LOL. Homers ignore the reality and now even facts that they posted. Atlanta is destroying Louisiana atm when it comes to film. As I said, GA falls in 3rd behind the obvious California and New York.
The difference I've noticed is that not only are productions being filmed in New Orleans, but they're actually being set there as well. The city has a mystique and character that makes it a great setting for stories...Atlanta, not so much.
There are movies and series ABOUT New Orleans. Off the top of my head, the only major movie in recent years that was about Atlanta was the black teeny-bopper movie 'ATL', and the only landmark in that film was the Cascade skating rink.
Obviously its not meant to be literal,but Savannah vs New Orleans has its similarities more alike than people like to admit.
Mardi Gras vs St.Patrickd Day.both growing port cities,culture and history
Wha'st dumb is you making statements like SLC is an urban paradise and trying to compare a Winter Olympics vs a Summer Olympics.As if just because they both are olympics,they must be superior.

What to Expect When You are Expecting
Alll whee Atlanta is the backdrop
Why does this even matter anyway?
New Orleans has a smaller corporate presence than Charlotte or Nasville,It has ONE f500 company.
Even Nashville has 9 or 10.
Yet you wanna talk about where a movie is set?
Obviously you are trolling.Its ok to have a preference but if being in a city where movies are set is the highest on your priority then why are you not there but in ALL places HOUSTON?So where is Houston in film or televison?Really?Wow.Just wow!
Louisiana
Economic Impact of the Industry
The motion picture and television industry is responsible for 8,655 direct jobs and $377.9 million in wages in Louisiana, including both production and distribution-related jobs. Over 3,400 of the jobs are production-related.
Georgia
Economic Impact of the Industry
The motion picture and television industry is responsible for 22,843 direct jobs and $1.3 billion in wages in Georgia, including both production and distribution-related jobs. Over 6,500 of the jobs are production-related.
Are they building major motion picture and television studios FROM THE GROUND UP in Louisiana, aka Pinewood Studios in Atlanta? If so, nobody's heard of it.
We were talking about number of productions, which Louisiana was ahead. We were never initially talking about economic impact.
