Film crews were busy in Spokane last week for a second-unit film shoot of The Joneses, starring Demi Moore, Amber Heard, David Duchovny, Gary Cole and Glenne Headly.

This is a social-commentary movie about a seemingly perfect family moving into a suburb.

Most of the movie is being filmed in Atlanta; just a few scenes were filmed in Spokane, and not necessarily with all of the stars.

However, Spotlight has it on good authority that Duchovny was in Spokane for a few days and even had time to shoot some hoops with some local gym rats.

I have added the first images of Amber Heard as the raven haired Jenn in The Joneses, including both production stills as well as on set photos. The film does not have an official release date at the moment but hopefully we’ll hear something official within the next few months. Thanks so much to Sarah for the photos!

Here is some new details of The Joneses (now renamed The Jones?). According to the article, the film won’t be released until the fall of 2009 at the earliest.

The $8 million indie film The Jones starring David Duchovny and Demi Moore was scheduled to wrap a 27-day shoot Thursday.

Earlier this week, Mojo stopped by the Alpharetta gated community where most of the action took place.

The Jones features a seemingly happy suburban family that moves into a neighborhood. But they’re hired guns from a marketing firm that is using them to evangelize about products and provide marketing research. Duchovny plays the husband who is conflicted by the entire operation.

How exciting! Miss Heard is set on board another film, this according to ComingSoon!

David Duchovny, Demi Moore and Amber Heard will form the perfect family in The Joneses, a drama with comedic elements that Derrick Borte is directing from his own script, says The Hollywood Reporter. Gary Cole has also been cast.

The story, a social commentary, centers on a picture-perfect family that moves into a suburban neighborhood and immediately becomes the toast of the town, loved and envied by all. But the reality is they are a commissioned fake family put together by a marketing company as a way to introduce new luxury-level products to neighborhoods around the world.

Duchovny plays the fake father, a man undergoing a crisis of confidence because he is living a lie.

Moore is the mother, a career-driven woman who struggles with her growing feelings toward her fake husband.

Heard plays the fake daughter who is trying to seduce her fake dad while looking for a rich man.

Cole plays a neighbor.

The film is eyeing a mid-October start in Atlanta.
