DanielB Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I recently watched the new Jason Statham action film "Homefront", which I am told was set entirely in Louisiana, and after the opening scene has finished it switches to a montage of Louisana, including one scene of street running, with the tracks running right past the school Statham's character takes his daughter to. I'm trying to find out where that location is, as the places I've looked online don't seem to mention Louisiana on the list of states which have locations where street running takes place. I'm hoping someone on here might know of it, as it looks to be quite an interesting location. Any help will be most appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Bear in mind that although a film may be "set" in a particular place, they are rarely filmed there - for example, a recent film set in Afgahnistan, was filmed entirely in USA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Haven't seen that movie, so I don't know what it looked like, but a quick google suggested it was filmed in New Orleans, googling further I found a place called Gretna LA in that are - anywhere close looks-wise?

The director specifically filmed entirely in Louisiana as he is fond of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1905 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There are lots of places it could be in the New Orleans, Baton Rouge or Lake Charles areas. I haven't seen the movie, but when you say "street running" do you mean there was a train going down the street or there were tracks running down the street. New Orleans has street cars ("Street car named Desire"). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feather River Bill Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The movie website IMBD.com has New Orleans, LA as the only film location. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2312718/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think Glorious NSE might be right - Google maps seems to show the street from the movie in Gretna. It seems as good a possibility as it gets. I knew that asking here would provide an answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
