Universal's major Summer 2012 release has finished filming in Hawaii and is now working in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We are searching for a piece of freeway in order to do a major stunt sequence for our film. We need at least a half mile of opposing parallel freeway/roads (3 or 4 lanes wide in each direction) with a divider (6-8 lanes total). It can be divided with K-rail or some other barrier. The freeway/road can be ground level or elevated. The road should be reasonably flat and straight. It can be concrete or asphalt. It cannot be a bridge with a superstructure above it. |
|
| We need control of this for 2 weeks (prep, 4 days shooting and strike). We will entertain closing a road, a road under construction, an abandoned road or anything you can show us pictures of. Be creative. This is a major action piece of Battleship and we will travel to get it right. |
