Comic Book Resources is claiming that executives from Warner Bros want to take advantage of the monumental tax incentives New Orleans
has to offer for Christopher Nolan's Batman 3.

"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."


Batman 3 is apparently scheduled to begin production between March and April, 2011.

Batman 3 comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

Hell I say bring it on! That area needs revenue bad and the idea of a major Hollywood production like that in town will help bring in local cash and interest in the area. Sounds like a win/win for the people of Louisiana.

The shining world of the seven systems. On the continent of Wild Endeavour. In the mountains of Solace and Solitude there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords. The oldest and most mightiest race in the Universe. Sworn never to interfere. Only watch...[/SIZE][/B]

Any idea on how some of the older areas of New Orleans fared in Katrina? I remember the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die" had some parts from there and I think "Dracula 2000" as well.

I wonder if there is going to be a Killer Croc in Bat 3...


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Ahhhh missed your posts.

Gothic location works for me. Killer Croc might be in this, I like SwellGuy's comment.
