They've built a movie set in that semi-abandoned shopping center near the river end of Causeway. The set is made to look like a town street and it looks like they'll be shooting soon.

Couldn't tell you. Possibly either The Tomb or that Seth Rogan Apocalypse movie. Maybe Oblivion. Haven't worked down there in some time.

To be clear, the OP is referring to Jefferson Highway in Jefferson Parish.

The End of the World
Jonah Hill
James Frano
Rihanna
Emma Watson
Jason Segal
Jay Baruchel
Seth Rogen
Danny McBride
Aziz Ansari
Craig Robinson

While attending a party at James Franco's house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the apocalypse.

And it looks like all of the cast actually plays themselves.

It's just east of where Causeway meets Jefferson Highway. There used to be a Frostop in the parking lot and a Piccadilly Cafeteria is across the street.



They took the old building at the back of the property and spruced it up with window displays, mannequins, and parking meters. They built fake buildings opposite this and painted signs all around.

ETA: I'll try to post some pics this evening.

They're shooting The Tomb in Nola. Doubt the OP is about that though. Set doesn't seem to match the description of the film.

I ate lunch in the strip mall today. As a few others have said it is the Seth Rogen/Jonah Hill movie.

IMDB says that the new Percy Jackson movie is filmed in Canada. No mention of NOLA. Maybe its something else?

What do you do? I'm jumping over to Percy Jackson in a couple weeks after my current show wraps. For anonymity reasons, I understand if you don't want to say.
