Baton Rouge Under Consideration for Sci-Fi Movie
WAFB is reporting that Baton Rouge is under consideration as a production location for a major sci-fi blockbuster titled Battle: Los Angeles with star Aaron Eckhart. The Celtic Media Centre sound stage would host the crew and parts of North Blvd and I-110 have been rumored to be locations of possible shoots. No one has confirmed this, but there’s a huge budget associated with the movie which is a great thing for Baton Rouge. The only question I have is:
How did Baton Rouge get chosen to be a shooting location for a movie based in Los Angeles?
Baton Rouge looks nothing like Los Angeles. Well, who cares, it’s a lot of money.
AWESOME! I wanna be in a Sci-Fi Movie.
I think BR could pass for Los Angeles. They just can’t make the same mistakes as the first X-Files movie and have mountains in Dallas.
I guess a general cityscape is just as good as any. I’m interested to see how it’ll look in the final release. We’ll follow this story as more progresses.
