New Batman Movie is going to be filmed in New Orleans

Although principal photography only recently wrapped on Warner Bros' next tentpole film franchise, Green Lantern, the studio is already hard at work planning for the highly anticipated sequel to The Dark Knight. The latest news on the project has to do with a new, tentative filming location; as executives from Warner Bros want to take advantage of the monumental tax incentives the city has to offer for Christopher Nolan's third Batman installment. It appears the studio's relationship with the New Orleans filming office is at it's peak and neither party wishes for it to end when Green Lantern enters post production in Los Angeles next week.
Location scouting for the untitled Batman project has already begun in Chicago, Illinois, where the two previous films were headquartered. If this new deal finalizes, almost half of principal photography will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana. This deal would be a big help to the studio financially, since it would allow better use of the projected $200 million budget for the film.

It is amazing that Battleship, Twilight and Batman could all be in some stage of production at the same time in our state
not to mention all the other films on every budget level ..

but let it be noted that it is more than just incentives that are bringing films to our state. .... Some states offer higher rebates, but somehow La. has not messed this up along the way as they were forerunners in tax incentives dating back to 03/04
we have the infrastructure fully in place (equipment, trucks, stages, supplies and of course a large and experienced crew base)

I wasn't aware that Battleship was filming here. That's awesome.

In some respects the TI's are more marketable in La. But, yep, over time the state has built up its supply of crews, including skilled craftsmen, and equipment. The program has worked. Hell, it's even provided some work for me representing local home and business owners with reviewing and drafting location agreements.

Just curious:
Anyone know if Ken Del Corall(sp) still represents actors down there?

I haven't heard that name, but I don't deal with talent that much

This is big news for the area. That would be impressive to see all those film in some Louisiana stage. I talked to some Los Angeles crew members this week and they said they would love to work out here again. It is good to know that the Los Angeles guys are having good experiences here as well.
