Anthony Mackie Planning Film Studio in New Orleans East

[KingsOfKings]

NEW ORLEANS — The daily paper reports that actor and frequent onscreen superhero Anthony Mackie has purchased a 20-acre site in New Orleans East that he plans to turn into a movie studio. The New Orleans native, and former student at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, hasn’t commented publicly on the plan, but the paper cites sources close to deal in its report. The property, which was purchased from car dealer Matt Bowers, is located near the Little Woods neighborhood on the Interstate 10 Service Road at Read Boulevard.

Mackie started his film career 20 years ago and has recently turned his attention toward producing. He created a new production company called East Studios LLC for this new project. The timing is good, as there are roughly 20 movies and television shows in production in the state, according to Louisiana Economic Development. New streaming services have increased demand for new content, as did the production backup caused by the pandemic slowdown.

Economic boosters hope the project is an additional sign of life for the New Orleans East economy — along with redevelopment plans at the former Six Flags site — and it becomes the first “end-to-end” studio in Louisiana, responsible for a filmed media project from beginning to finished product

Y'know its rather sad that all that he doing for New Orleans ppl & the like yourself would much rather SPIN this thread into some shyt to fit your premise. Can't even have a sensible discussion unless it's something dumb. If he's "not your brother" then respectfully your comment wasn't needed. Not against you but we see that downplaying stuff all over this board and it's glaring.

Anyone who had to compromise himself and do gay shyt to achieve success isn't someone worthy of adulation.

What kind of signal does it send to black boys? "Gotta put on the dress, to achieve success!" Black boys should aspire to be more like Denzel, Idris, Chapelle.

I'm glad he's doing it but I wish he had done it sooner. I'm moving out of the area soon and this could have raised my property value before I sold my house.

I feel what both of y’all saying……

And all fairness…. We gotta keep it real…. Some of them “black boys” are already gay

Reminds me of that scene in The Last OG where TMorgan character is up in Brooklyn and sees these 2 hood looking dudes and goes up to them and spit that street shyt.

Then they look at him like

And start talking feminine and was just waiting for this white chick to go get a latte or something like that

I been in different cities all over the country and as see niccas that look like Paper Boi from Atlanta. But when they start talking sound like Brian Tyree Henry on Broadways or in an interview


The parents already compromised

He ain’t doing nothing
