Edgar Allen Poe’s horrifying tale of a murderous man driven mad with guilt is being shot in, none other than New Orleans! The film, The Tell-Tale Heart, has brought in such actors as Rose McGowen, Patrick John Flueger and Peter Bogdanovich as part of this creepy cast of characters. But darker themes are not new territory for horror flick-chick Rose McGowen! Previously she was cast in movies such as Scream and The Black Dahlia- not to mention her television appearances on the series Charmed. Don’t let his roles in Footloose and The Princess Diaries fool you! Male lead Patrick Flueger is no stranger to the scarier special effects himself, having previously been featured in Law and Order: SVU and CSI: Miami. This haunting tale is set to hit the theatres in early 2012. But the filming is already underway in Louisiana… and right in time for Halloween.
There are dramas, documentaries and shorts. And there are, of course, beau coup offerings by Louisiana filmmakers focusing on the issue that locals hold near and ear, from the BP oil spill to the state of New Orleans' public education, and from coach Dale Brown to crawfish.
