Hollywood Of The South

Where is "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" being filmed? In New Orleans. Post-Katrina Louisiana is doing some brisk movie-production business. 'Curious Case' stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and has the highest budget of any movie ever shot in Louisiana, $150 million. Several other high-profile projects have been shot in Louisiana, including "Deja Vu" with Denzel Washington (pictured), "Premonition" with Sandra Bullock, and "Factory Girl" with Guy Pearce and Sienna Miller.
