On September 21, 2005 Warner Bros Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures announced production of the film "The Reaping" has picked up again in Louisiana. "The Reaping," which stars multiple Oscar winner Hilary Swank, is being filmed in and around St. Francisville and Baton Rouge.
"On behalf of our cast and crew, we are pleased to be able to complete our filming in Louisiana and to be part of the region's recovery effort," said Stephen Hopkins, director of "The Reaping."
"We are encouraged by the actions of Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, which come on the heels of the announcement by L.I.F.T. of their two on-going productions in Shreveport," said Alex Schott, director of the Governor's Office of Film and Television. "We are also pleased Disney has started pre-production of their feature film 'The Guardsman,' starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher, and that the independent production 'Chlorine' will also move to pre-production with a cast including Ray Liotta and David Arquette."
