Catch Glimpses of Monroe in 'Prisoners' Trailer

Scenes from the upcoming movie starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhall were filmed locally earlier this year.

Though you'll have to wait a few more weeks to watch the film in its entirety, scenes from Monroe can be spotted in the trailer for the upcoming thriller "Prisoners."

Starring in the film are Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, and Melissa Leo.

The drama is about a father (Jackman) whose children are kidnapped and his efforts to find them. Gyllenhaal plays a cop assigned to the case. 

Film crews visited Walton County in February after shooting in Conyers.

In the trailer, notice the scenes of flashing lights in front of a gas station. They were shot in Monroe!
