Jason Bateman is back in Atlanta filming “ID Theft,” a comedy also starring Melissa McCarthy and Amanda Peet.

Here’s a link to an exciting video clip of him standing around, getting ready to film a scene downtown in the 191 Peachtree Building that someone posted on YouTube.

The movie, in which Bateman’s character has his identity stolen by a woman, also has filmed in Midtown and at Perimeter Mall.

We’re told that Bateman has already been spotted dining at Maggiano’s in Buckhead, while McCarthy and her husband were seen enjoying a recent brunch at South City Kitchen Midtown.

Bateman is no stranger to Atlanta, having spent a good bit of time here filming the buddy comedy “The Change Up” with Ryan Reynolds.
