2010 Films are coming to Louisiana!

Rumors are a buzz but many of these productions are here with offices in the state so soon there will be some contact information for these productions. Louisiana seems to have a slew of productions coming to the state. The biggest rumor, and it still is just a rumor, is that Pirates of the Caribbean 4 might show it's head in Louisiana this year. Drive Angry with Nicolas Cage is going to Shreveport in January which will be filmed in 3D. Green Lantern with Ryan Renyolds is in Pre-Production in New Orleans and will be filming soon. Red with Bruce Willis as well as Kane and Lynch, also with Bruce Willis, will be in New Orleans in early 2010. Having said that, here are some more listings that I have searched the internet and found to either be coming to Louisiana or thinking about coming to Louisiana. You never know until they set up offices which ones of these will actually film in Louisiana.

Filming Louisiana Magazine and Website

This year has been a good year for Films in Louisiana. Though the long drawn out process of changing the tax incentives from the dreaded sunset of 2010 to no scale downs and no sunset, set into motion the most impressive incentives in the country. Now Louisiana is the most competitve in the United States and it shows. For the last half of the year movies scrambled to get into the state to take advantage of the new 30% incentive. Two Areas went a bit further with additional incentives locally. Jefferson Parish has an additional incentive on top of the state as well as Shreveport and Caddo Parish which offers the most generous in the State of Louisiana.

With all the incentives and the fact that our crew base and film industry services have grown this year again FilmingLouisiana.com offers crew, talent, services and locations to list themselves for free for industry professionals.
