If you're planning to be in Baton Rouge next week, you may want to be aware that some of the roads will be closed downtown for intermittent periods. But the reason for the closures is kind of cool.

Several blocks of Downtown Baton Rouge will be closing next week for a movie shoot. Filming starts on Tuesday, August 6 and will end Saturday, August 10.

Several scenes will include actors and stuntmen holding prop firearms and acting out a shootout. Now that's cool!

On August 10, the crew will have audible gunfire and minimal, explosive-type noise.
