Mardi Gras movie studios
Stage set for new $30M movie studio in Algiers
Private developers will help New Orleans remain competitive for film and television productions when they erect a new 200,000-square-foot film studio in Algiers.
Read and a collection of private partners are under contract to acquire 15 acres in Algiers to build the first ground-up studio in the New Orleans area. Read also has an option on an adjacent 17-acre site.
The $30-million project is 100 percent privately funded, said Read. The facility will include one 100,000-square-foot soundstage and 100,000 square feet of various office and production suites.
