Who Dat dere know when dem production start dates start? Three potential blockbusters start production in Louisiana this year!





I start to put faith in release dates when studios actually release a PRODUCTION start date, and today we've got three of them via "Production Weekly."  And boy are they big films.

First up is the reboot of Fantastic 4, which begins production March 31st of this year in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  While the film has a director, Josh Trank, none of the four main characters have been cast yet, so expect to hear some announcements soon.  Fantastic 4 will hit theaters June 19, 2015.

In another tale of science run amok and dinosaurs going generally apeshit on humans, the fourth film in the Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World, starts rolling June 2nd also in Louisiana.  Colin Trevorrow will helm the project while Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Jake Johnson, and Chris Pratt are part of the unconfirmed cast.  Jurassic World chomps its way into the multiplex on June 12th, 2015.

And finally in the fifth installment of the endless battle against Skynet, Terminator: Genesis will begin battling the machines on April 21st of this year in New Orleans, Louisiana.  GAME OF THRONES director Alan Taylor will direct Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor.  AH-NULD also returns to play the iconic role that made him a star.  Terminator: Genesis, phased plasma pulse rifles its way on screen July 1, 2015.

Strange to me that all three films are shooting in Louisiana.  The tax breaks must be great.  Either that or the producers really love gumbo.
