LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Hit Man', the upcoming romantic action comedy directed by Richard Linklater, has been generating significant buzz ahead of its theatrical release on May 24, 2024, and its Netflix debut on June 7, 2024. This highly anticipated film, based on Skip Hollandsworth's novel of the same name, promises a captivating blend of humor, romance, and high-octane action.

With an ensemble cast including Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio, Retta, Sanjay Rao, Evan Holtzman, Molly Bernard, and Mike Markoff, 'Hit Man' is set to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Filming locations play a crucial role in bringing the story to life, and 'Hit Man' is no exception. The film's production took advantage of a variety of vibrant and atmospheric settings to enhance the narrative.

Primarily filmed in the bustling and culturally rich city of Louisiana, 'Hit Man' captures the essence of the city’s unique blend of historical charm and modern-day allure.

New Orleans adds a sprinkle of magic to 'Hit Man'. This vibrant city, steeped in history and culture, becomes the perfect stage for Gary Johnson's undercover transformation.

The French Quarter, with its wrought-iron balconies and colorful facades, provides a visually stunning backdrop for Gary's comedic struggles, as he attempts to blend in with the criminal underworld. Imagine him fumbling with a hitman's arsenal while surrounded by lively jazz musicians and street performers!

New Orleans also offers a stark contrast to Gary's blossoming romance. Lush, hidden courtyards tucked away from the city's energy create a sense of intimacy for his secret meetings with the captivating Madison Masters.

The city's bayou, meanwhile, adds a touch of mystery and danger, hinting at the hidden world Gary is navigating. With its unique blend of charm and grit, New Orleans becomes more than just a setting for 'Hit Man', it becomes a character itself, adding layers of intrigue and humor to Gary's undercover adventure.
