John Travolta returning to South MS for another Cash Out sequel. Here’s where and when
Just three weeks after John Travolta’s new movie was released, the action star returns to South Mississippi to film another “Cash Out” sequel.
Cash Out 3 was scheduled to begin filming in Miami on March 31 and move to Biloxi on Saturday, April 5, for a two-week shoot.
Filming is expected until April 24, according to Morgan Casting, which is providing supporting actors to appear alongside Travolta in the film.
Travolta will again star as master thief Mason Goddard. After an attempted casino heist in the second Cash Out, called “High Rollers,” he has trouble staying retired and is drawn back into the life of crime in Cash Out 3.
“In this installment of the saga, Mason is drawn into a heist scheme by his not-too-bright brother for an adventure on the high seas,” according to a Facebook post by Morgan Casting.
“High Rollers” filmed at Scarlet Pearl Casino in D’Iberville and other Coast locations in April 2023. It was released March 14, played at the Grand Theater in D’Iberville and can be seen on streaming platforms.
Location, location
Details of the shooting schedule are mostly confidential and those working on the film told the Sun Herald they are unable to comment. But filming will take place at several locations on the Coast.
The producers were impressed with the Scarlet Pearl Casino and the Coast.
“We are thrilled to have filming of Cash Out returning to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort to showcase our beautiful area,” said Vicki Haskins, director of casino marketing at Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort.
Ocean Springs Aldermen met on Friday to approve the closing of streets in the downtown for the film production on Tuesday.
Papers taped to people’s property in downtown Ocean Springs last week notified residents Cash Out 3 will be filming from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday at The Roost Boutique Hotel on Porter Avenue.
“You will notice an uptick in traffic by cars, vans and work trucks. All driveways and handicap zones will be respected,” the notice says.
Good for the Coast
Besides the thrill of seeing a movie in production in South Mississippi, it’s good for business and the image of South Mississippi and Ocean Springs.
“I just think it’s really good for a small town to have big stories,” said Roxy Condrey, owner of The Roost and several other small businesses in Ocean Springs.
It’s great for the economy of the town, with some of the crew staying in Ocean Springs. It also shines a light on the town and shows people who see the movie the town’s charm.
“We already know it’s special,” she said.
When “High Rollers” was filming, fans saw Travolta on the casino floor at Scarlet Pearl and filming scenes on the beach and other Coast locations.
And Mississippi was listed when the credits rolled.
“It’s really great for the area,” said LuAnn Pappas, CEO of Scarlet Pearl. Besides the exposure the films bring to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the cast and crew were out on the town at restaurants and night spots.
Mississippi Film Office helps coordinate the movies that shoot in the state by scouting locations and providing help with casting, extras, crew and equipment.
Mississippi has one of the strongest incentive programs in the country with a 25%-35% cash rebate on spend and all payroll, according to the film office website.
