If you’re shopping at The Burlington Mall this spring, you could score more than a pair of designer denim at a discount. You may just be an extra in a major motion picture.
Columbia Pictures is set to start production of the film, “Mall Cop” starring comedian Kevin James. The flick is set in a fictitious mall during the holiday season and is a Happy Madison Production — actor Adam Sandler’s company. James has appeared with Sandler previously in “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.”
Filming is schedule to start in mid-March and continue through early May. Most of the movie will be shot after hours, with only select scenes filmed during regular mall hours. The Burlington Mall will also be decorated in a holiday theme complete with a Santa set since the movie takes place in December.
Simon Property Group, which owns the Burlington Mall, notified employees of their retailers in a memo on Wednesday. Location manager Charlie Harrington was set to visit the mall’s stores to share more details on the film.
Harrington could not comment on the film.
