One thing the hurricanes did was to make the movie/TV show companies find new locations to film at and Shreveport was their choice since the locations down south were destoyed. Some of the stars that have been here filming are Ashton Kutcher, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore, Kevin Costner, David Arquette, Ray Liotta, Julianna Margulies and Darryl Hannah just to name a few.
