of the council, the filming is expected to start this coming April.

Even though the movie was not named in the information submitted, filming has started in Atlanta this January for Dirty Grandpa that also listed Dermot Mulroney and Aubrey Plaza in the cast.

Tybee Island Development Authority and Main Street program's executive director, Chantel Morton, stated that the scenes that will be shot in the place are connected with this said project. The location manager of the film, in a letter addressed to the residents and businesses of the city, reported that the filmmakers are planning to use the beach in between 16th and 17th streets as well as several private property locations. In later part of April, a part of 16th Street may be temporarily closed for filming purposes.

Once the council approves, Robert De Niro's Dirty Grandpa is going to be the 3rd movie in a span of 2 years that used Tybee Island as a backdrop.
