John Travolta Film Transforms Biloxi Restaurant into Movie Set

A production crew has converted the Fillin’ Station in Biloxi into a temporary film space. The restaurant will serve as a local movie set while crews shoot interior scenes.

Production details

Goleman Casting, LLC posted casting notices for the project. The film is titled “That’s Amore!” and will feature John Travolta.

The story follows a man who has never been married. A guarded woman and their families drive the plot and comic moments.

Casting notices and roles

One casting call seeks a John Travolta stand-in. The stand-in will mimic the actor so crews can set up and adjust lighting.

Another notice requests three people to appear as customers at a Chinese restaurant scene. Those roles are listed as background extras.

Filming schedule and street closures

Filming dates are reported from March 25 through April 27. City officials provided the schedule information to Filmogaz.com.

Main Street will be closed from Howard Avenue north to MLK Boulevard while crews work. Officials did not provide a firm timeline for further downtown closures.

Travolta’s recent work in South Mississippi

John Travolta has filmed several projects in the region before. In April 2025, he worked in Ocean Springs on “Cash Out 3.”

He also spent time in South Mississippi for “Cash Out 2: High Rollers.” The area has become a recurring filming location.

What locals should expect

Drivers and pedestrians should plan alternate routes near Main Street during the listed dates. Nearby businesses may see changes while production is active.

The Biloxi restaurant transformation highlights the region’s growing appeal to filmmakers. Residents can expect visible film activity in coming weeks.
