For years, Hollywood has turned Louisiana into its own character on the big screen, but they've also used movie magic to transform it into pretty much any place you can dream of in the universe. How many of these movies filmed right here in Louisiana have you seen?

Obviously, we know cinematic greats like Steel Magnolias and Interview with the Vampire were filmed in Louisiana. Heck, Louisiana was basically one of the characters in the movie, but what about the movie Year One? That movie was set in biblical times and was partially set in the desert... As in miles and miles of sand. That was filmed in the Sibley and Shreveport areas of Louisiana. How about Disaster Movie? They turned downtown Shreveport into New York City for that one. And who can forget the Coast Guard movie with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher? It was called The Guardian and they built a huge wave pool in Shreveport to film it.

In short, Louisiana has been the backdrop for a whole lot of movies, not only because we offer a variety of filming locations, but because we give good tax credits.
