My wife and just got back from a weekend getaway to New Orleans. For no apparent reason, they're filming The Dukes of Hazzard there, despite the fact that it's set in Georgia.

Their car staging lot was a block from our hotel. We got to watch them filming some chase scenes. I was particularly amused by this one car. The real driver is on the roof, controlling the car through hydraulics. The actors (Bo and Luke) are just sitting there. The back seat has a camera operator and one other person (director? producer?). Notice how everybody else is wearing helmets?



P.S. My Nikon is back from the factory and is now focusing properly. It arrived only a few hours before it would have been too late.
