Why did True Blood leave us?
Good question. They only shot here for about 4 or 5 days last season. I don't yet know what went into the decision.
Well, at least we'll always have the credits. Sniff sniff.
How odd that "Youth in Revolt" is coming here for reshoots... Did they do ANY principal photography in the Shreveport area?
And why is Shreveport/Bossier not trying to court more TV shows? It seems the investments (even for shorter-run cable series) are longer term commitments than films. And I would think, forgive me if I am wrong, that TV could open the area up to a larger community of professionals.
Just thinking out loud...
Hold onto your knickers, chaps... the SAG strike could stop this train faster than a pit stop.
hey guys
due to all the negative press about the Brolin arrest and drama and police abuse brutality, we lost Brolin's next $80 million film "Josh Hex"
and we lost the $50 million Stallone film "The Expendables"
to New Orleans.
And no telling what else. So when people say the Brolin incident didn't have a negative effect on the film industry and local economy, they are just avoiding the truth at all cost. Mayor Glover is running industry away from Shreveport faster than the crime rate ever did.
Reply to ChrisBrad concerning Youth in Revolt.
They filmed the movie in the Royal Oak Area of Michigan last year so they decided to do the reshoots here.
86% of TMZ users think the Shreveport, LA cops should be prosecuted after pepper spraying Josh Brolin and tazing Jeffrey Wright last July.
