Acadiana based film on the Syfy channel Feb. 6

Here’s further evidence that the decision to give tax breaks to movie productions filming in Louisiana, and specifically Lafayette, has not been all for naught. Bullet Films’ House of Bones will play on the Syfy Channel on Saturday, Feb. 6. at 6 p.m. CST. Filmed entirely in Acadiana, with many instantly recognizable local sites, House of Bones is a fictional account of TV ghost hunters investigating a haunted house. Bullet films, a Lafayette-based (via Los Angeles) production company, cast two Acadiana residents, Lafayette Entertainment Initiative Director Marcus Brown and local musician Collin Galyean, to play major roles in the film. In addition, numerous other Acadiana residents were employed as production assistants, camera operators, grips, editors, and other technical postitions.

The Syfy channel sucks. It would be better if there was nudity, well, that's doubtful too.

Thanks for the heads up, Dege. Saw the trailer at the Acadiana premiere of Wolvesbayne and simply MUST see it.

So thanks to a big movie coming to town we can say that real dollars have been pumped into the economy. However, is there any report out there that shows how much money has been put in vs. sucked out in credits from these little fly by night companies that setup shadow offices in Lafayette? Also, can we please quit giving away the farm just so some in the area can rub shoulders with moderately known Hollywood stars? Didn't Louisiana learn it's lesson with the offshore oil industry and all the money we have let the feds walk out of La with?

And yes, I have watched most of the stuff that has hit SyFy. That is some bad stuff. Oh well, they will have completed their tax credit commitment soon enough and will haul butt out of town to take advantage of the good nature of some other community.
