Adams Morgan Movie Shoot Stops Traffic

WASHINGTON, D.C. - There was a traffic jam of Hollywood proportions in Adams Morgan on Thursday.

The corner of Adams Mill Road and Columbia Road NW was being used for a scene of a romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson.

The untitled movie, which is being produced and directed by James L. Brooks, will be in the D.C. area shooting scenes over the next four weeks. The movie will spend a total of 14 weeks in the region, including pre and post production.

The film's shooting is expected to pump about 10 million into the local economy.
