While filming is taking place, no parking will be allowed from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on sections of Elizabeth Road, Thompson Road and Sheldon Road.

Stars in the film include David, Eva Mendes, Jon Hamm and Kate Hudson.

The plot of the film centers around a man -- played by David -- who quits his job at an electric car company. The company then skyrockets and is worth billions, and David's character is left with nothing. He later moves to a remote Massachusetts island and discovers his former boss -- played by Jon Hamm -- is renovating a home nearby, and David's character plots revenge.

Marblehead Patch will be posting additional information about the shoot as it becomes available.
