July 27, 2010-Green Lantern

Probably the biggest production to be filmed here in New Orleans since Benjamin Button.  Starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Tim Robbins. With a budget of over $120 Million you can do lots of fun stuff.  This was a disaster scene at a farmers market the set up on O'Keefe Ave. in the CBD.  They shot for about a week and made a huge mess!

July 21, 2010-Memphis Beat
