Post-Katrina/BP Gulf Coast Locations?


I watched RED on DVD last night and noticed there were scenes filmed in Pensacola, Florida, Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans--all areas along the Gulf Coast that were affected to varying degrees by Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill. I'm sure the makers of RED got tax breaks for filming in the region, but still good on them for bringing in some much-needed business and moral support.

Pfft anyone affected by the spill who wasnt lazy or stupid made a fortune off that spill. My brother, a commercial fisherman, settled for 180k bucks, bought a house, truck and boat and still works as a fisherman bringing home over 4k a month. Not bad for someone who never made it past the 9th grade :)
