Filmmakers want to recreate shootout scene in the same location, and some residents are upset about it.

I wasn't even aware that there was a Boston Marathon movie in the works staring Mark Wahlberg. My initial reaction is that it's a little too soon. This was an incredibly tragic event that touched many lives, not just in Boston, but throughout the country. But apparently, it's been in pre-production for quite some time.

This week, Watertown residents voiced their objection to the scene of the shootout with the suspects being recreated in the exact spot it originally took place.

Residents of the Laurel St. neighborhood were notified with a flier from CBS Films.

Click below for the story from Boston.com. Do you think it's too soon for this?
