The gang from "The Hangover" film franchise will apparently be filming the third and final installment in Nogales, Ariz.
The Tucson Film Office, which has remained mum on exactly what movie is being filmed in Nogales, posted a picture on its Facebook Monday from Wyatt Bell, who lives in the border city.
"Warner Brothers is changing up my hometown, Nogales, Arizona, to look like Tijuana, Mexico, for the filming of 'The Hangover Part III'," Bell wrote below his photograph, which showed an arch straddling Morley Avenue that said, "Tijuana The Most Visited City in the World."
Bell's mother, Celine Bell, said members of the film crew were transforming several buildings along Morley Avenue to look like Tijuana including adding a facade to Bracker's Department Store to make it look like a currency exchange and painting a bright Southwest mural on the side of La Cinderella children's clothing store.

Film Office officials would not comment Monday and took down the picture early Monday afternoon. A city official said the picture was mistakenly posted by an intern.
The film's producers have kept a tight lid on the project and did not return inquiries this week.
The plot of "The Hangover Part III," as reported by Screenrant.com, has the guys back on the road, but this time they are heading to a mental institution to break out Alan (Zach Galifianakis).
The movie is scheduled for release May 24.
