A new movie starring Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig is set to film in the Asheville area, according to the Wilmywood Daily, a film industry blog.

The comedy caper has opened up offices in the Asheville area, according to the website, and is accepting crew resumes.

The film will shoot mostly in Asheville, with a couple of weeks in Wilmington. According to IMDB.com, the movie is set to release Aug. 14, 2015. The movie database website lists the film's title as "Loomis Fargo."

Production is also supposed to start July 7. Producers include Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame, and Danny McBride is listed as one of the writers.

McBride, a North Carolina School of the Arts graduate, made his acting debut in the Asheville-based film "All the Real Girls." The 2003 film featured Asheville native Paul Schneider as the main character; he also contributed to the screenplay. Comedian Galifianakis is also a North Carolina native; he was born in Wilkesboro.

The film is based on the $17.3 million cash robbery of the regional vault of Loomis Fargo & Company in Charlotte in 1997. The heist, which was largest cash robbery in the United States at the time, was organized by an armored car driver and vault supervisor.

The blog says that people interested in working for the crew can send resumes to uacresumes@gmail.com with your position in the subject line. For more, visit http://wilmywoodnc.com.
